Wish you were a rock star?
Of course you do, who wouldn’t want to be, right? I recently spoke to a good friend who is in a
relatively famous band and asked him what life of a rock star is actually
like. Sure, he has been to some wild
parties, and yes he has opened for some BIG names, but what is the normal day
like for a true rock star? It is not
what you think. For example, while on
tour, the main voice has to make sure his vocal chords are in tip-top
shape. He said that after a show, he
sometimes won’t speak again until his next sound check. Fatigue also sets in as they are constantly
sleeping on a bus. The beds are not as
comfortable as you may think, plus the bus is constantly moving, rattling and
stopping. He also made mention of the
stress. Musicians have trained
themselves to not fear the crowd. I was
told that on his first couple of tours, stage freight would often set in and he
would get stomach ulcers from the stress.
Is there anything awesome about being a rock star? Oh ya…money, fame and yes there are some pretty
incredible experiences and parties.
Happy Thursday!
