Yes, I know it's late.

I've got insomnia thanks to my latest attack of gout* and a desire to finish "Billy".

Tonight we listened to a recording of one of his Albert Hall concerts, and I have to say, listening to his stories when knowing the background to them and knowing the context, what else is going on in hs life at the time gives a far more profound edge to his performance. There's a new respect for him, now I know the hardship he's faced.

Billy Connolly will never fail to bring out a true aching laugh, but now also, in his more introspective moments, like we see in his "World Tour of Scotland", he'll also manage to bring a lump to the ol' hedgewitch's throat.
