blowing detached far feeling good great hopefully involving last mind people row seem sizes time whatever whether
The sizes seem right. It's pretty much as big as you get without feeling detached or too far away from the people at the back of the audience. It's as big as you get while still involving the last row - isn't that what you look for in a venue? Hopefully they just have a great time. Hopefully it's just a great show. Whatever that does to different people, whether it's blowing your mind or just making you have a good time that night.

vanity common-sense common
Vanity can easily overtake wisdom. It usually overtakes common sense.
alcohol needs site
I don’t shake at the site of alcohol anymore. I don’t feel the need for it. If anything I’ll get stoned. I always told myself if it got to the point that it was affecting my songwriting and music that I’d stop. And it did get to the point.
guitar cheesy keyboards
That it's a lot harder to make a keyboard sound not-cheesy than a guitar.
hands annoying jerk
The British press can be so annoying. They jerk you off with one hand and smack you with the other.

No one leaves an old friend unless they are ashamed.
