1. : Paul Morley's Showing Off... Damon Albarn
    • On Blur, the reunion, being a frontman once more
    • That was really strange... It was a very disciplined time. I stopped drinking entirely. I dropped making this new Gorillaz record, which had been all consuming, for three months, which was really difficult at the time. Bit by bit we got back to the level where we had been in our prime. Where it was stadiums and everybody singing and very euphoric. And then after the last gig in Scotland I got on the train and left it all behind. That's it, I haven't thought about it since. For me, it was so nice to do that again and to know that I had left on a good note with Graham, Alex and Dave, but I didn't come off stage thinking, "I'm a rock star!" at all. I really didn't. It was really strange. I loved every second of it and I felt the songs had lasted and there had – kind of, in a way – been a vision of Britain as it is now... but then when it had finished it was like, we've all got to get on with our lives now. It was like a really nice holiday and a really nice treat and a great honour to experience. You can't underestimate the feeling of a 100,000 people at Glastonbury just singing every word back to you... it's an incredible feeling... it's unbelievable .
