Don't know the band Her's, but the story is horrible. Having done both, I'd rather sleep in a parked van than drive in the night after a gig every time and I hate when I get outvoted on that. The accident was pretty clearly the other party's fault, but there are fewer drunks on the road in the morning.

The last time I drove that stretch of I-10 in Arizona late at night, the driver of a truck-trailer fell asleep at the wheel fell asleep at the wheel, crossed the median-strip, and head-on'ed into a SUV going the other way. We got there 10-15minutes after it happened and everything was still on fire - 3 dead. I'd sleep in the van too.

Sad about Pugmire, had just heard last week that he was in a hospice. I did wonder if he was suffering from something new because he was seeming very slow in his youtube videos. He had earlier brushes with death and seemed to surprise himself with his productivity after that. I'm sure I'll hear more details soon enough.

i hate driving late at night, anytime after midnight. i think lonely interstate driving at that time is reasonably okay, but on city streets and freeways and wide-open suburban roads it's pretty dangerous. especially in L.A. and the surrounding counties. every other day there's a wreck and five people die.
