The Danger Of Silent Burnout

The most dangerous part about burnout is: How silently it sneaks in. It doesn’t happen overnight. It creeps in. Unnoticed. You just got promoted, started a new project, or landed a new job. Or maybe you took on more, like caring for an aging parent. You’re all in, committed and enthusiastic. Doing whatever it takes […]

I Am A Roadie

I am a Roadie. I will always be a Roadie. I am a Roadie For Life. The public can never understand the things we have seen. They would never believe the things we have experienced and the thrills we have felt making the big rock shows happen. Now the bad news… Eventually we became too […]

Then And Now
