Back when I still played in a band (which was only less than a year ago), gas money either came out of our shallow pockets or our band’s show and merch earnings. In the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, oil prices are inching back up towards $95 a barrel. With gas prices fluctuating around the $3.50 - $4.00 range, touring artists are taking a low blow. All you rock stars know you could use an extra $500 dollars.
