Do you feel that playing rock'n'roll music
1:14:07
keeps you a child? Keeps you
in a state of arrested development?

1:14:12
No, no. I feel it's like...
1:14:15
It's more like going
to a national park or something,

1:14:18
and they've preserved the moose.
1:14:20
And that's... my childhood
up there onstage is that moose.

1:14:24
So when you're playing, you feel
like a preserved moose onstage?

1:14:28
I've been listening to the classics.
I belong to a great series.

1:14:32
It's called
The Namesake Series of cassettes.

1:14:35
They send you works of famous authors
done by actors with the same last name.

1:14:40
So I've got Denholm Elliott
reading TS Eliot on this one.

1:14:43
- Interesting.
- Yes.

1:14:45
I've got Danny Thomas doing A Child's
Christmas In Wales by Dylan Thomas.

1:14:49
Next month it's McLean Stevenson
reads Robert Louis Stevenson.

1:14:54
- Treasure Island, I believe.
- Interesting. Fascinating.

1:14:57
There's also the shorter works
of Washington Irving

1:15:01
read by someone called Dr J.
1:15:03
- That's Julius Irving.
- There you go, in keeping with the series.

1:15:09
- You like this?
- Looks like Halloween.

1:15:11
This is my exact inner structure
done in a T-shirt.

1:15:16
Exactly medically accurate, see?
1:15:18
So, if we were to take
all your flesh and blood...

1:15:22
- This is what you'd see.
- It wouldn't be green, though.

1:15:26
It is green.
See how your blood looks blue?

1:15:30
That's just the vein, the colour of the vein.
The blood is actually red.

1:15:34
Oh, maybe it's not green, then.
Anyway, this is what I sleep in.

1:15:37
Denis Eton-Hogg, President of Polymer
Records, was recently knighted.

1:15:43
What were the circumstances
surrounding his knighthood?

1:15:46
The specific reason why he was knighted
was for the founding of Hoggwood,

1:15:51
which is a summer camp
for pale young boys.

1:15:56
David St Hubbins. I must admit
I've never heard anybody with that name.
