“816 Shows Ago, When I First Did This Show Back In 2002, I Had No Idea How Much Responsibility There Was That Went With It. And With That We Have A Lot To Get To Because We Are No Longer A Flash In The Pan, Though I Will Say That The Beats Are Still Easy And There’s Still Meat In Each Set, Or Loaf So To Speak!”
