Salim Haini is used to crowds gathering round him as he performs his incredible gastronomical feats munching through nails, newspapers and light bulbs. He says he wants to eat his way to a Guinness World record.

Mindspray: Touring and the primal man

December 30th, 2008

People think that touring is the ultimate experience for musicians and entertainers, a hedonistic odyssey where we live for our art and forget about the bland life of the everyman. Seems like something that would disconnect you from your roots, wouldn’t you say? Well I happen to think that touring turns you into a caveman, more in touch with your primal needs than ever. 

Performing in front of hordes of adoring fans sounds fun, doesn’t it? But you know what’s even better? That first shower when you land from the overseas flight, to get rid of that gross airplane film. I swear there’s nothing like it. Visiting exotic locales in other continents sounds enticing, right? But it pales in comparison to getting a decent night’s sleep, one that lasts more than 5 hours. Wouldn’t you like to pull pranks at airports and then get picked up by one of those guys holding a sign with your name? Yeah that’s nice and all, but you know what’s better? Eating regular food at regular hours. I’m telling you, touring puts you in touch with the simple pleasures of life. All that other stuff is for the birds.
