Being on the road is a long road.
You’ve been with these people not only for the past two weeks day after day, night after night, but the tour before that, and the one before that…
These people are your friends, your best friends…but again, the road is long, and everyone gets pesky. Pesky and annoying and frustrating and belittling and a lot of other bad things.
So here’s a helpful little trick it took me years to learn…
When you are feeling upset and frustrated at a band mate or road mate, ask to help them.
It helps.
Carry their pedal board, get them a beer, open the door for them.
Helping someone you’re mad at wrangles some perspective into the situation too.
Try it.
If I’m wrong at least you did something nice.
