The first real genius of British rock songwriting! Also, he apparently got shot in the leg, a few years back, trying to prevent a purse-snatching (I think) - he's not just courageous in his artistry! P.S. He got better. (-:

@ Afterbirth666 It's nice to hear you say that about "Working Man's Cafe", cos I too think it deserves praise. Over here in the U.K. it was given away free with one of our Sunday newspapers..that was how I got my copy!!

New album is very much hit and miss for me. I especially love Dead End Street, Destroyer/All Day And All Of The Night and Waterloo Sunset, but the reworkings of You Really Got Me, Celluloid Heroes and Days/This Time Tomorrow are just dreadful.

Yesterday was legendary, Ray performing Low Budget, awesome and he still kicks ass. Genius show, what started as a slow folk piece ended in a blast of cheers, singing and clapping. Thank you for this memorable evening.
