People,

Last night was a little tough on the old rock dudes. You see, this has been a good year for us and the crowds have been becoming appreciably larger and more vocal wherever we play. Of course, that's mainly because we usually only play in places where we have friends, and those friends are now not embarassed to bring their friends to see us.

Well folks, we have no friends in Springfield, Massachusetts. Last night we played for an audience of one, and that one was a mechanical bull. This is not a joke. I mean, there were people in the bar, and they were actually very polite, but they were not interested in us. Even the bull seemed pretty unhappy to be there.

Oh well, these are the gigs that make me so much happier to be playing in Boston tonight, although I did drown my sorrows in the wee hours of last night with an M&M McFlurry. Those things are so god damn good...
