I knew the minute I typed pompous rubbish about prior knowledge that I was digging myself a hole. In my defence, I vaguely remember a thread a few months ago asking people to record the time their 'affiliation' started, and I don't remember that any replies then boasted of a Soft Boys origin. It's irrelevant really. I think that RH is criminally underrated whether one first heard him at the outset of his career as a mediaeval troubadour in 15th century Mercia (I've got a few tapes I'm willing to swap) or as Heritage Minister in Ken Livingstone's Old Labour government of 2005.(More determinedly British references I'm afraid). Capitalism Blows, or may I call you Cap. ? I am one of your acolytes.

I thought I'd get maybe 60, 70 links to sort through. Nope, *473*. Unbelievable. I guess I didn't count on the line appearing on multitudes of people's silly "My Favorite Quotes" pages. After skimming a modest percentage of the links, I've seen the quote confidently attributed to: Frank Zappa [43 links] Elvis Costello [35] Laurie Anderson [54, significantly skewed by 22 links tied to someone who posts to mailing lists using this as a sigfile quote] Steve Martin [17] John Cage [14] Miles Davis [9] William S. Burroughs [8] Thelonious Monk [6] Morton Feldman [3] Grace Slick [2] Leonard Cohen [2] Oh, I should add that the bracketed quantities don't imply that each of those links credits the quote to that person -- that's just how many URLs contain the quote and the person's name on the same page (whether they're directly correlated or not). But I did find at least one direct link for each of those names. I don't want to turn this into a thread (yawwn), but I'm just laughing my head off at how many names I've turned up. :) I had only heard Laurie Anderson, Zappa and Costello cited, prior to this.

For a long time I'd only heard Thelonious Monk credited with this, and always accepted that as fact since it sounded like something he might say. But a few years ago I seemed to start running into a lot of people who swore it was Frank Zappa, and it'd be plausible enough from him too. That led me to believe that there were probably various people being credited with it. Until today I didn't know just how many! Thanks for the laugh.

You know, Zappa seems to be the most common answer, but it DOESN'T sound much like his tone to me. A bit too understated and elegantly pithy for him, seems like. He has a similar quote which is more strongly attached to him -- something about critics being "people who can't write, writing for people who can't read." THAT sounds much more like Zappa to me, and I wonder if people accidentally attribute the "architecture" quote to Zappa, when they're really thinking of the "can't write" quote. Possible? >This could make an interesting essay project for someone.

He has a similar quote which is more strongly attached to >him -- something about critics being "people who can't write, writing for >people who can't read." "Rock critics- people who can't write, writing for people who can't read", I believe it was. I think you may be right that it's this quote people are thinking of when they attribute the other to Zappa. Incidentally, I'm not sure what you mean by the first part. I think that quote's kind of elegantly pithy, actually. It's a good deal more straightforward than "dancing about architecture". Which is actually really ODD when you think about it- dancing is a feeling response to music, but talking isn't exactly the first thing that comes to mind as a feeling response to architecture. That's why I think Monk is more believable as the originator. It's very much in the style of the slightly off-kilter and perplexing observations he was wont to make.

(cough). HMHB support a not particularly good side called Tranmere Rovers, who live in the perpetual shadow of the two giants from across the Mersey, Everton and Liverpool. Famously the band turned down an appearance on the prestigious live rock programme The Tube because Rovers were playing at home that night. The Tube even promised to lay on a helicopter to whisk them away to the match after their slot but to no avail. (We are going somewhere, I promise you...) To try and stop people piling across the river to watch the big teams on a Saturday afternoon, Tranmere used to play on Friday evenings. This didn't work, because they were still bad, and no one wanted to watch them anyway, hence Friday Nights And The Gates Are Low, with its nod to Abba's Dancing Queen. Mr Godwin, please don't think I've got it in for you. I know I've already rapped your knuckles, sort of, once - but. ... the Season Tickets referred to in Dead Men Don't Need... are football ones not railway ones. 1966 - And All That is a spoof on the book title, but more importantly it's also the year England won their only World Cup Final. All I Want For Christmas Is A Dukla Prague Away Kit, is a play on the title of novelty hit All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth. But more specifically refers to the table football game Subbuteo. This came with a massive catalogue of potential team colours in which your homunculus players could be painted. Dukla Prague Away Kit is as obscure as it gets. I Was A Teenage Armchair Honved Fan also relates to an Eastern European football club. Often these were based around factories or railway workers unions (hence Locomotiv Leipzig etc.) and thus, in some perverse way, exuded an aura of grubby mystique for youths like me and, obviously HMHB. (That's enough football. Ed.) Prag Vec (as in... At The Milkweg) were an agitprop Rough Trade band of the late 70's. I own a single . Haven't played it for twenty years. Tonight Matthew I Am Going To Be With Jesus draws on a ghastly TV programme called Stars In Their Eyes in which contestants dress up as their favourite recording artistes and bumble their way embarrassingly through an appropriate number. They always introduce themselves by saying,"Tonight Matthew (host, complete-prat Matthew Kelly) I A Going To Be General Pinochet." Actually they usually say Barbra Streisand... Keeping Two Chevrons Apart alludes to an instruction to drivers on British motorways to keep their distance from the car in front. The chevrons are painted on the road. Chevrons always seemed an odd choice to me as well. Finally, Soft Verges also refers to a strange British road sign. Do they really think that motorists want to use the verge instead of the nice hard road? Or is it a warning to unwary picnickers lest they are sucked to their miry doom in the blink of an eye?

It's happening again. There's no list traffic. Being full of the punk DIY ethic, I feel it my duty to amend this unsatisfactory state of affairs, but HOW? Certainly not another list of words. I've had no Robyn-related dreams to share with the list. Whut am I gonna do, man? I'll tell you what. I'm going to tell you all about the fegs I've met. To date- 1. The Great Quail. He was the first feg I had contact with, as I sent him a rather disconcerting mail concerning Elvis Costello before I even joined the list. I susequently met him when I made the trek to NY and crashed his and LJ's humble abode (which isn't humble at all, but instead a fabulous artist's loft full of disturbing bunny pictures and the largest cache of CD's I have ever seen in my life). I have his Walden Books card. Hee. 2. LJ. The first feg I actually met, per se, as she answered the door to said well-heeled pad. She was lovely and kind and funny and a really amazing artist. One of the first things she did was say that I resembled Michele. I was a little too flattered, if you know what I mean. 3. Bayard. A truly charming fellow. One of the kindest people, blah blah blah. All the tropes apply. But aren't y'all tired of people singing his praises? He's kind of jerk, if you ask me (I say this merely to introduce some variety into the desciptors used for him). 4. Scary Mary. Not at all scary- very pretty in fact. I felt my womanhood threatened, but then I remembered what LJ said about Mishy, and felt better. She handed out little plastic babies (Jesuses?), of which mine is perched on my dressing table. 5. Chris Gross. Again, a misnomer as he isn't gross at all. And despite his sigfile, he's a human and a damn fine one at that. If he would just shut the hell up once in awhile. 6. Gary Assassin. A scary dude. Don't piss him off- you may end up on the suck list. Wouldn't that suck? And thanks to him, I stood directly in front of RH at my very first RH concert. 7. Woj. The main man himself. Intimidating and cuddly at the same time. How does he do it? 8. Pathetic Doug, or is Doug Pathetic? Once more, couldn't be farther from the truth. Very well-spoken and well-endowed. With hair. I meant. 9. Tim Jones. He's got an English accent! Groovy! 10. Chris Donnell. Didn't talk to him much, but he seemed like a requisite cool cat a la the Globe of Fegs. 11. Natalie Jacobs. What an amazing chick. I am honored to say she slept in my bed. We sang songs together. We did each other's make-up and sat around in curlers re-enacting parts of Grease. 12. JH3. He gave me a button! Bitchin'! A gallant gentleman, no fooling. 13. Ed Doxtator. A funny guy, and a Chicagoan to boot. We met to see OTC and Elf Power and Super Furry Animals, but I only made it through Elf Power's set before pooping out. 14. Do phone conversations count? 'Cause if they do, then Jeme counts. Does he ever. 15. Also, Michael Wolfe. Michael, you know I'm right about the geneaology of the Bagginses. I'd appreciate it if you backed me up a little more enthusiastically. Well, that's it so far. I'm off to Portland this weekend, so we'll see if I can rack up some more, or at least make numbers 14 and 15 more legitimate.
