carla -- musings of a 'rockstar's' girlfriend
It really is rather humorous how a lifestyle that most would probably think is erratic and ridiculous feels like the norm now.
4 hour long practices shaking the whole house -- i find that I don't even notice (ok -- sometimes I do and I get kinda pissy -- i have to escape to starbucks for a while). The lead singer's girlfriend was over the other night and they were practicing. I put in a movie. We couldn't even hear the words and like 30 minutes later she was like, "oh my God. I can't hear anything. The whole house is shaking. This is crazy." And I was like, "what? are they still playing?" I had totally tuned it out and found I was reading lips. Hey --that's a new skill for me. yeah.
I do get some pretty awesome free concerts. Everyone sitting around the house with their acoustics, trying out different harmonies on new songs. They are really wonderful musicians when it comes down to it.
And if they are ever famous, I can laugh to myself as the girls throw themselves on them, "I know what they look like in their underwear -- and it ain't all that. (well except for my man, of course)"
