Drottingholmsmusiken by Johann Heinrich Roman

The writer Heathcote Williams died a few weeks ago, a maverick figure who had fingers in lots of pies but never courted publicity preferring to let his work do the talking. He wrote a lyric of aggressive anger which Marianne Faithfull recorded on her album Broken English, with explicit lyrics that led to it being banned in Australia. It is not my kind of music, and not really a song given that Faithfull rants rather than sings, and the backing music is close it seems to Velvet Underground or Jefferson Airplane if anyone remembers them. This link has the lyrics on screen.

Quite interesting , thanks. Like the music too. Christ , now Velvet Underground and Jefferson Airplane are for old people ? Frightening and funny reminders of our mortality.

A friend asked me if I would like to go to one of the two gigs Jefferson Airplane shared with The Doors at the Roundhouse in London (I think it was 1970), and I declined, being a youthful idiot. Bizarrely, she can be seen in the footage that was filmed of the Doors that appears in a documentary made around that time or just after Morrison's death, so had I gone I too would be on film, whereas my only record on film, also the result of adolescent idiocy, is in some footage of a Cream gig. I also declined an invitation to see Jimi Hendrix at the Savile theatre in '67. Clearly being young is just as problematic as being -or growing- old.

Love Tom Waits . Saw him live lots of times when I lived in and visited NYC in the 70's and 80's . Sitting at the piano with a constant cigarette burning , hope he quit . I think he lives in LA now.
