London Boys

"Dejected like Delilah

She sucked upon my peach"

Casual Agent 1975

Rattling out the poetic brilliance with ease now, one of the London boys returns to England, seemingly forever, but still looking towards the Aegean for inspiration.

Can't beat bleached temples and a bit of Zeus.

The other's not far behind, languishing in France & Berlin & producing some of the most startling material imaginable, game-changing, with the pop musical language shifting sideways, inverting, imploding, self-referencing as an art-form.

This is a new landscape. Strangely, the Bolanic-one has been villified & long-forgotten/ignored as a pioneer by now.......ludicrous!

Three albums in the can, all trope-challenging.

 And there's a wealth of out-takes & ideas lingering.........in his own diary (in response to Dave's new album 'Heroes') he writes "scallywag!"

Now what does that mean?

Also he refers to Tom Verlaine as "someone I'd like to bend some notes with"........this is early recognition of a major new talent and the mark of someone who knows his musical onions! This is pre-New Wave literacy & the acknowledgement of Television as a force!! He knows that Bowie is scooping!

It was Marc who conjured a wacky plan.......one side of Bowie & one side of him on an album, but it was Bowie who pondered, did it as "music - night & day" & reaped the accolades. Clever raptor....
