“I played recently in Greenville, South Carolina, for the second time this year. After the most recent show, a guy came up to me and said, ‘Hey Chris, do you remember me? I’m Chip. I was here with my wife the first time you came through and we really loved the set, so I came back out tonight.’ I said, Great! Thanks for being here!’ Then I looked around and asked, ‘So where’s your wife?’ He said, ‘Funny you should mention that. We broke up. I came out tonight to hear you play, and the silver lining ---if there is one--- is that she actually came out too, independent of me. We both risked seeing each other for the first time since the divorce, just to hear you play.’ That was the weirdest compliment I got on tour. I guess if anybody needs a soundtrack to sitting next to their ex in a weird silence, I'm your man.”
