Yeah, I felt his voice was much better and stronger during the Toronto show I was at, but that was the *start* of this leg of the tour. I think his voice seriously needs a rest now. Nevertheless, nice performances, especially of "One for Me."

I can't complain about Vicki too much, personally. I mean, she did have Bob as the sole guest on her show. And she'd clearly done her research. (A lot of interviewers would not have bothered to read his book.) And she asked some questions that I hadn't heard others ask him before -- without getting into all of the tabloid-type stuff.

It didn't help my

I believe Bob said that Montrealers were "a bit chippy," which means, I think, a bit brittle and sensitive.

(Which is a bit ironic, considering your comment! Not that *I'm* dissing Montreal, now -- I love that city. I went to university there.)

Anyway, I really enjoyed the interview, and will no doubt be re-watching it frequently...

Sensitive? yes. Angst? I don't think so. Obviously Bob's a good judge of character, even if only based on a few hours in a bus stop ;-)

Thanks for the translation!
