What every musician can't live without
This is the part where I start ranting and raving about some topic that is relevant or irrelevant. Where I speak my mind and say anything about anything, polite or rude, amazing or aweful. Where I open up and let everybody know what's really going on in the van, on the road, in the band, what I think of music and the industry, hell whether I like the color blue or if I prefer red.
Instead, I'm going to take this opportunity to thank everybody that has made this band possible. Every fan or friend that has ever come to a show, been on our webpages or myspaces or facebooks... Everybody that has bought a cd, a t-shirt... Everybody that has taken us in out of the minus forty degree whether, brought us into their homes, and gave us a home cooked meal instead of greasy truck stop food. To anybody that has donated a couple of bucks to fix the van, anybody that has given us a tube of toothpaste or a bar of soap... And everybody that is reading this blog.
You are the people that make this band work. That keep us as a four piece together and sane. You are the reason we go on stage and play, your screams and applause give us the energy to go bigger. Your heckling and critisisms give us the drive to improve and become a more solid band.
Whether you know it or not, we thank you. Without you, we'd be rich with good jobs and a good home life. Instead, we are poor and living out of a broken van, but we are the happiest people you'll ever meet. We wouldn't want it any other way, and we thank you for making it possible. NO musician can live without these things. This is what makes the music MUSIC.
Keep checking this page. This is the first blog of many to come, and it's going to be updated as often as possible. Up to 20 times a week I'm sure. Whether it's Jimi, or me. Brad or wes. We'll all have a blog at some point, and your all welcome to come and pick our brains. Welcome to a new beginning of a Flatlined online community.
