Very happy to have found this on You Tube. I did not realise this had ever been filmed. One of my favourites from Mr Byrne.

This reminds me a lot of 'the revolution will not be televised' by Gil Scott Heron. Great pieces, this one and that one.

A very good example (I think it was intended this way) of how "cold reading" works , cold readings of the future, very perceptive clever track

In college, I heard a sneaked cassette of this, long before the album became available. Freeman Z, born 1963.

Yes, it is crazy. But remember, it was written close to 30 years ago and some of it has already come true.

Presently, I am annoyed at the fact that Qu'ran was left off the reissue of My Life in the Bush of Ghosts.
