TIPS & POINTERS

"Hopefully, you'll make enough money to stay in a Motel 6 or something- lie about how many people are gonna be in your room. Double up on beds. And hopefully, your bass player won't spoon you like mine does.
Never burn a bridge. You stay at someone's house, you treat it like it's your own. And when you leave people talk about it. You'll meet someone in a city thousands miles away and they'll say 'Yeah, yeah, you stayed at a friend of mine's house and it was so cool 'cause you cooked them lasagne and they loved it (my lasagne rocks). You guys did the dishes'. You came in as strangers and left like friends and family. And that's the way I always want our band to be.'
