When you played anywhere you could? I remember telling you that you don't need to do that anymore, so as to help protect you from jealous people. You definitely have better gigs now, but you were a better politician back then. Or perhaps just clueless. It's a good thing that you're a rock star, not a politician!
But how to tour and work the local scene at the same time? Just try your best. When you get big enough, the locals will claim you as their own.
