Yes, we were headlining Bloodstock in England two or three years ago, I guess. It's a big music festival. And we were the main act because we do very well in the community there. And there's 40,000 people there, I guess. When you walk on stage, you have a laminate most of the time.

Yes, exactly. It's a tour laminate, and I did not have mine because I'm a sweaty mess. When I go on stage, I'm afraid I'll lose it, or if I leave it, someone will take it. People see tour laminates, they're like, ooh. So normally I give it to my guitar tech or I just leave it locked in the dressing room. On this night, I was like, I probably won't need it. We're the headliners.

So I walked up without my laminate and you have to show your laminate to get on the stage. We're getting ready to play. And this young lady doing her job looked at me and said, excuse me, I need to see your laminate. And I'm like, I'm sorry, I'm an idiot. I don't have it. And someone's like, no, no, no, he's the singer. And she's like, oh, Oh, I'm so sorry. And I'm like, no, don't be sorry.

I like you. And it's my fault that I didn't have my laminate. I didn't want to be inconvenienced. So, like, why should I be mad at this woman for doing her job? That's patently insane. She's there to keep me safe.

Which was so surprising to me. I'm like, this is not like some sort of triumph of altruism. This is a decent human being, man.
