I think he aged and matured and mellowed. He hated talking about the past and always wanted to look forward and he made a point of doing so. Not only did he start playing live, he also decided to play older tunes as well. Plus he finally got married. Somewhere in that time was a huge turning point in Green’s life. He has some of his old patterns, but they aren’t as rigged as they once were.

There was a time, though, (1984-2002 or so) when he was trying to turn his back on that sort of thing, and seemed embarrassed by his early work, and it was then that I saw this interview. And as I said, even at the time I thought he was being economical with the truth.

Doesn’t mean there isn’t an interview out there that he might have. However the link below from 2006 Green mentions Red Crayola…..

Green responded by claiming never to have heard of the Red Crayola! This despite having gigged with them, and despite Mayo Thompson of the band producing much of Rough Trade’s output between 1978 and 1982! Even at the time, I thought “well you claim your memory’s bad, but I really don’t think it can be that bad.” It’s a long shot, but can anyone direct me to this interview? I’ve scoured YouTube, and can’t find it, but would love to see it again?
