Here's To Being There... I don't really know how to write an introduction to something that hasn't happened yet. Suffice it to say that 'The Darkhorse' (new band name) and I love to tour. Twenty-five dates from coast to coast is something we've been looking forward to doing for some time now. So I will be sending you my intrepid reports from the front lines as we criss-cross the rugged autumn beauty of this fine country of ours. I'll be embedded backstage, back seat of the van, at the end of the bar and even into the fray of hoi paloi in order to bring you the best possible coverage of this action packed adventure. You'll get the inside scoop on the shows, the after show shows, the morning after lobby escapades, the endless drives (where you'll learn how to play Collett's cassette roulette), the perennial hangovers and glutinous amounts of low-brow humour, bad coffee, bad road food... all of which is not just tolerated but becomes transcendental in a haze of pot smoke and good times.
