That Awful Man & The Vicar - Boston 22 Sep 2022

It has been interesting re-living last year's speaking tour with Robert as the clips emerge week by week. At some point, we will hopefully post a complete evening, as isolated questions only catch half of the event. The ongoing internal repartee between Robert, me and the audience is missing.
 
It is also good for the soul to be regularly made to feel like a prime chump. Whenever a question was asked, Robert would invite me to go first - sometimes with a big grin on his face for the more challenging questions. And then, having given it my best shot, I would listen to his response and go - "duh! why didn't I say that?!"
 
This week's extract from Boston is one such case. Having never wanted to be a manager - and having rescued myself from that fate - my answer is, well, so managerial. And Robert is note perfect. What keeps you sane on the road is, of course, the music...
