i fucking hope so. there's still fans out in the pit, we can't let them down.
[ Maybe it sounds trite, a cliche, but Eddie can't let her fans down. The nebulous idea of fans, of people who didn't know anything about her but grew to love her because of her music, because of the things she could do and hadn't yet heard the worst stories about her, was one of the main driving forces behind her getting out of her shitty hometown and making something of herself.
She's looked up to so many musicians in her life, has sat in awe as she listened to sounds she didn't know could be produced by human hands, and she wanted to be that person for someone else.
The trappings of fame — the money, the drugs, the sex — are all great too, she's not hypocritical enough to lie about that, but it's not like she's some kind of superstar. She's made enough in her career to make sure Wayne is comfortable and doesn't have to work another day in his life, and she makes enough to make sure her roadies all get paid. Even the ones who eat bad fish and wind up with diarrhea in the middle of this fuck-ass field. ]
i've played in worse.
[ She's half-expecting Chrissy to go on stage with a rain poncho thrown over her clothes. Eddie definitely won't, but that's mostly because she's never owned a raincoat in her life and she's not about to start now. Stevie is more of a toss-up; she's loosened up a lot in the years they've been touring, but there's enough of the pageant princess prom queen left in her that sometimes she gets really difficult about things Eddie thinks are no big deal. ]
i guess if management says no we can just hold an unplugged set out in the parking lot.
