(how many times am i gonna be asked this in this lifetime?)
Scot: Um...I guess like bluesy acoustic kinda thing.
Cab Driver: Do you like indie?
(oh g-d, really? I can't do this)
Scot: uh...well man...geez...I don't even know what "indie" means...like alternative? cuz you know, it's been so long already since the alternatuve thing that, you know, what really is alternative??
Cab Driver: No, I mean Indy...as in Indiana!
Scot: Oh.
Thinking the blow out would be the main bus malfunction, I was awoken in the middle of the night by a strange pattern the driver was was making: "blublullblublublblbl....smimsimsimismism........hmmmmm.....blblblbublbublbub..."
Seems the engine was shot and the bus could not go faster than 4 mph. The driver drove us on the shoulder of the road for an hour before stopping to fix the engine himself. We continued to sleep till Lee the tour manager woke us saying "ok here's the deal: the bus is f**cked. There's a white stretch limo waiting to take us to another tour bus about 5 miles from here.
Just then Mike (aka "reason") threw up in the toilet after a bit of a binge last night.
Cut to the Matt White band, Sharon Little, myself and "reason" pale as a ghost in a beautiful stretch limo.
We are now in bus #2 while bus #1 gets fixed. Me and Matt struming guitars, Sharon fixing up the lounge to look like a gypsy parlor.
Show in Lincoln, Nebraska is cancelled. Somehow, this makes everyone supiciously happy.
Next show: Minneapolis, tomorrow night.
Maybe I am into Indy.
