Henry Cow

And you know, I mean, it's so easy for us, or at least me, to be cynical about these kind of things.

But what I've realized over the years is that, like, every generation needs its own, like, Henry Cow.

That's the way [laughs] I look at that.

Yeah.

Like, you know, I had Henry Cow growing up.

People that are younger than us, they may listen to alt, but it's not the same.

It's not of their-

Right.

Experimental, improvised, and I prefer that end of it.

I've discovered Henry Cow, Gong, people like that.

And I'll never like Yes or Genesis or Barclay James Harvest.

It's impossible for me.

I was living through their forecasts of the past.

Return To Forever, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Earth Wind & Fire, Van der Graaf Generator, Joni Mitchell, Henry Cow, Sex Pistols, Tower of Power.

You know, I might form a band.

And now I saw a lot of great people, I now realise that they really were.

But I saw Fred Frith from Henry Cow at the ICA.

And he was improvising away on his own on the guitar.

And somebody stood up and kept taking photos of him.
