A Must Listen for All Marc Bolan, Syd Barrett, and Captain Sensible Fans!!!!!
Interview Date: October 13, 2011 @11am EDT
Special Guest: Captain Sensible (a.k.a. Ray Burns) the singer, song writer, guitarist (sometimes keyboardist) of the Damned. In this podcast we talk to the Captain about Bernie Bubbles, going on Tour with Marc Bolan of T-Rex, almost going in the studio with Syd Barrett and how the Captain came to wear his beret. We get into his sudden solo fame as a solo artist and his crazy videos and as they say "much much more". One of my favorite interviews and a must listen.
I think the early eighties and the MTV generation might be one of the hardest periods for an artist to come out of. Shaking off the shackles of a successful video that had heavy rotation, I think, can be one of the hardest things for an artist to overcome. It could be the visuals that seem to nail both you and them down to a very specific time, or song. Much like a successful sitcom
