It presented the man as a wracked avant troubadour, alone with his cello. One by one his old associates with name brand value (Philip Glass, Allen Ginsberg, David Byrne) were trotted out to explain why Russell was a True American Visionary. (Which he was, no doubt. But like many other American Visionaries [Richard Maxfield springs immediately to mind] whose own name brand value equals the number items available for purchase [zero], the prospective record company needs every bit of proselytizing they can muster.) -- Jess Harvell http://www.freakytrigger.co.uk/russell.html -- )) (( c[_] bLiP www.justablip.co.uk (don't bother going there)
