"Robyn Hitchcock Respects Simpler Sounds" (Excerpt)
by Gene Stout
English singer-songwriter Robyn Hitchcock remembers his last Seattle concert as a strange, surreal experience.
The show -- at the University of Washington's HUB Ballroom in February, 1992 -- was just two days before his father, painter and poet Raymond Hitchcock, died of cancer.
"What was really odd is that some of the people were dressed up as characters from my songs, which threw me for a loop. There was somebody dressed as the devil, and some other people dressed as coachmen."
"My father was about to die, so I was getting spooked. It was all very odd."
