Weird synchronicity.
Just going over some old e-mail about a dance I DJ'd a few
months ago, a 1975 high school reunion, and noticed a few
people wanted to hear Shawn Phillips. He was truly huge here
in Quebec (and probably not very many other places) as were
so many of those British so-called progressive rock groups.
Phillips sounded a bit like Cat Stevens crossed with
Yes.
He was so popular , and such a part of the soundtrack to the
early seventies here in Montreal, that CHOM-FM, the local
rock station that was cool at the time, used a chant from one
of his songs as their jingle. Of course it helped if you were
stoned, but it did sound as if those voices were singing
"Chom, chom, chom, chom..."
And the father of one of the non-Sting guys in THE POLICE was
in the CIA, too. I think it was Stewart Copeland.
I wonder who E. Howard Hunt's son is? Meatloaf?
But I digress....
