Nose Picking, farting, cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, sugar, caffeine…woops, already at seven and I was just getting started.

Shiraz, thighs, laughter, overseas travel.

Two live gigs you’ll never forget and why:
Bjork at Radio City Music Hall ’cause it was in a spectacular venue in a spectacular city and Bjork was like some kind of musical Jedi knight. Stone Roses ’cause it was my first show after I turned 18 and they started with “I Wanna Be Adored” and Ian Brown sang well.
One day left before the apocalypse and you…:
Make love to my wife.
