Diagonal birds

Do you want to read or go hunting for some more on Robert Wyatt and Comicopera, check out these references:
- Gulf News (UAE) – Oct 20 “Protest is a cause in its own right”.
- Salzburger Nachrichten (Ger)- Oct 20 “Ein Herbst der schrägen Vögel”. Wyatt and Kevin Ayers in the basket with Nick Drake and Devandra Banhart. The title means something like "The autumn of the crazy birds" (I think), even if BabelFish gives this translation:"An autumn of the diagonal birds".
- Chicago Sun-Times (US) - Oct 21 “Against all odds
- Is This Music - Oct 21 “Robert Wyatt”. Wyatt is named "The Nicest Man In Britain".
All the bragging is probably not going to his head anyway. Here is what he says in Gulf News: "It's got to be nice to listen to. I don't like the idea of giving people a hard time, it's a hard enough time anyway", he says, "I only do this to give myself pleasure and hope to pass it on because I'm not that deep". Come on folks, he's just a pop-singer.
