I'll have to ask him about that - not entirely sure if it was re an audience he came to dislike - it was more about questioning boundaries - those by establishment, those by punk, even those of his own making (I think)


Oh well, looks like a little heroic fantasy I have constructed around an album I have come to admire but at the time seemed deliberately designed to send me running for the hills. I think your interpretation more likely, you know the guy after all. Either way, admirable. Fulfilled both interpretations.
