For jpgray, wherever he may be: "Born Again Cretin"

[RandomKoolzip]

At least I won't be shot for singing
I'm a free agent - I can protest
This must be freedom
I must be happy!
So let Mandela rot in prison
Someone should tell him how lucky he is
Read him George Orwell, explain Solidarity because
He must understand how he needs us
What with our Culture, our Charm and our Brains
But how could he understand?
(the) heathen got no soul

-Robert Wyatt, 1982

6. Gossip

:eyes:

7. i'll pm you the details

[jpgray]

3. Rule!

My favorite song from that period of Wyatt's is probably his cover of Chic's "At Last I Am Free." My rabid fanboyism for Wyatt has yet to extend to Nick Mason's "Fictitious Sports," but it may someday. :scared:

4. Isn't that a Carla Bley collab, too?

I've been thinking about picking up "Escalator over the Hill" the next time I find it. I've heard good things.

5. Yep--I've never heard either

I'll eventually score it from somewhere I'm sure. Mike Mantler (who was involved in Escalator, I think) collaborated with Wyatt quite a bit on his last album, if I remember. Not as good as Shleep, but it has its moments.
