The one that I always remember went something like: "When you're checking out the front rows of the crowd to try and figure out how many of them you'll be sleeping with after the show, you're there for the wrong reasons."

But, he did also say fairly early on (IIRC) one of the reasons for getting into a band was due to "an inability to click with women at parties."

This was certainly a problem! Back in the early 90s when I had the dubious pleasure of working in New York Road/Eastgate Dole offices in Leeds I faced regular queues of musicians waiting for me to sign them on as they knew I wouldn't shop them.

As for not being able to attend restart interviews because they were off on tour.... a similar problem for band followers as for band members I recall.

I used to sign on at that dole office in the early 90s. I wonder if I know you?

I've heard you have a small penis. Stop worrying about it.

When you've stopped worrying, check out www.thesisters.org .

You know, I always thought that referred to Andreas. Surely Hussey is "equal-opportunity slut" rather than "queer"?

Oh is it? I don't know anything about Andreas's sexuality. But then I've never really been one to "worry about it" when it comes to what other people do with their genitalia.

I like that, "equal-opportunity slut" and yeah you may well be right. After all, Wayne's a happily married man these days.

For some reason I thought Andreas was married with children now. I don't remember where I read that, though.

When You Don't See Me was written about Andreas and his girlfriend, wasn't it?

I don't know if it was ever specified that it was Andreas, but it seems like a reasonable assumption.

Assumption is correct - Mr A.E. said on one interview that this lyrics is about that kind of situation.

1990s in Leeds village - Highly probable!
