Aqualung on BBC Radio 4!

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I was amused by intellectual comedian and nowadays literature critic,  David Baddiel's personal  choice on last night's critics 'programme on Radio 4 (Saturday Review from 7.15pm - and I assume still downloadable). He stated out of pure bloody mindedness, (in particular to annoy the music pundits), to review Tull's Aqualung. Baddiel admitted to be a Genesis fan as a kid, but had only recently discovered the complete Aqualung. Equally amusing were the sniffy reactions of his fellow arts critics (one a serious music buff) being made to hear the album. Need more of this 5th column work!!

	As an avid in-car Radio 4 listener I'm gutted to have missed this. You see, the slightest hint of an electrical storm over the North Sea and the reception is more crackle than not, and I have to tune in to the World Service instead. Thanks for the tip, Dick, I'll try the Beeb's web site.
