"Senor (Tales of Yankee Power" is a Bob Dylan song from the album "Street Legal" and can also be found on the "Biograph" compilation. Great song. I assume this is the song being referred to. By the way- this is only peripherally related but I had to share it. I was talking to my grandmother today and she informed me that a friend of hers had contracted "cancer of the prostrate" :). I almost didn't share it with you because I wanted to use it in a song I'm writing, so promise me you won't use it :).

If I were him, I would listen to Robyn Hitchcock performances as I do being someone else entirely. I suppose I'd say, "wow that guys wacky, or zany, or amazingly talented, or gee whiz he sure knows how to play that thing, or ahh- what a voice!" I'd say, "If I could just write songs like that, I'd probably be me!", and chuckle to myself while others who saw me talking to myself in traffic ran up on curbs in fear of the weird guy who talks to himself in traffic. Okay, busted- I do this stuff now with my own material (although I tend to be a critic of my guitar playing). That's how I think I know what he would do. I don't know if he drives a car much, though- he says he's a terrible driver. I think of myself as a good driver, though. I try to channel my creativity away from driving, but I'm not a Pisces so that may be an unfair advantage for a Bizzarricorn. I don't know. I do know that I'm rambling.

I've though of myself at times as being a Laurie Anderson type, but that does not mean I have ovaries or short hair or can play a violin. As Joan Miro is one of my favorite artists, I like it that way. It seems to me that the more poetic and artistic the work is, the more personal each of our own interpretations become. RH is like a Riorschak (okay, I'm sure I misspelled that one) test for the soul, or whatever.

For exeample, in _GOF_'s Chinese Bones the bridge is "The line between us is so thin, I might as well be you, and anywhere I've ever been, I know you're going, too"-- that's one of my favorite Hitchcock moments. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Nov 1995 17:06:04 -0400 (EDT) From: Do Not Purchase - Penguin Defective Subject: Re: Sinister But....

There is no way he would ever release an audience tape out on disc/tape. The quality isn't good enough. What label would do it? Well, ROIR released a tape of Television called The Blow Up some years ago which was just this sort of thing (in fact, about half of it was actually a bootleg once known as Arrow). The sound quality was appalling - and the Arrow songs actually sounded a lot worse than the nth generation tape of Arrow which I bought from a suitcase on the Portabello Road. So someone might...

Well, nobody ever accused ROIR of releasing high quality audio... In a similar vein, Twin Tone's release of the Replacements' "The Shit Hits The Fans" (IMHO the best live album title ever) had remarkable sound quality for an audience tape, considering the technology of the day.
