He is coming to Italy!!

[GIUMK]

Yes, it's all true. As an Italian, I followed the interview in full. Nothing new about the album. It was only a figurative appearance, as a rock legend but nothing that could intrigue on the new album or some statement on the RARHOF or on the DS.

Regarding his physical appearance: What worries me more than the weight is the slowness with which he moves. Might indeed have something to do with his back problems. Definitely not ideal for touring ... nor for anything else.

The interview wasn't as banal as I'd expected it, the interviewer went a bit beyond the usual. What I found interesting, among other things, is what he said about the kind of character that Good on You Son is about. When I heard that song for the first time (okay, not the first, maybe the sixth, because before that I was too concerned with Guy's production), I automatically assumed that there must be some underlying irony in the lyrics. As in Early Bird, My Parties, Millionaire Blues or even The Fizzy and the Still. But it seems that there isn't in this case. He said in the interview that his honest attitude towards people who've "made it" really is: "Good on you, son. I'm glad for you." Does this make the song less interesting? Maybe. Or maybe the opposite.

Actually he said that they are trying to schedule the tour in a way that's not in conflict with the musical dates, sounds pretty strange to me unless the tour starts pretty early which doesn't seem the case at all

Remember the Old Vic run has been postponed.  It appears maybe that they are working out when to book tour dates and the Old Vic and that is why it was delayed.  All we can be sure of at the moment is that the tour will begin after the Lyceum run.

Yes, when we had guessed about the tour we always thought it might start late April as sooner because that's when the musical ends in Edinburgh, although we didn't know if MK had to be involved until last date as it's not expected he plays in the musical...

Honestly, I don't see him THAT bad He's never in his "element" in these occasions (a public interview!!) and somehow it could make him less "fluent" with his movements. He's actually got fatter, and tha could be a problem when touring, but he was in a clear good mood and that's what really counts!

Is it just me thinking that the tour is already set and we are just waiting for official release of the dates? Probably in the next 4 weeks. Somehow i found it hard to believe that they are still working on dates and venues......

[jbaent]

The tour is set but there are always gaps to fill with concerts that are not closed yet...

So remember we wondered if it was about someone special.. the Interviewer asked about some irony in the lyrics...

I wonder if it is daring to say then that his song writing failed in this case?  There is a difference in us wanting him to explain the deeper, secret meanings on the one side and in him explaining to us how it was really meant on the other...
