“Here's the thing, bands on tour tend to devolve
into older models of hominid society. Much older. Think hunter-gatherers,
Crusaders, shrieking Dothraki hordes, or, more reasonably, Dust Bowl circus
carnies, traveling town to town, entertaining (and swindling) the rubes. The
point is, there is a natural tendency to focus all feelings of community within
the tour bubble and to dehumanize the world outside.” ―Tears for Fears guitarist
