I have to remember this one :)

I grew up in Kansas City MO in the 60's. There was a drugstore called Katz and they had a sign of a huge and ghastly grinning black cat head lined in neon. I always thought this song had to be about that sign.

Try to imagine the size of that cat box. Lawsy Me!!!

This one goes straight to my pleasure centers.

Yeah, the video looks crude by today's standards, but believe it or not...I was a media studies student at the New School in '82 when, in a video production course the instructor showed us this as an example of what you could do with the latest, cutting-edge video editing tools! It wasn't until years later that I realized the music was by Adrian Belew...an incredibly talented guy!

Just saw Adrian do this song last night as an encore after a two hour show. The man's still got it in SPADES! The arrangement he plays these days is a bit faster and a LOT more energetic. Check it out LIVE on his new CD, SIDE FOUR, recorded just last year. GREAT STUFF!

You more likely saw Adrian on MTV with David Bowie or Talking Heads. He appeared on several videos with them.

LOL Adrian did a song called "Oh Daddy" that made a mark on the charts... Ironically, it was a song about his daughter begging him to write a "big hit." Adrian still considers it his darkest hour: flirting with the pop music industry.

Actually, there was no "stint" with King Crimson. Belew is STILL with King Crimson( for over two decades now), and is beginning a tour with them in July!
