I was thinking about this while watching James Taylor live on the DVD. He and the band (including several women) are playing for almost 2 hours. How do they go that long without having to pee? Especially James- he's gotta be in his late 60's... And would the girls go offstage to the bathroom together?? You know how they can't go alone- I can see the look on JT's face now as they leave the stage, arm in arm, looking back over their shoulders, laughing.
The drummer has it easy- he can discreetly pee in a cup- he'd have to make a deal with the cameramen so they would keep the cameras off him while he drains the ol' bladder. But at least one of the camera "guys" is prone to be a fruit (not that there's anything wrong with that..), and he'd keep the camera trained on the drummer for *ahem* later use. Hopefully, his cry of "sh!t, that's a big b@st@rd" won't bleed over into the soundtrack. Maybe the keyboard player could pee in a cup as well, but he's usually sideways to the audience, so he'd have to wait until the sax solo.
When I was in a band, the longest we had to play was an hour, and then most of us made a beeline for the bathroom as soon as the set was over. Of course, we were drinking as much beer as we could handle *coff, coff* and then some... Maybe that's the difference?
Hmmmm, maybe we'll see JT in an ad for Depends soon? Or Keith Richards? Man, there's gotta be some internal distress goin' on there ;0)
