Colin Moulding is a double threat. Just stop and look at how many of the
great XTC songs he wrote. It's easy to think Andy P wrote all those
songs, but he didn't... and that sure pissed him off! It was the same
with the DB's. You figure Stamey wrote all the good songs, but then you
look and find out Holsapple wrote some of the best ones. I had the same
surprise with the Windbreakers, it wasn't all Tim Lee, Bob Sutliff wrote
many of my very favorites...
Almost forgot Rick Price and John Wetton... saw the latter with Roxy,
Brian Ferry, Crimson... and I guess that's all.
