Was that you, Rob?

I hope some of the people who were told that are the same ones who are
always commenting on how old Robert and Jimmy look.

Poor Jimmy!  For thirty years everybody complains that he's too thin.  He
finally fleshes out a little, and this is what he gets.  

Tony again, about the Shepherd's Bush performance:

>We were even treated to an old
>style Page 'star-jump'.

So he's strong enough for that.  At the end of a show.  At 54.  He certainly
gets two hours of solid exercise every time they perform!  Wanna bet Jimmy
shapes up on tour?  BTW, he doesn't look bad at all in that little minimovie
on the MTV website.

What--you don't think Robert knows what "whimsical" and "self-deprecating"
mean?  Remember his joking in that interview in Japan that people always
assume that he doesn't understand things just because he's blond?  Anyway,
who cares if he disagrees with me?  Anything to get him talking, so I can
just sit and listen.

Self-deprecating, and self-serving at the same time!  Who says this man
isn't clever?
