I guess I know from firsthand experience about that one. That is certainly a big reason why far-less can't tour right now. Yeah no kidding about the bands thing.

Living in Va, when all of the big name bands only come to D.C., 5 hours away, ticket prices are high enough as it is, but now you can't afford to drive to see the show because it would cost you more to get there than it would for a ticket.

How about those bands who rely on touring in a gas-hording van (usually towing a trailer) on those summer tours that I loved going to when I was younger? Gone are the $5 shows because those bands need more money just to get to the next town. Me = very glad I'm not a touring musician, but glad there are those who will make the sacrifice.

It's a non-sustainable and quickly-depleting resource anyway. When we stop buying their oil what will they have? Sand. They can keep their sand and we'll be running an economy on something cooler like chlorophyll. (Not that that would work at all - lol. Just saying that we need to find something a lot more sustainable and leave the OPEC nations with nothing to show for all their market manipulation and power playing).

It is hard for us who don't live in an area where the answer is simple, take public transportation. We don't have that option. And when the gas prices go up and are continueing to rise, so does everything else. I for one am tired of eating Ramen 3 times a day because milk is so high cereal is like a luxury now. It's only a matter of time before the dollar menu becomes obsolete and we are all at home eating Ramen. I don't understand why we don't find alternative ways to find oil instead of just dealing with the Middle East. My dad told me that he heard on some news program that it is relatively easy to make gas out of coal and that there is more coal in the state of West Virginia than there is in the whole world, and for us Virginians, we know how the majority of the people in WVA are unemployed, i don't understand why they don't employ the state and make the gas, and save the USA eventually. I don't know how true the whole coal being converted into gas thing is, i didn't see he program, but i think we should be exploring these options instead of just coping. I for one, cannot afford to cope much longer, i'm almost at the point that i would be better off quitting my job and getting welfare than i would be spending the money to get to my job. And i don't have that much of a commute. I agree with everything you said. It is hard for us who don't live in an area where the answer is simple, take public transportation.

But before that, i would ride my bike everywhere or take public transportation. i'm thinking of investing in a bicycle and taking that to work, even if i need to leave for work and hour early. hey there, i'm 23 these days, and i only started driving when i turned 20.
