Clarification: my coffin is a 7 ft. long, 3 ft. wide, and 3 ft. high sleeping space, equipped with a personal tv and curtain to scare the bed bugs away. The personal tv is misleading, since this space is really not that luxurious to spend 8 hours a night in. However, this is not a complaint, since I've dreamed of being on the road since I was 8 years old. It's quite an exhilarating experience playing shows every night. In fact, I can't think of anything better... well...<br /><br />David sang with us on stage the other night!
