THE REVIEW

How can you not love Daniel Tracy, King Arthur with a pint of beer in hand

Coughing between Buzzcocks and Kinks.

A great love for crooked music, he could have been bigger than the Beatles.

Proletarian, J. Ritchiman, Barrett, hot dog on the street, party at Salvatorv Daly

He was great, but the passion for drugs is a mission.

Locked up in jail, they even took away his guitar. In Denmark, they made a tribute album to get him out, but he was no longer himself, lost in visions, beer, belly, missing teeth, confused memories, and a craving for heroin.

He could have been great, but maybe it's better this way.

Another hero and this album is a document for us losers
