Unfortunately I don't have a scanner, otherwise I would scan it in. But I do have the cutting filed away, and could post it if I had an address. (I get it at work, I'll have you know...)

We think, especially since there are lots of opportunities to see Green in person at the gigs and maybe even talk to him before or afterwards, that publishing this address is a bit too invasive. Therefore we decided to edit the comment and delete the address. In a comment the address of the pub Green visits regularly was posted.

God damn it pop stars with real life personas ;P Haha to think I am excited about finally getting to hear that voice live after 24 years of waiting and to think I could have just popped in the pub.

I became a fan in the 80s. Oddly, it was my love of progressive rock that got me into Scritti. I really loathed most pop at the time, but innovators like Green and Duran Duran really put art into pop. Anyway, I'm glad he's back. Now my XTC CDs will have some company. Great pop is so much better than what is commercially generated as "pop" that it is a real pleasure when it comes along. Green's new album is a great thing. So here's a thank-you to Green from California. Nice work! Jay Very nice story. I became a fan in the 80s. Oddly, it was my love of progressive rock that got me into Scritti.

I'm in London in a couple of weeks and I'm going to go to Hackney and trawl the pubs till I find Green, and then buy him a pint (of black beer of course !) and have a chat, if he'll let me ! Even if I just get a chance to say thank you for his music, that'll be cool. A very enjoyable read !
