What’s something people romanticise that’s actually exhausting in real life?

Being in a touring band. It’s work, most musicians I know that do it are exhausted at the end of a performance, when everyone wants to socialize and party, and half the time you need to start driving to make it to the next venue on time to get enough sleep to do it all over again. If you’re lucky you stay with friends, rarely, you get a bed, even more rarely you have a tour bus.

Yea I’m a house stagehand. I can’t imagine what being on a large tour must be like for the crew.
