Thanks Ali, listening now!  :)

[dragonboy]

Let's hope that show was on late at night & that no kids were listening  ;)
No news of dates in Oz Ali, that's a shame...

[ali]

it's usually on between 6 & 9pm on a sunday... didn't you know we're all a bit more relaxed about swearing on radio down here?

Thanks, Ali!

Aw cute. Isn't that the truth! lol!

Anyway at least Jim is honest in his interview in that being a musician one is expected to always be the life of the party...and to be honest sometimes he doesn't feel like always being the center of attention or always being "on", dykwim?  

I think it's cool when musicians admit that they don't always want to be the center of attention, because that shows vulnerability and makes them more human and less "celebrity".  8-)
