I actually don't go to shows anymore. Rock concerts have lost their appeal for me.
It's work to play the same songs the same way for 70 shows.
I was tired. I peaked. I left when I was on top. One year, I did 280 concerts.
I really loved touring with my band, but it felt like we would spend a lot of time playing in empty rooms - empty clubs. We had some good successes, but it's so physically hard to load up a van and drive all day.
I love whenever they downgrade a hurricane to a tropical depression, because I always think of a tropical depression as how I feel three songs into a Jimmy Buffett concert.
Eating well was something I learned as I started to be successful and had to travel and perform concerts, which are an intense cardio workout.
I call it fan fatigue. I went to see Bob Dylan last year, who I think is absolutely incredible, but he suffers from his audience.
Touring is hard on the body.
The Beatles tried to do some tours and found it to be completely pointless and became a non-touring band after that, and with very good reason.
