Even the first time I went over in 1991 I was in such a rush and panic with my own life before getting on a plane to Europe for the first time it never really hits me until at least 12 hrs after landing.
I guess it's because there's so much else going on that I don't get to dwell as much on the fact that I'm on the other side of the world playing to old and new faces that have been touched by this thing of ours....this lifestyle, and music that's been coming out of NYC and the globe since the first bands over 35 years ago....then I get the realization of the journey.....and the fact that I'm still blessed to be doing it.
I'll try and keep a diary once we get started on Friday, and hopefully I can entertain you with some of the shit that goes on...which is gut-busting funny, in my opinion....if it's relative and not 'you have to be there' to find it funny, but I guess we'll see.....I'm trying to enjoy these shows now and take it as serious as back in the day trying to be heard by more and more people....I just want to do shows again.
I always said I'd do a diary when I start a tour, but then I get so beat-up on the road and running non-stop I don't really find the time...and I flake.....But I'll have the other guys entertain you as well and help me stay on point and keep up with having something day to day and not bore you.
There's a lot going on overseas with all the border jumping from Syria and in Spain I heard they arrested a group of vegan straight-edge kids alleged to be terrorists(sounds ridiculous) so who knows what's in store....let alone for this world....we'll see what happens when I get there.
Thanks, everyone, for the kind words and support helping me to reach this point and get back out there and allow one more shot at touring again.....I didn't think I'd be doing this almost a decade after breaking my neck and be close to 100% ever....I'm like the bionic man.....HA!
