In case anyone was wondering: dead heading is when a pilot is flying to his next airport, not as THE pilot but as a passenger commuting to work. Devin wrote this on tour. Essentially deadheading from one venue to the next. Trying to conduct a relationship by phone. The argument, then the reassessing of how he feels about her when the heat of the moment has passed. To him, she's the sun goddess. But in the heat of the moment when she's missing him and they're fighting on the phone... you are so vicious. Hurt me. I can take it. The life of a man who is away for work. His life causes tension at home. An all too common story. And we got this beautiful song from it.

Not many people know this of Devin's performances, but the mic is actually there to "suck in" some of the volume and power. If it wasn't there, he'd literally blow the audience out into the streets Thats why you might notice during the video that two things happen: (I) Devin will occasionally turn his head to the _left_ and off the mic for brief periods during longer sustained notes; and (II) The audience's arms are in the air, waving side to side. Except thats not a conscious wave movement. Thats just that slight side breath reverberating around the concert hall, whipping the audiences arms back and forth (you'll find for a lot of these things the fans will actually duct-tape their feet to the ground to avoid losing their spot in the crowd). Its a pretty fascinating study in the force of moving air particles and also the godlike pharynx of Mr Townsend.

I once had dinner with Devin in a small German village called Markneukirchen in a hotel called the Alpenhof in 2010, he was staying in Germany for few days to discuss becoming a Framus endorser (who I worked for at the time) and to discuss the first plans for what would become his signature Stormbender guitar, after the meal he asked me to pull his finger, he let off the biggest fart, a real stormbender, it's as strange as it is disgusting that I now feel privileged that I personally triggered a Devin Townsend fart.

I saw Devin Townsend at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I can't even begin to tell you how much respect and admiration I have for Devin Townsend as a musician . I'm 55 . My son turned me on to Strapping Young Lad when the album came out many years ago . Oh by the way we're both drummers . I have 3 boys and taught them all to play . Anyway , through that I discovered Gene Hoglan and then the rest of Devins catalog. My son came to smoke me on the drums he's extremely talented , but all that is for naught because of Schizophrenia and drug addiction . Mainly adderall. Garbage ruined his life . I don't want sympathy , I just like to get that out there so others may avoid the pain and tragedy that it's brought in to our lives . So whenever I hear any of Devins music it brings me back to happier times with my boy and takes me to places I would sometimes rather be than here . His body of music is so important and incredible and I just can't say enough about one of the greatest musicians of our time. Gimmie some coffee , gimmie some coffee

That love you have is only uncommon for your own experience. Such is the way of music. I have similar affection... dependence even, for bands and songs in moments and seasons of my life, good and bad. And here is Devin... an act I knew of but despite loving metal never really got into as there's so much class there even if it doesn't connect to us deeply. That is something that I can rectify even as other songs and singers help with those things I couldn't have done alone. Here's to that power and how it helps us through, and here's to you and your son... may you both have happier seasons ahead. All the best man.
