Thanks for writing this - i loved it. I sit here listening to side 2 of Funhouse as i read it.
I am now in a dreamy state as i let the music play out and reflect. I am remembering what i was doing while you were on that tour. I was at the Liverpool gig on that tour. Erics in Liverpool often had a matinee performance for the under 18s and it shut the doors at 5pm before reopening at 7pm for the evening gig. I saw the early gig and hid in the cloakroom until they reopened and i could see him again. That was just before i hitched down to London and started a new life, squatting around kings cross and camden as i fell in with musicians and artists who lived in communal squats all over London. Was so exciting! Anyway, the record has finished so…

But, yeah, thanks for bringing back the memories!
