The Guy With A Weird Eye.


Apparently, he heard Jeff Buckley in a concert, came back and recorded "Fake Plastic Trees". He took two takes and then burst into tears. Before this, Radiohead made "Creep", about a girl who he was infatuated with while in Exeter University. I was hearing both these songs today. Its music I can feel.
There has never been and will never be a band like them. There will never be another musician with a weird eye. There can never be. He's not social like the others. Miley Cyrus and Kanye West hate him, but the world loves him. His songs are fiercely alternative, unique, refreshing and transcendental. There's too much pop and punk nowadays with lyrics written by a four-year old. But there's hope. There are still some musicians left. Only one has a weird eye and he's the best. He's probably the only musician who isn't against illegal downloads. He just wants people to hear his band. He doesn't care about the money and the girls and the drugs. Very rare to find.
He almost died though. An airbag saved his life. His band wrote "OK Computer" after that. Thank God for airbags.
Unfortunately, the other musicians are dead. Kurt Cobain, John Lennon, Woody Guthrie, Bob Marley...all dead. Bob Dylan's still alive but I'm not a big fan of his love stuff. It's way better than the other shit around nowadays but after "Masters of War" and "Like A Rolling Stone"its tough to get a proper follow-up.
Therefore, the guy with a weird eye, please don't die.
