#8 - Another Green World by Geeta Dayal May has been the month of Brian Eno down here in Brighton. He’s been curating this year’s Festival and has been a ubiquitous feature of our cultural life for going on a month now. I read this back in February/March, before I knew about the Festival, in an attempt to get more of an insight into the man and one of his masterworks. Unfortunately, while it was an engaging enough read, it was lacking the detail I expected and left me feeling a tad underwhelmed. Sure, Dayal has picked out some interesting stuff but this AGW Lite. His Festival appearances only left me wanting to know more about him. What a lovely fellow. I also kept thinking about the numbers he must have on his mobile phone - Ferry, David Byrne, Bono, Kevin Kelly etc. I need to manufacture a reason to meet him.
