The buses traveled as a caravan. One night, at 3 AM, all the buses stopped for an hour. We found out that the concourse bus had seen a car flip over, tumbling into a ditch. One of the concourse kids was trained as an EMT, and he ran out onto the median and held the head of the driver up, keeping his broken neck aligned.

Apparently he cracked corny jokes for twenty minutes until the ambulance arrived, to keep the guy from going into shock. “He’ll probably never walk again,” said the kid, “but it was a good night.”

I was supereffusive with the EMT kid, called him a superhero. The next night, and every night for the remainder of the tour, he would come into our dressing room—uninvited—drink our beer, grin cheesy grins, and make schmoozy, repetitive small talk about the night he saved a life.
