I am curious... Do most of you follow news when on tour or avoid it like I do? Not knocking either way, just curious what others do.

Depends...I don't mind keeping current on events but most of what passes for news these days I can do without.

I do have an elderly Grundig shortwave that I occasionally carry with me. I can also get headline news by reading the faces of the news papers in the boxes as I wander by.
