ANyone else hear it? He was wonderful. Erudite and witty as ever. He was talking about his book and the bands he wishes he was in.

Very interesting wasnt it. Interesting band choices. Wonderful rare live 1976 CBGBs recording of Talking Heads Psycho Killer. Seemed like it had an extra verse in it from what i remember. Greart interview.

Some of us actually work at that time Padraig.....
I'll check out the ABC site to see if there is a recording.
Did you hear him last month(?) talk to Richard Glover about the Go Betweens bridge?

I didn't hear him on Richard Glover Geoff, but he made a very funny reference to the bridge today. The interviewer, picking up on how much Robert loves the band name Question Mark and the Mysterians, said it would have been a strange name for a bridge if that had been his band's name. Robert said a science research building would have got the name instead in that case.

Hmm, that story doesn't sound very funny written down like that. You had to hear it!
