Søndag blev Lloyd Cole 60, her er en sang fra hans første plads med sine Commotions i 1984, da han var 23:
RATTLESNAKES
Jodie wears a hat
Although it hasn't rained for six days
She says a girl needs a gun these days
On account of all the rattlesnakes
She looks like Eva Marie Saint
In "On the Waterfront"
She reads Simone de Beauvoir
In her American circumstance
She's less than sure if her heart has come
To stay in San Jose
And her neverborn child still haunts her
As she speeds down the freeway
As she tries her luck with the traffic police
Out of boredom more than spite
She never finds no trouble, she tries too hard
She's obvious despite herself
She looks like Eva Marie Saint
In "On the Waterfront"
She says all she needs is therapy
Yes, all you need is love is all you need
Jodie never sleeps cause there are always
Needles in the hay
She says a girl needs a gun these days
On account of all the rattlesnakes
In "On the Waterfront"
As she reads Simone de Beauvoir
In her American circumstance
Her heart, heart's like crazy paving
Upside down and back to front
She says oh, it's so hard to love
When love was your great disappointment

SvarSletSidst i 70erne var Henrik og jeg inviteret af Michael Strunge til at læse op af egne værker på Hvidover Bibliotek, hvor Michael arbejdede.
Henrik havde taget en båndoptager med, der gengav venlige bølgeskvulp under hele hans oplæsning.
Jeg erindrer, at der var ca. 5 tilhørere til oplæsningerne i den store sal med endeløse, optimistiske stolerækker...
