Darn it all. I wrote this long response this morning and then my computer puked and I lost it.
Drugs / age could be a factor, but most likely it's the zillion cables that line a stage that most people don't see. Trust me...been there done that too many times. It's my worst nightmare when a band wants to use corded mics instead of wireless. They start getting crazy, trip over a cord which sends a series of 80+lb speakers to the floor.
I took pics of the concert I did yesterday. It was a last minute call...me scrambling to throw together a stage crew...nightmare again. Now I can tell...Little River Band, but 3 pre-bands before them. I just have to figure out how to get the pics off of the cell someone loaned me.
Anywho - I kept taking pictures backstage of all the garbage that the public doesn't generally see. I was watching the lead guartist in horror as he had a massive cable that was wrapping around his foot peddle. He didn't know/care, but I kept thinking about him tripping off the stage.
Now, on to more important things. Star...what is with the birthday avatar thing? Did we miss it? Am I dense and just don't get it???
