Qute the piece. Is your cousin the author?

The photo captions were particularly amusing

Interesting article.  I enjoyed it - always like to read a new reason why my favourite band ever are to be admired.   I know it's the most minor of points in the context of what the author is saying, but is it really Carl who says the only thing that stuck out for him in Europe was the bread?  Because shortly afterwards the interviewer asks Carl by name what his memories of Europe were and he, much more impressively, says the Colosseum.  Which always evokes a little 'Yay, Carl!' moment in me after the crassness of the bread comment.  So who does say that?

Not gone back to listen but am fairly certain that Brian said that about the bread. Article is wrong-- one for all the compiler sticklers.

Sounded to me like Brian said that he didn't care for France but that he liked the bread he was eating there, that specific day, in that particular studio.  I can see why THAT conversation didn't make it to the album.  Good idea.  Not such a great result.

Thanks for the link - that was fascinating.  Once put in context, the bread comment is much more understandable.
