omg--

i'm watching Robyn Hitchcock in the Jonathan Demme film Storefront Hitchcock... he is so freakin' funny! of course, it's sometimes hard to tell whether he's not just really mad or very very clever, but either way, he's absolutely BRILLIANT!

"Siemens and Glaxo and Virgin and Disney got together and said 'Let there be Humans!'"

right now (i'm only maybe 15 minutes in) he's just been expounding on how Neil Armstrong is 7'7" and the Mercury capsule was this tiny little thing like the Stonehenge out of ...Spinal Tap and how humans grow an average of one and a half inches every hundred years (Julius Caesar came up to your pelvis), and they fed people carbonated beef, and so on and so forth... then he goes on to say something like "anyways, I got so angry that I wrote this song..." and busts into another of his kooky folk-pop freakouts.

what a marvellous weirdo!
