A Quote by Robert Green
For over a decade, I had played every week, so to then have a season when you are not - that physical and mental high when you build up to a game and come down afterwards - was missing. It takes a while to adjust and is quite confusing.

I love comics work, and I hope I never stop doing it. But at the same time, I have my own law practice that I've built up over quite a while - it's been more than a decade that I've spent building that business - so it seems a little premature to just shut it down after nine months of working at a high level in comics. We'll see.

The Yardbirds came in to the Crawdaddy Club a week after the Stones finished their Sunday night residency. They had done it for almost a year, I think, and then we did it for a year.
