I was about to write something very similar.
i dread to think what I would have ended up doing without Robyn Hitchcock and Vivian Stanshall, probably something horrible and productive.

If Robyn Hitchcock did not exist, I would not be who or what or where I am today.
I'm sure that's a good thing?

@echobears Glad to hear it. I haven't been buying his recent stuff. My comment was based on the documentary "Food, Sex, Death...and Insects" and the recent clips of his on YouTube--the old material is all slowed down considerably in comparison to the original recordings. Which is fine, they're his songs after all, and I still enjoy the man's work very much--but he's not what he was 30 years ago. Who is? Paul McCartney and Bob Dylan aren't as lively and exciting as they used to be either.

@misterdeadly1 You think? He pulled off Adventure Rocket Ship and I wanna Destroy You pretty well with the Venus 3!

Why did that guy quote the line before he played the song he completely ruined that hilarious lyric.

"Beautiful!"
THANKS!

The suit.

I'm so grateful I saw so many Robyn shows in the 80's. He was at his peak as a writer and performer. He still has some of 'it' but he seems unwilling to do this type of tempo anymore. Not that this is unique to him--name a rock artist who wrote or performed the bulk of his or her very best stuff after 40--its a young man's medium.

Some are born to greatness,others have greatness thrust upon them......
And then there's RH.

The Egyptians were most of The Soft Boys so it's not too surprising :)
You're right though, song's still a load of fun. The second goofiest ever song about being arrested (Flaming Lips' win with a ditty about an earwig and LSD.)

Like the man said Holly, "A searing indictment of the arms race". I read recently that RH regrets he can't write decent protest tunes.. WTF is this?! Scotch mist? And what about 'I Wanna Destroy You' and 'If You Know Time'? Eh?! EH?! I can't imagine the 1980s (or any subsequent decades) without Robyn Hitchcock. Its simply too awful.... and I gotta big imagination...
