The White Stripes dropped out yesterday. According to their website, Meg is suffering from extreme anxiety and can’t travel for at least a month. I was going to miss their ACL performance, as Arcade Fire is playing at the same time, but I had tix to the Stubb’s aftershow, and that was, of course, also cancelled.<\/p>\n
Amy Winehouse was initally scheduled, and she won’t be there either. This is less of a surprise, since she’s been self-destructing for a couple of months now.<\/p>\n
Also out is Rodrigo y Gabriela, due to Gabriela suffering from exhaustion. They are also taking a month off.<\/p>\n
I’m not heartbroken that I won’t be seeing these people perform, but as I sit here, about to start another workday, having worked weeks of OT and feeling tired in my bones, I can’t really feel that sorry for any of them.

The day I can take a month off because I feel tired will probably be about 30 days before I die.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
