"If you cannot recognise Charlie's intense involvement with his songs"
I find Charlie's "involvement" as artificial as I do a singer of Victorian songs.
If he was 'involved' in anything, i was in the sound he was producing rather than the content of the song - Grand Guinol.
It is as far from interpreting and communicating an emotion than is, say Grand Guinol acting - parlour singing - sorry Vic - it means nothing to me
