I don't think he's a genius. In fact I think he comes over as a bit of a thicket.
Great musician though.

very original musically, although he had to have some good musicians around him to accomplish it, as anyone in that industry would need to have

Mixed feelings like.He's been brilliant and also very ordinary. Diamond Dogs was superb.

He was at Phoenix Festival years ago and he had these huge inflatable eyeballs on the stage. One got free and floated off and when a woman in Leamington Spa opened her curtains next day, she shat herself. :laugh:

Moments of brilliance coupled with moments of dross for me.

I can listen to most of his stuff, actually - exceptions being made for Laughing Gnomes, Baal and the awful Tin Machine cack of the late 80's.
