Let it be known now: The race is on for the honor of 'Rocker of the Tour'.
Whoever accrues the most nights rocked hardest will not only win the
designation of 'Rocker of the Tour', but a trophy announcing the same.
(See the photo--that's right, the plate attached to it says "Rocker of The Tour,
Horace Pinker European Tour, March 2003.)
I, the merch guy/roadie/manager/guitar tech, shall be the sole judge, though crowd votes
will be taken into consideration.
This is a sprint of a tour, so I'm expecting some fireworks--metaphorical
ones, not the kind that burn down Rhode Island night clubs and kill innocent
heshers.
So...
Will OLD MAN JONES put down his latte, PDA, Powerbook and Jetta keys long
enough to kick some ass like he did all those years ago? Or will he use his
vast salary to buy his own trophy?
Will all the energy DON saves from slacking burst forth in successful
defense of his title? Just a reminder, the title DOES NOT automatically go
to the guy with the highest blood-alcohol level.
Will GREG stay awake in the van long enough to understand that he's on tour
and playing rock shows? How much will his hair help his cause?
Will SCOTT's rock 'n' roll spirit be crushed by the stresses of home, wife,
offspring and esoteric academic degree? Or are more songs like "Motor One"
in his future?
