Stan Ridgway

Yes.

Yeah, I don't know anything about Perry Ubu, but Stan Ridgway was supporting him at the Astoria 2.

How was it? Do you know what? It was just fantastic.

It was so fucking good.

Is he still going, Stan Ridgway?

I don't know.

He was doing the occasional gig in America, but that all seems to have gone really quiet.

when he was in the Flesh Eaters, and he was only in the band about three months, three or four months, and we did just three songs with him.

Stan Ridgway was the next guitar player.

He was only in the band for about two months, 'cause he wanted to do his own stuff too.

And then I had, um, that band, The Fly Boys, that were kind of a little more poppy, that were backing me as the Flesh Eaters for four, five, six months, and we did gigs around town.

So the next record is simply called Camouflage, and it's a bit of a ghost story, really, if you listen to the words.

Stan Ridgeway.

On a search patrol, hunting Charlie down It was in the jungle wars of 65 My weapon jammed and I got stuck way out and all alone And I could hear the enemy moving in close outside Just then I heard a twig snap and I grabbed my empty gun And I dug in scared while I counted down my fate And then a big marina giant with a pair of friendly

eyes appeared there at my shoulder and said, wait.
