Perhaps this is what the journalist could supply. There must be a great punch-line to this question. Keith said to me, "What's the difference between a Lonnie Donegan B-side and a Derrida deconstruction?" (Please supply punch-line).īRIAN: (Lengthy pause for thought). ![]() I had to mention that so that we got the word 'difference' into the sausage-making machine.ĭAVID: This reminds me of a conversation I had with Keith Richards at the 1972 Weedon convention. Which is the least useful thing in you studio?ĭAVID: Bert Weedon's Big Book Of Skiffle Chords.īRIAN: I find that hard to understand, since this is a well known classic of modern musical thought, ranked alongside such worthy epistles as Derrida's Writing And Difference. This exercise may well be illustrative of much of that which you have been gabbing on about in your year-end future round-up.īRIAN: This is a very promising direction, and much better than answering questions such as, What are your thoughts on Q magazine? (which name is now fed into the system.) Meanwhile, there is one question which this man asketh which may be worth answering. Please extend any viable parts you so wish. Within an hour after this session I will be sending you the fragmented version of our interview. In fact, we could use your lyric writing program (combined with my patent lyric-extender) to make wonderfully meaningful webs of exotic and futuristic terms, which would then qualify us for a jointly held seat (I always like a seat to be jointly held) at the Sorbonne, where we could hang out with Derrida and other people I can't pronounce, let alone understand.ĭAVID: Oh hallowed exotic synchronicity! Andy and I are feeding your questions and my answers, in part anyway, into the Verbasiser. And they may string them together in any order they wish.īRIAN: Very good idea. How about arbitrarily selecting 1,500 words and submitting them on a typewritten sheet? Words like soul, tribalisation, disfranchised, reinforcing etc. Is this a step forward? For them, yes.ĭAVID: This gives me an idea, IRA old bean. It used to be that we would just talk for two hours and then they would claim they'd interviewed us, but now they send a fax saying Could we have 1,500 words on the future, Brian? and then THEY collect the cheque.
