Thread Name: Origins: New St. George (Richard Thompson)
Subject: RE: INFO REQ: New St. George/Richard Thompson
I know it's hard to accept, Rechal, but even I have flaws. Maybe I haven't given old Richard a decent chance. So far, though, when I listen to his songs, I usually don't understand what he's getting at. I like Sandy Denny. I like some of Fairport Convention. I suppose I could work on trying to like Richard Thompson, but I don't think I'd have much success. To me, he's kind of like modern art and modern poetry. I just don't get it.
Sorry to disappoint you.

Well, I don't have any Richard Thompson CD's, but I just put on a collection of Richard Thompson songs recorded by Dave Burland, and I'll give him a chance. I have to admit I kinda liked "The New St. George."
