12th August 1976 now wikified.

[Humphrey]

Yeah, I had a music teacher who was in a really bad way, on the edge of a nervous breakdown. He just didn't know how to deal with the odd jibe from a cheeky pupil. I think the "lessons" were compulsory but his sad condition must have had an external cause. One day he played us "Oxygene" by Jean-Michel Jarre. I was so impressed I asked him if I could borrow it for lunchtime. I duly taped it. Still rate it very highly. Listening now to the 2012 PIL album - very good, Mr Lydon is as eccentric as ever, maybe more so, long live 1980 !!
