Can we compare them here, at all ... or are they uncompromisingly disparate?

Rivron is much better than Boo 'Bible'Hewerdine. Boo's claim to fame is to prove yet again that there is no market for so-called "classic" songwriting. Rivron may be a panel game whore now by Dr Martin Scrote enlivened my childhood to the same degree that Crystal Palace dented it.

RR >> BH. Boo Hewerdine bored me to death when he supported Kristin a few years back, whereas RR has made me laugh a few times.

Appearing together for the first time ... It makes you think doesn't it?

Boo wears Rowland, like a bobble on his hat. It is so beautiful. Where is Ned Ragget, anyway?

Eh, what? Dare I ask?

Boo has never interviewed celebrities whilst floating about in the River Thames, as Rowland Rivron did in the late 1980's. Boo, with the rest of his band, the Bible, often used to go punting in his home city of Cambridge. He would lie on his back with his legs crossed, wedging himself between the burgundy cushions at the stern of the punt. As he Peered over his ripped denim knee at the band's drummer, who was standing, propelling the punt forward with a pole, one of Boo's two arms swooned over the side, chiseling dark sphincteral epitaphs in the water. And the drummer's hands slipped up the pole each time before pushing down again; and Boo could hear the drummer's hands slurp as they dispersed the algal water. But Boo has never interviewed celebrities whilst floating about in the River Thames, as Rowland Rivron did in the late 1980's.

I'm confused. Isn't Roland Rivron the bloke who took his family to Centerparcs in the Netherlands on the Holiday programme last night?

I thought that was DOCTOR FOX!!!

What the HELL is this thread all about?!

It's about bringing Ned Raggett, Rowland Rivron and Boo Hewerdine closer together, like Anish Kapoor's PVC hose, currently being exhibited in the Turbine Hall at the Tate Modern. Kapoor describes the membrane of his new sculpture as ‘rather like a flayed skin' He wants to make 'body into sky'. I just wonder if we can stitch these three personalities together into one seamless sky ... but not a sky we all end up being phobic of, obviously. I really wish Roy Blows stayed out of this project, however.
