I'd be interested in hearing U:M's contribution. he was meant to bring him over a few years ago but he couldn't make it?

 

[Vinnie]

This is the saddest news in a long time.

Look at the fields
Look at the grass
Look at the man
He's eating a sandwich
It's cheese and tomato

very sad news. i was watching an old music video compliation at home a few weeks ago with ivor introducing the acts, it was deadly.

Good BBC4 documentary on a while ago.

There was a documentary of his last concert "Cutler's last stand" shown at the same time which was really good (It may well be floating about on UKnova), I'm not sure how long ago it was made, but he looked very frail - still a mighty performer though

"When I do die I shall be glad to get away from loud pop music and motor cars, but I shall miss - insofar as when one is dead one can miss anything - the beautiful kindnesses of those people to whom courtesy comes naturally." - Ivor Cutler

A REAL MAN - by Ivor Cutler.

When I was 12 I wanted to be a real
man - an old man with a beard,
sitting at a table with a huge book
full of wisdom. And what did society
hold up to me for my admiration?
A golfer, a boxer, a man who ran
quickly; a soldier, a lawyer, a tycoon;
a motorist, a pop star; a footballer.
Into what kind of madhouse had I
been born? And what have I
become? A child, witlessly pouring
out whatever enters my head. I am
a madman and people gather to
listen to me make a fool of myself.
I am not a role model. This is my
protection and my security. I still
long for the table and the book, the
smell of an old man and an old book;
the afternoon light fading.

AWE! Ivor rules. My favourite is in Glasgow dreamer when he steals the headache tablets ' I have approipiated them' and takes 12 of them and then he wakes up to find he is not dead. Hes the kinda poet who makes you give a fuck about poetry. 'I will die being misunderstood'

[Doctor Bob]

"...I have composed some hundreds of songs which have pleased half the listeners and irritated the rest, thus serving to keep me tolerably humble.

...

That's all folks, but if you feel I've sold you short, try listening to silence, the music of the cognoscenti. You'll never look back."

-I.C.

 

[Doctor Bob]

So I've been lurking here for over a year and it took this to get me out of hiding. Shows how much he'll be missed.

Incongruous, by I.C.

Some people think I am a poet. I
nearly believed them once. I merely
point out the obvious in an
incongruous way. Please don't give
the game away till I am dead.

><><><><><><><><

I guess the game is away now...
