Its okay I suppose, if its once a term or something, once a month.

the point is when you are gigging - you find yourself living the life of a motorway rat. You know all the service stations. You know which offer they're running and more often than you would like, you have to use these places.

Its not just musicians though - there must be salesmen and truckers and all sorts of people - who live on the motorways. You know, like sailors of old had hard tack and pemmican - you're stuck with flame grilled burgers, and mcchicken burgers, and its no bloody joke. hot chocolate machines that produce anything between sludge and hot water and all points in between.

Motorway folk deserve something better. If it were canal people who had to eat shit, you folkies would be rising up at the injustice.

Its indicative of the distance folkies have put between themselves and everybody else.
