BARREN EARTH - Part 4 Of Tour Diary Online
February 7, 2011, 13 years ago
BARREN EARTH keyboardist Kasper has issued Part 4 of his ongoing tour report. Check it out below:
"Yesterday’s prolonged stay at the Jackson truck stop was a baffling affair. Nobody had any idea of what condition the roads were in, and when we would be able to start again. We didn’t even know where the drivers, the tour manager and the other bus had gone.To make matters worse, the toilet door in our bus got jammed. Luckily, nobody was caught inside. However, as there was a growing desire to use the toilet, people were getting restless.
Problems with toilets seem to be a recurring theme on this trip. As already mentioned, there was an incident in the other bus on the first night. A couple of days later, we heard rumours of a very similar incident having yet again taken place, this time coupled with the actual smashing of the toilet door. Details have been sketchy about these events, but somebody has clearly been acting out of order.
Incidentally, as a result of this, also their toilet ended up being out of order. There have been actual complaints from the bus company. Accusations have been hurled at both buses for unruly behaviour, but I hope that by now our coach is in the clear, for the conduct in our bus has been exemplary. The situation is quite funny, considering that it is precisely some travelers in the other bus who have specific rules of no drinking and no loud music. In other words, a ‘silent bus’.
Silence, it seems, is a relative concept."
