Death of a little very big man...

Post by prophilo »

Just happened to know abouth Kevin Coyne's death in Germany on December 2. Can't help feeling very miserable today. Although he had almost disappeared from the musical world (a few confidential yet very good records though), his voice still resounds on my record player from time to time.
I saw him twice in France and Belgium, and each time he was incredibly human and full of energy and compassion.
I'll miss you Kevin.
Will any others miss him too ?
(December 4, Zappa Day... December 8, Lennon Day... Now Coyne...
Dear Santa, can't you bring them all back ? I'm not asking for anything else this year.)

Where the hell did you get such a piece of news ?!
If true, that can only be some sort of cynicism on his part. I just can't imagine for a single second Kevin Coyne backing such ciminals. I just can't believe his Christian faith (but wasn't that some sort of just-another-tongue-in-cheek statement ?) could extend to that.
(just hope my English is good enough to make my idea come through...)

Ok. That's the Babble album with Dagmar Krause.
I bought it at te time ( and enjoyed it as everything he's ever done) but the lyrics didn't ring any bell (no wonder though, I'm french, and that sad story isn't heard of here)
I've just found someyhing on the web about this Lp which is indeed related to them. His real aim sounds a bit obscure to me but anyway I'll have another go at it then and try to make my opinion.
Thanks for the info.

But definitely that can't be in favour of these people. Not HIM !
