I was at the concert and at the time noticed the Jim M reference. However at the risk of being boring I wondered whether there was also a more down to earth explanation. Robert was about to talk about the 50 countries represented in the crowd, and I wonder if the 'perimeter' reference was also 'geographic', as in a sly nod to the 02 arena's location which is well out of the centre of London and often seen as difficult to get to etc. I could get more tenouus by wondering whether the 'there are no stars' reference was an ironic quip given all the celebrities there. We shall never know I'm sure!

Hi All
I was at the concert and at the time noticed the Jim M reference. However at the risk of being boring I wondered whether there was also a more down to earth explanation.
