Just saw RH a few days ago. Fantastic show.
I'd love to hear Madonna of the Wasps here occasionally. Just such a fantastic song. Or some of his new album--which is also terrific.

It doesn't sound like a John Lennon tune to me; it has a very different phrasing and tempo than Lennon's work. This sounds more influenced by traditional British or Celtic folk music. It is a good tune. |

Never heard this stuff played anywhere. Always loved his music (quite prolific) and not sure how I found about it in the pre-internet era.
Three thumbs up

Got to see him perform this in Hoboken, NJ few years back, and Deni Bonet came on and played violin - outstanding!

From one of my favorite solo Robyn Hitchcock records. I'd love to hear Bill play some of his work with The Venus 3. That last one was excellent.

In a way,that reminded me of The Wonder Stuff, with the violin and acoustic guitar.

That Master Robyn - he's not for everyone, obviously, but I love his stuff both solo and with The Soft Boys.

No it´s not his best song. It´s not even one of his best songs....
Which doesn´t mean that it´s not a GREAT song. But I´m in a critical mood today and give only 9 pts.
