Finger injury

Drumming is highly physical, as you would expect, but it has been many years since I've played so hard and for so long that, as Ringo yelled on "Helter Skelter," "I've got blisters on me fingers!"

At one point during yesterday's Sun Run—where we played at the starting line for nearly three hours straight, with one break of maybe eight minutes, and a few others of perhaps a minute each (i.e. nearly continuously)—my hand suddenly felt sticky. I looked down and realized it was bleeding. But we couldn't stop, so I bandaged it up later when I got home.

Very rock-n-roll, isn't it?
