Occasionally, I worry about us. I was lying in bed this morning, basking in the thrill of getting a whole extra hour today, when I thought, "I bet people are arguing about this cancellation thing"...about whether people should be allowed to get pissed about it, or whether our thoughts or prayers should be with Isobel. If I can throw in my opinion, I think this is a case for the corny-but-true "put yourself in their shoes" cheese. On one hand, I can't imagine how sick with worry the members of B&S must be for their bandmate and friend. Which is a situation we've all been in at some point or another, and when a good friend is in the hospital, you're pretty prone to tunnel vision, and it's not likely that while they were waiting in the hospital to hear about Isobel's condition that they were wondering how far people had driven for the show, or how long people had been waiting for it (and how excited they had been). It's completely understandable. But so is the fact that people who had made a huge event out of the shows (like I have) are inclined to have the first reaction of anger and to expect Belle and Sebastian to try to give them at least something. So all I'm saying is, try and understand how sad and scary it is for Belle and Sebastian (especially to be going through this in a strange place), but also accept that different people have different ways of dealing with disappointment, and for some, it's anger. So just let people vent a little, a'fore people start coming out swinging. There...now kiss and make up. Now kiss again. Now with a little tongue. And pull your bodies a little closer. Do you mind if I turn this camera on?
