John Mahon is a nice guy and great percussionist. He signed his drum sticks and then threw them into the audience last week when i went to see Elton John.

The problem with having your head strapped to a mike like that, is you can’t get away from it, and you can’t use any mike technique. It’s on your face, and that’s that.
