Of the English kind, notable examples given by Paul are John Lennon, Ray Davies & Mick Jagger. Bryan Ferry & Captain Eno also spring effortlessly to mind. My response to the BBCb& many thanks for your interest. currently, my mind is not oriented towards verbal composition - musical thinking is very different - and so please excuse me if i decline your interview offer. the point i would probably make, given the basic premise of paul morley's argument, is something like... rock music that worked to/followed some form of conceptual basis/procedure often originated from those with an art school background, as paul argues. their training was not, however, primarily musical. this is why much of their playing (to a trained musician) sounds poor - the characters didn't have a musical background, nor instrumental training - but found their way by following their particular (non-musical) Muse. many of the musicians, who were better players and had more musical training, could play "better" - but didn't have the interesting thinking & ideas & procedures of the art school graduates. "too many notes" in satin trousers with flashing lights & incomprehensible lyrics... please forgive me if i don't give specific examples of the witless adventures of young musicians & aspirant artists whose "concepts" lacked substance but whose vacuity was well played; nor interesting thinkers who couldn't play in tune in tone and in time. over several decades, some of the art-schoolers acquired musical skills. i'm not sure the converse is true."
