I wish that that had been the low point in his life.

A friend once leant me a VHS tape which contained a performance by Clark and
"The Byrds" on some dreadful '80's sitcom.  It was very sad indeed.  But he
left some great music behind.  I did "She Don't Care About Time" as the
toast at a friend's wedding.  (Then again, I did an acoustic version of
Sonic Youth's "Cotton Crown" at another wedding, so WTF do I know?)

PS the subject line keeps making me think of David / Byrne.
