I'm too old to … everyone goes: 'Oh, what's with it The rollers? 'Yes. What about The rollers? Fly in, play a show and another show two weeks later. Yes, this is two consecutive tours. Hardly any hotels. I mean the bus will be enough, but it's like a big camping trip for older men. So I want to make other albums. But the interview went that way.
