was like the opposite of an Elvis memorial, because everyone was desperately trying not to sound like Nick Drake."

P.S. Saw Kim being interviewed by 'The Biographer'
P.P.S. Robyn made a quite brilliant remark about Cambridge Uni. , and how he supported it wholeheartedly because - "You can't mass-produce contorted elitism." Also some swipes at the internet and computer culture (he imagined Hitler's website, www@ahitler.com/nazi/germany.co-/ etc.)
