If Ed had one good brain cell left he'd cash in on the logo, the stripes, everything, including every inch of video ever shot.American by birth. Southern by the grace of God.

Well, he has already cashed in on the logo and stripes through t-shirts, guitars, stomp-boxes, etc.
But yes.....we needs video.Comment

If you like driving for bands the thing to do is get a gig driving a tour bus.
Friend of mine here in Nashville was a country tour manager for a major label artist for years.
The artists's career slowed drastically, my friend had no work, so he got on driving a tour bus with one of the Nashville bus companies. Last I heard he was driving for Lenny Kravitz....this was like, 3 years ago. But he drove for whoever.
You can make 70 grand a year.
But it is like being a baby-sitter. Lotta bands treat the bus as if it were a hotel room to be destroyed, and it is the driver's job to keep it clean and serviced, etc.Comment

I would rather drive the trucks. It's just you, maybe someone to ride along. Get the cargo to this venue by this time. What I hate driving a big rig is you make your space cushion and some idiot will pull in-front of you. What people have to realize is a loaded rig doe not stop on a dime. The driver is trying to create some stopping space and if you put your car into that and the car in front of you slams it's brakes on, you are going to get a big truck driving up your ass.
Talk to any transportation manager. Decent drivers are hard to find. Many today have lots of issues and are borderline nuts. A lot of them do the job because they just don't get along with people. So yeah, if you are a good driver and have some people skills you probably can nail and keep a good gig. But who wants to be a baby sitter of a rock band? It would be cool to drive for an entertainer that was decent.Last edited by Nitro Express; 10-27-2012, 05:27 PM.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

I never murdered any lot lizzards. Some nights I felt like doing so when they keep pounding on your rig at the truck stop trying to sell you a fuck. You could buy no lot lizzard stickers and put them on your truck letting the whores know not to disturb you because you were not interestied in their services. I don't know if they still sell those.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

It would be cool to be out there on the road just driving. Plenty to listen to on the radio. And those sleepers have TV's and good sized beds. I am enjoying solitude & freedom and driving a truck long haul has both of those. Plus there's a lot of states I'd love to drive through and see the country. And who doesn't love greasy eggs & bacon all the time? YUM!“Great losses often bring only a numb shock.

you live in So Cal and you are bored...I know people that would kill to move to your area....up here we have snow up the roof 4 months of the year and we need to take 2 or 3 vacations a year to deal through this shit....Now who`s that babe with the fab-u-lous shad-ow?Comment

It's where you live in So Cal. If you can afford to live in Malibu or in La Jolla it's still a nice place. If you are in Garden Grove or North Hollywood, it ain't so great. Also a problem is the state is broke. It's been horribly mismanaged and it's looking for money. Guess what. If you have money the state is going to want a lot more of it so the politicians can buy more votes from all the people who are on welfare. It's the same old story. Seen it before and they will be begging for a federal bailout here soon and this is a state that has a lot of oil. California is the nations third largest oil producer behind Alaska and Texas.
As soon as your state becomes a welfare state, it goes to shit pretty quick. Oh the people working for the government or getting some form of assistance have no idea, but the person trying to make payroll and running something productive feels it. When you deal with that kind of gloom, you start to forget about the nice weather; especially, when you are stuck in traffic trying to get there. I don't even enjoy visiting So-Cal anymore and I used to make a point to actually go there.Last edited by Nitro Express; 10-27-2012, 05:59 PM.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment
