2023 live...Chapter 16: Robert Forster – Cyprus Avenue, July 26, 2023

RF solo.

With acoustic guitar.

And many bottles of water.

Older. Less hair. But still with some moves.

Well cut suit.

And the pout is intact.

When I was growing up I had four brothers.

David (Bowie). Lou (Reed). David (Byrne). And Tom (Verlaine).

A fine set of siblings.

Surfing magazines.

With the crowd singing the da-das.

The crowd singing along to every song.

Let me imagine you. His most streamed song.

The announcement of the guitar solo.

The sublime melody of Dive for your memory that would cut you in two.

We may not see him live again.

We will never see his like again.
