“Ah, what a noble and harebrained art this is. This conduction of mirth.”
“Justin Heazlewood handed Amanda Palmer a copy of The Tour Diaries when we were in Melbourne, but it was on my side of the bed, and I was the one that got to read it. It was what all the great rock and roll touring books would have been like, if the people who wrote them had been honest to the point of embarrassment, had a clear, self-deprecating sense of humour and had real problems with veggieburgers and plastic razors. And instead of nonstop saturnalia of groupies and rock songs, there were attempted gigs on trams and occasional unimpressed girls who won’t even kiss you.”
—Neil Gaiman
