Because some of us DO understand what he's saying.
Mind you : Fear of Music was produced by Brian Eno, who no doubt
had quite a hand in moulding it. '77' still had a raw advance on
anything else that was around at the time. In fact, I thank that
album for shaking me out of a folkie torpor and opening the way to
the styles of music I am listening to and enjoying now. God .... in
'77 many of you were probably still in nappies! And I was hitch-
hiking through Europe with my guitar, literally busking for a year.
Like anybody cares.
