A bit pissed off, on my friend's behalf. I'll omit the details, but a quick read-through and some deductive reasoning ought to tell you pretty much all you need to know.

Oh, and, from another day of the same tour diary:

”I am flying in to Toronto because my promoters are also greedy bastards and it is cheaper to have me flogging my show on TV chat shows and pimping my ass to the newspapers than buying expensive ads… In my experience there is nothing you can't do for Promoters. They only reluctantly allow me to spend a couple of hours on stage away from the relentless interviews.”

Someone did his homework. Someone else is a self-important, humorless prick.

Gads, I'm angry these days.
