Not sure what's more interesting - that Morley was writing like himself basically from jump, or that he was a Van der Graaf fan (albeit one who's trying to stealthily extricate himself in the light of Year Zero)
ReplyDeleteHammill was the thinking music fan's choice for a lot of people pre-punk - most famously John Lydon. Also I think he was from Manchester (?) so there's a bit of rooting for the local boy maybe.
ReplyDeleteYes, he's fully formed, isn't he, aged what something like 20 or 21.
