all in all, although the last year and a half or so has found us away from home for all but 10 weeks (i just got this information last week and, correct or not, on hearing it, i developed insomnia), the whole of this touring has been mostly positive...of course, things being the mass of contradictions they usually are, now that we're at the end with everyone fried, the band is of course at a well-oiled high point and i'm confident that these last shows we're doing represent an all time high for blondie performances...
