I remember a gig at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, in London - must have been about 1975. Terje Rypdal was supporting. Tim Hardin came onstage after the rest of Can, swaying about, but he was introduced as "Deacon James". The guy sitting in front of us said, "Who the hell is Deacon James?" We'd heard that Hardin was playing with Can, so assumed it was him. Later on we heard that there'd been some kind of drunken incident with him smashing the windscreen of the band's car...this would seem to fit with the various impressions of him expressed here so far!

...or if I had a hammer....remember too well those 2 concerts in Hatfield and London together with the author of this....hmmm, forgot his name, he is dead anyway, died shortly after these performances not without telling me that I had never played for my life. Well, it didn't save his. But Christ, what was his name again...remember only his lyrics from the concerts like ...phony sneakers...

Yes, if I was a rockstar, I'd have to choose a dynamic and dazzling stage name. For example:



Johnny No-Mark



or



Cat Garfunkel



or perhaps



Stubbs Dylan



or



Tokyo Rose



With names like that, you'd buy my record no matter how bad it was. Come on, admit it - you know you would.

thanks, sue, for this report. yes, it was tim hardin and you are right about his demolishing quality. as i said shortly after that he died - not without having crashed the house door of my japanese sister michi and koo stark. actually i feel quite sad about this though i must admit never having had a special musical affinity to what he had done so far.

if i was a rock star, i'd have to be called:



Britney O'Malley III



or



the Artist formerly known as Olivia Newton-John



or perhaps



the Talia Shire Experience



no doubt about it--fame awaits!
