I saw Belew give a lecture in 1986 and remember being just mesmerized by his “avant dobro”.

Then there’s the whole Toyah and Robert’s Sunday Lunch thing.

WTF... and yet. Such intensely creative and talented people. Wha’s like them? Damn few.

Fripp and Toyah also appeared on the UK couples quiz show Mr and Mrs a few years ago. Quite the most unexpected appearance but also quite charming in its own way.

I saw Belew sometime probably 2009 in a solo show in near Cincinnati OH. Amazing player and his solo albums are top notch. Later caught one of the first Adrian Belew Power Trio shows in Springfield OH. It was him and Julie Slick on Bass and Eric Slick on drums, both I think from the school of rock in Philly. Check them out on bandcamp.

He's dropping a new album this year.

And they're aaall dead.

... You wan' some rye?

'Course you do.

I’m too drive to drunk.

This is one of those things where I initially learned of it from that same bit of (admittedly niche) pop culture, and didn't find out was much older until later on.

Also, I do occasionally drink rye whiskey and every time I pour one, this is what I think in my head.
