RE: (TV) Clinton Heylin

["Casey, Leo J" <CaseyL@VOLPE.DOT.GOV>]

Clinton Heylin said recently:
".....Er, the point, Matthew, 
is that you're all lDas! We 
all have our insecurities and
I could be all coy about this
but you know what, fuck it,
OF COURSE I DON'T RECOGNIZE
ANY EQUALS IN MY FIELD (and
in this I mean historian of
popular music, not just 
so-called' Dylan expert, 
my friend).  .."

"Very accurate"??? Yeah, if you accept that Fred Smith in TV is the same one
who played in the MC5. Heylin seems to. Good trick, considering "Sonic"
Smith is dead.

Ask Richard Lloyd what he thinks of Heylin. I know he doesn't share Hell's
opinion. He's quite vitriolic about it.
