I Look Thuggish When I Shave My

Both Me And My Wife's Extended Family All Live Within A 50-mile Radius. Like Me, A Lot Of Them Did Time In London Then Started Drifting Back To The Countryside And The Sea. Perhaps It's A Homing Instinct.

The Very First Concert I Ever Went To On My Own Was Actually Rory Gallagher. In A One-month Period In 1973 Or '74, I Saw Him, Thin Lizzy And The Rolling Stones. I Wasn't Really A Big Rory Gallagher Fan, But I Thought His Guitar Playing Was Fabulous. But Thin Lizzy, They Were Fabulous.

Nobody Notices Me. Nobody Thinks I'm Me. But Then I Look Less Like Me Than Most Of The People Coming To Our Concerts.

I'm In The Strange Position Of The World Drifting Away From Me, But You Know What? I'm Actually Quite Content With That. It Doesn't Bother Me In The Slightest. I Don't Feel Like, 'oh God, I'm Being Left Behind.'

You Don't Really Know A Song Until You Play It Live.
