Re: Drifting away from Cope and trying to get back

I think this is a really interesting debate & can apply to so many musicians. In one respect, the musos that try to evolve don't always get it right - nor could ever do so (Bowie '77? Yes!'87? No! Miles '70's? Yes! '80's? Er....) because they permanently shake things up. Better that than boring, dwindling repetition. In another, how many musos burn bright forever? I can barely think of one that's done so for even a decade before it all wanes. They're getting older, richer, fatter, more domesticated, less principled, more beige - maybe all of these things! Can you imagine what those '60's guys must be thinking as they start work on that 97th solo LP? You're bound to have good & bad runs.

As for Julian - maverick, enigma, whatever. I think you're along for that ride regardless. Look at recent events - Black Math? Ouch - I almost called it a day with that one but out came Balance and Civil War and I'm mad for it again. It's a crazy ride but..........I'm still here!
