Um, so I'm curious, what is similar about what happened here with this polling miss to Michigan and what's different?

Yeah, so a couple things are different.

Um, [laughs] I will say this.

Wisconsin is just kind of a, a, you know, m- I don't want to curse, but an S word show.

Uh, like it was very unclear what was going on.

You know, we talked about this.

David Crowley dropped out.

Um, curious what your main takeaways are from that poll.

Bear in mind, we've only got A couple of

hours.

You know what you and I are like once we get nattering, Stevie boy? Well, the beginning of this was I'm a bit of a Rush fan.

I'm also a promoter, as well as being a musician and also doing the festival.

And for some years I'd been putting on a band called Bravado, who are a Rush tribute, who I loved.

And I had them booked for the middle of 2020.

And this particular January, January 2020, I was standing at the bar in the football club, which is the venue, as you know, Abingdon United Football Club.

right.

As a whole, if the document released Wednesday is indeed the final draft, was this worth four months of war?

it was one month of war and like three months of sort of pseudo war yeah whatever and no and maybe yes i mean like this this basically gives us nothing it gives the iranians It's letting Iran out of its trap for now.

It's letting them export oil.

It's letting them get off the ropes economically.

But the plus is it opens the Strait of Hormuz for the world economy, which is obviously important.

It's been a pain for, it's been problematic, worse for the rest of the world, really.

But it does not advance any of our war goals, not directly.

So is this just semantics, or is this a change for U.S. policy towards Iran's nuclear program moving forward?

Mm.

I think that's, like, a, a totally new sound as well.

He was going in a totally different direction to, say, Power To All Our Friends and Congratulations.

And then you had the 31st of February Street, which wasn't a big hit, it didn't include any singles.

So that's probably why it doesn't get any recognition at all.

But, um, that was definitely the foundation for Almost Famous.

And I, I think of it the same way as, um, the Bee Gee's Main Course album is considered their comeback album.

Seriously, what a, what a legend.
