Today I found out some news that made me somewhat sad. Dave McWane of the band Big D and the Kids Tables has supposedly been diagnosed with throat cancer according to the UK/Europe booking company, which majorly sucks. He's a great guy, songwriter, performer and story teller. The band have cancelled the rest of their European tour (understandably) and are heading back to the states.
I have to say it has made me sad yet again to know that shit happens to some great people. I often get upset by stories about global inequalities, the impact of climate change, environmental disasters etc.etc and maybe I am a little to sensitive some times, but it just upsets me how unfair this world is. Seb says we just have to keep going and roll with it otherwise we will never see the positives amongst the negatives. We have to take what life throws our way and deal with it, overcome it and become stronger for it. He is right, we'd never recognise the beauty of life if it weren't hidden amongst the ugliness of it's surroundings.
My thoughts are with Dave, his family and his band at this difficult time. I'm sure he'll be back up and rocking out again in no time. If I had a pint, I'd raise in the hope of quick treatment and speedy recovery.
Keep positive.
