Interesting read
Coincidence!
I remember reading about her earlier in the year (probably when that book came out)* and being the ‘female Bob Dylan’ and being intrigued by her story.
*Just checked and I posted in here in May but it was a NYT article so probably paywalled
I enjoyed this documentary
I remember the first release of her work. The female Dylan really should go to Karen Dalton but I can see how Convese really was expressing in a new way and how she may have inspired people who heard her. The mystery surrounding her just adds further rich colour to a very interesting lady
Excellent stuff - funny how his tongue-in-cheek nickname turned out to true.
Few years old . . .
Really wish Henry Rollins knocked the fat cunt out

(I’d have thumped him off stage instead).

This is a lovely wee film from 1973 - it has a bit of everything for the meatman - heavy nostalgia with trains, cars, buses, scenery, short skirts and some really great music by Bridget St. John and Ron Geesin.
Moar bicycle riding on cobbled streets 
Enjoyed that !
And Wayfarer dinghies, sailed a few of those in the 70s
It certainly has a bit of everything in it.
I’ve lost a day to this today and may well go in for seconds tomorrow - For lovers of field recordings of country blues this is a motherload
From the bits and pieces I’ve sampled so far, that is right up my street
Forgot he ran for London mayor getting 10% of the vote
McLaren’s manifesto
• London homeless lottery system to fund building of housing - designed and constructed by the homeless themselves.
• Revive Ilea, to provide adult education at affordable prices.
• Bring back electric trams, to run to two main axes through London. More use of the Thames and alternative forms of transport such as bicycles and horses.
• Lobby to decriminalise some drugs, using Amsterdam as a model to reduce crime.
• Reclaim public places by opening parks and churches day and night.
• Hold a London carnival each year. Also establish a “Buy Nothing Day” and a “No Car Day”.
• Cheap rates for local businesses to prevent London from losing its soul.
This is quite long,but I always find him fascinating
