As we return to the profession that we love so dearly, we are reminded of the things that we love to grumble about. I never thought I would miss the squelch of a radio. Here are six other things that I won’t be grumbling as much about as the live concert industry reopens: 1) Going to bed when the sun comes up, 2) Working on holidays, 3) Wearing PPE, 4) Feeling a twinge of envy upon seeing online photos of big crowds and lights, 5) Muscle memory, 6) Grumpy co-workers. Having new perspective, I will celebrate these minor grievances over sitting at home in uncertainty any day of the week.
