I can't wait to tell the rest of the band! Nobody's that political among them, except for my kid - but then again, when he's home, he's used to hearing me ranting and snarling about stuff all the time, and talking back to the TV when some GOP jerk is on. It's like - "DON'T get me STARTED!!!!!!!" GRRRRRRR!!!!!

But THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

What does your kid play? Is he/she in a band too? I've run into several DUers here in the same "club." Do you suppose maybe we should start a DU group about it? I'd be up for that if such a thing were to happen. We could compare notes and survival tips! My boys are still pretty young but MAN they could fill a book with what they've learned just since they started touring (July 2010).
