the music has ruined it in my opinion

First heard this when a guy in Knutsford recited it to me in a bar and told me the name of the author -then I found this on Youtube-Brilliant.

If you see Murray -ask if he still has 'The Giant Inflatabe Sex

Pig'.

Almost blew away............so told/

I am a neighbour of Murrays, we live on a farm near Lands End. Have lived here 6 months myself and just found out that he is a poet. He is married to a former minor popstar, Zoe Pollock. Surprised to discover how clever he is. I don't condone the glamorisation of cocaine use and the money is spent on civil war in Columbia, but one has to let Murray off on that note, anyway who cares about a bunch of deygoes in Columbia anyway?

I have loaded 'Death Of Art' and agree its a great poem.

-also recorded Murray reading some of the classics that inspired his childhood. He reads them in style ( better than some of the actors I use )

[JustAudio2008]

I have put this poem on and a few of Murrays others on my site 'JustAudio2008' -plus Murray reading some of the classics-

His BBc television version of 'Cocaine' was great -somebody please put it on here..

Seen and heard it; not on here but I don't need to see it here particularly. To each his own.

BEST POEM? FIND: The Death of Art

The wxxker so-called 'music' (post punk -- HA!) 'producers' at EMI A&R had no idea about how to turn every MLY poem into a virtual 'WAR OF THE WORLDS' mini-radio play; using nothing but appropriate sound effects judiciously applied ... or to simply leave spoken - Performance Poetry - genius alone.
