sometimes I feel like I'm fading away...

more rock band 101...

1. we do not own our bus: everyone (except for a very few like neil, willie, oprah, & maybe john madden) leases their busses from companies, mostly in nashville, on a tour by tour basis.

2. we do not own our truck: (see above). we do however, work w. the same company & have for years. we even try & get the same driver (dale), & he requests our tours whenever he can

3. we do not own our production: no one does. even the dead did not own the wall of sound. I'm sure alembic-meyer-etc. had an exclusive arrangement w. them (& a great client), but they built that company around the need. some bands will own certain pieces of the rig. (ie. we have owned 2 diff multi-track recording rigs over the last few years, but this is a sep. entity. we may soon go deeper.)

4. we do not own a jet: zeppelin did. elvis probably did. the president gets to use one owned by all of us. we fly a lot.

5. we do not our stuff: it owns us.
