@andrewhickey.500songs.com But the biggest gripe I have is that the Leaf style just isn't appropriate for serious music writing. It's like a fan letter by a narcissist in which he imagines that he and the star are best buddies walking the same path to redemption.

@andrewhickey.500songs.com David Leaf's book on Smile is best read with a sick-bucket by your side for every time he a) inserts himself heroically into the narrative; b) makes or quotes comparisons between Brian and composers who were really working in different art forms (not greater nor lesser).

@andrewhickey.500songs.com Is there a chance that the Lee Perry bonus will be almost as long as the Jimmy Cliff main? Cliff was the bigger international name and a great writer of melodies but Perry arguably had the greater influence on the sound of 70s reggae and dub in Jamaica itself.

@andrewhickey.500songs.com I was wondering if the songwriting tape of Sail On Sailor is the last audio we have of Brian being able to work at that speed of thought and inspiration, despite the greatness of 'Love You'. It could be a 60s work tape.

@andrewhickey.500songs.com The bogus "two-sides" framing is actually an old centrist trick - back in the 70s the BBC would say "we got complaints from both sides so we must be objective", and it was always false reasoning. The right always fucking complains; caving to it does not equal objectivity.

@andrewhickey.500songs.com Reading David Katz's biography of Lee Perry has convinced me that Perry was the most important individual in Jamaican music in 1968-70, although he couldn't have done any of that work without supremely gifted groups of musicians and an international distribution network.

@andrewhickey.500songs.com Fonella Bass's 1965-1966 singles titles had a woman in distress theme: Rescue Me, Recovery, I Surrender, Safe And Sound. Not sure if that's symbolically significant. Would not be your typical white female pop titles of the time.

@stevenc63.bsky.social Favourite Van Morrison album: Into The Music (1979). I think it's his most successful synthesis of everything he'd been developing since Astral Weeks (or TB Sheets). His 80s and 90s work is arguably variations on this LP.
