Anything else made him agitated and upset. Even new age type aromatherapy 'soothing' music made him nervous. The brain-trauma rehab team said, well, traumatic brain injuries cause people to be more primitive in every way. After he recovered a lot more, he went back to his pre-accident faves, hippy drug music (G.Dead, Clapton, yeech). I will always remember that first year where he was actually pretty cool to be around--drooling, spazzing out and listening to and appreciating 'Blitzkrieg Bop'.

At the risk of drawing attention away from the important scientific COO-pon vs KYOO-pon research currently underway at Eb Laboratories, I would like to see some of yez chime in with your votes for the best reunion albums. I just want some evidence that a reunion album might possibly actually be a good idea. Because I really can't think of any exceptionally good ones off the top of my head. I'm sure you'll all set me straight. Needs to be a bona fide reunion album, though, with all new material. No live recordings of the Velvet Underground, because we've already established that the reunion TOUR is a good idea... > This is going to be a Robyn Hitchcock record with a really good backing > band, which has happened before (cf Egyptians).

There's a certain energy that band had and that's not going to be easily reincarnated. > It's not going to sound like "Can of Bees" I'm with whoever it was who said they wished the Soft Boys had kept doing that kind of stuff. Because you know, as "out of place" as Underwater Moonlight was in 1980, it's nowhere near as unique as the stuff they were doing on A Can Of Bees. One of the reasons I thought the Soft Boys were such a great band was that they incorporated so many different styles of music and wove them together in such an imaginitave way. > Better yet - Sean "Plastic Hair" Combs!
