Re: [bomp] John Cale

[weisbaker <roky@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

he left VU in late 67 --did some work for elektra (69) and on fontana in 68 
for morning glory; he might have runned into simon who was working on 
writing solo demos around that time [maybe he got simon hooked on 
painkillers for the first time, the schmaltzy, tyrannical midget], but he 
was more oft in london --studying studio skills from the great joe boyd, i 
think--rather than LA for PR--or memphis for that dumb memphis LP--and he 
CERTAINLY did not have anything to do with terry melcher, sonically or by 
way through imitation.
i have to think--even considering the stooges--he was never THAT much of 
a"in-house" producer al la V dyke parks or someone like that. i believed he 
trod his own glorious path.

then again why would he SAY it??!!
