...with the exception of his red Converse sneakers), Rollins stalked the stage throughout the performance, pouncing out toward the audience at one moment, bouncing back toward his drummer at the next.

...says Frischmann, now 30. She refuses to speak about the impact of drugs on this period of her life. When Frischmann and Albarn separated in 1998, Albarn made their breakup the theme of Blur's 1999 album, 13, and Frischmann became known more as her ex-lover's troubled muse than as an artist in her own right...
