Another Short “Life on the Road” Tour Story

Some weird things happen on the road.  From the long hours travelling with nothing to do, to the strange people you meet after shows, a tour always leaves you with plenty of little amusing stories.

This short story I am about to reveal falls into the latter category.

We had just finished a show in some city in Ontario and all of us had jumped in the band van including some of Spokane’s (our guitarist) college buddies that came out to the show.  Two sketchy looking girls came up to the van window and began knocking on the window so the boys in the back seat opened up the door to see what they wanted.

One girl was twitching while the other was kind of leaning into the van as the vile smell of old liquor wafted through the door.

“Hey, where you guys going?  You look like you need some ho’s on the go!” she said as she tried making sexy eyes at Spokane’s buddy Iggy.

He replied succinctly, “Hell no,” and slammed the door in their faces as we sped off.

I know this story is not exactly headline material, just one of a million weird things that happens to you on the road in a traveling band but I needed some way of introducing you to some music that Iggy wrote after the encounter.

This piece was sent to me a while ago, obviously it is not a serious piece of music but I just thought that it captured the moment so well I had to share it with you.
