Not impossible, but not likely. The evidence is all against it.

As regards new groups/artists to focus on, someone mentioned Andy Partridge, 
and XTC comes to mind. But that just reminds me of all the difficulties. 
Television/Verlaine/Lloyd are a model of restraint and quality control 
compared to XTC.

I don't mean to deprecate XTC's musical efforts -- I love a lot of what I've 
heard -- but there's so much of it, and so much that is inaccessible or just 
hard to listen to, and life is short.

I'm sure there are people who can speak about everything XTC have ever 
recorded, not to mention live appearances, but we can't expect informed 
discussion on this list... The same difficulty arises with many other bands, 
doesn't it?

Whereas, for Television/Verlaine/Lloyd, Leo, Keith, Phil and others have 
documented just about everything for us -- a brilliant achievement!

P.S. Bono loves you. Even you, Keith.
