"One Is Too Many And A Thousand Isn't Enough"

I once read an interview with a post-rehab Eric Clapton where he talked about his attitude to drinking. "The idea of one drink for me is fascinating and fantastic," he said. "But it is also an impossibility because one is too many and a thousand isn't enough..."

I thought of his phrase when I read this. Only I changed it slightly to read "The idea of one Clare Teal gig for me is fascinating. But it is also an impossibility, because one is too many and a thousand is even more too many..."
