When You're On Stage, The Real World

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.

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.'

I'm Not Going To Worry About The Cure Slipping Down Into The Second Division; It Doesn't Bother Me Because I Never Expected To Be In The First Division Anyway

Perhaps Not As Badly Applied And Not As Obvious, But For Thousands Of Years, People Have Worn Makeup On Stage.

I Hardly Ever Listen To Any Of Our Old Stuff Now. Once The Songs Have Been Recorded And Put On To Vinyl They Become Someone Else's Entertainment, Not Mine.
