    Tour Profits (Or Lack Thereof). Sad but true...

    For them to characterize this as a loss is completely disingenuous. They invested in equipment for future tours. They know what they can afford, and while I'm sure they wasted plenty of dough unnecessarily (from the perspective of a touring musician MANY rungs down the ladder), the fact is they...
