Re: (TV) Costello/Young/R. Thompson

[Russ Van Rooy <russvr@pop.nwnexus.com>]

You know, my favorite guitarists include Verlaine, Neil Young, and 
Richard Thompson, and Bob Mould. Eclectic ? Perhaps, but I think all 
four guys share a lot in terms of tonality, modality, intensity, shear 
string bending bravado ( you know those great 1 note solos), so it's no 
coincidence for me at least to say I like these guitarists because they 
sound similar to my ear. Others certainly have heard the similarity of 
Verlaine's and Youngs' guitar playing. But for Verlaine to say that he 
doesn't care for Thompson's playing - what planet is he from anyway ? 
!!! I'm not sure I understand the antipathy he had for Costello either 
except perhaps , back then, Costello was such a darling of the critics?
