I’m sitting in a train with the rest of Atomic Tom, and we’re on our way to see Muse and U2 at Giants Stadium. Free last minute tickets from some label=genius. The thing is, I didn’t really want to go at first. How long has it been since I’ve seen a show this big? At least ten years. And somehow, I think I got desensitized to the big rock show. Strange, because I’m in this rock band that’s trying to get big, maybe as big as Muse and/or U2. I think this will be good though-like I’m gonna get my sense of scale rebooted. 3 or 4 guys on stage, making enough noise to rock 70,000 other people-I wanted that for myself at one point, and I still do, but I think I’ve forgotten what that might feel like. Tonight, we regain our sense of purpose. UPDATE: Secaucus NJ Transit is a madhouse. Thousands of people. I think I’m claustrophobic. If we ever get to this level of fame, I’m going to need to go straight from the stage to a big empty SUV or something. Weird panicky feelings. I can handle stage fright but probably not this.
