Question: How does one go about being a roady for you guys?
Answer: You sleep with the band.

So it’s better to look for a place of a manager/ personal assistant...
Then you have much more space in your bed as you sleep only with one?
A place for a teddy bear, aha!
But how does one get promoted to a manager, I wonder. Perhaps if the frontman likes a poor roadie, the roadie becomes first an ober-roadie, then a tour-manager and then – a manager with the right to sleep with the frontman only. That's why roadies’ death rate is so high...
And why Darryl better escaped right into the band.
And generously offered his place to naive Joey. Kinda "Would you like to be a roadie for the best band in the world?" – "Kidding? Of coz I would!" He regretted he never asked how many of them were in that best band... Eight! How cruel to be in one bed with eight... wheezing, farting, elbow pushing...
I guess he was nearly crushed several times when some big guy (like Terry or Andrew) rolled over him in their sleep.
Ouch...
But doesn’t an ober-roadie have his own bed? Privilege of the function.
Ober-roadie has a place on the edge so he can escape from time to time. On the other hand it means he is not able to crush others... It's not right... So Joey worked hard to become a manager. Because a manager can get revenge other ways...
