#forgiveness

It was in Boise that I started to notice that a lot of people are drunk these days. More often than I used to, I found myself having to talk to drunks in the audience. Something else happened in Boise that happened in a few other places over the tour that made me kind of sad. I had some fans that came to shows drunk and they were laughing so hard and having such a good time, they couldn’t control themselves and they would get thrown out because other people would complain. I mean what’s more Saturday than that? I think it was in Grand Rapids that a guy yelled out to me from the audience “they’re kicking me out for laughing too loud!“ I said to the security guys from the stage “can you just move them to another section?“ I think they did but then he got kicked out again. I worry sometimes that something is going on in this country. There has always been a kind of person who has a hard time getting along with other people, but it feels like it used to be that “other people” could put up with them a little better. I think it’s getting harder to be the kind of person who has a tough time getting along with other people. And that’s really sad because those are some really great people. The kind that don’t get along with other people.
