A RATHER SAFE SHOW, ALL IN ALL...

...but you'd play it safe too if you've been averaging three hours sleep several nights running. You might not play a couple of songs you already played on the air recently (I don't imagine even the Ugly Ducklings' families have played their stuff twice in one week for quite some time), but that's what makes my fatigue unique and special.
