@ sem Chumbo 23 Skidoo are a British band playing a fusion of industrial, post-punk, alternative dance, rock, and world music. The group was named after an early 20th-century American slang phrase that later made appearances in the works of Aleister Crowley, William S. Burroughs, Robert Anton Wilson, and filmmaker Julian Bigg

Same with me Bill - he had some excellent material early on - turned into a ridiculous circus act and then has redeemed his credibility although I'm passive about his material. But as Brian says he is a real fan and that commands respect. Its odd but there is a clutch of 70s singer songwriters who are dismissed as cheese but if you delve into their (usually earlier) catalogues there is often more than the odd flash of genius which has been overlooked unfairly due to cheese or pop hit moments - classic case is Gilbert O'Sullivan

There should be no guilty secrets around music - remembering that Esquivel was your parents muzak and at 18 you would never admit to liking that but in this revisionist world it is all now super cool and visionary!
