Hey Michael, a tepid review by a guy with conventional taste
in guitar, and perhaps an addiction to the thrill of stunt guitar weedly,
weeedly, the players he usually features would give evidence to that, is a Good
Thing! It’s a call to arms, by someone trying to critique what you
do based on conventional notions of form. He obviously hasn’t been
spinning any Henry Kaiser, or Fred Frith platters lately I would venture to
guess. I read a great interview with guitarist Earl Slick one time, and he was
talking about his tenure with John Lennon (lucky bastard) and Yoko Ono in
specific. He said something to the effect that most people simply don’t
get abstract music, it makes them uncomfortable and even scares them, and in a
way Yoko’s music was savaged because people were judging it in the
context of John Lennon’s work which was absurd. He went on to praise Yoko
both for her creativity and her character. Scoots, the guitar world needs
more nuts of your variety in the great guitar nut bowl. Now don’t go
learning Samba Pa Ti unless you really twist it around. Billy Bob Walker |
