BAR in The Stranger: Sugar gets a tattoo of himself on himself

Trent Moorman of The Stranger summarizes Brent Amaker & the Rodeo's recent national tour.

Touring accesses a lobe of the brain not usually accessed in normal day-to-day life. A tour is a mobile numbing, a shuffle of clubs, people, conversations, contacts, highways, and playing. Actions taken on tour can almost take on a Jungian dreamlike context.
