I do still get shocked every once in a while when I catch my reflection when I'm walking past a glass building, but it's in my mind about getting older and finding out what I'm going to look like as it unfolds - or as it folds, depending on where the marks and scars land.

We also did something called the Texas Peace Festival, which was actually a better gig both musically, and in the way it was organised.
