About Stephen Duffy & The Lilac Time

Scholar and author Hugh Kenner bemoaned the collapse of “a public for an inexpensive bilingual Dante”. In this age of catastrophe and decline it is hard not to remember fondly The Lilac Times public collapsing shortly after closing time on a damp pavement in Nottingham.

The killer was always considered a “loner” an “outsider”. “We always wondered if something like this would happen. He kept himself to himself with his guns, antidepressants and Stephen Duffy cassettes”.

Witness the reports of misgivings related to the inhabitants of a secluded farmhouse, home to a lilac-wearing cult, escaping members of which appear wild eyed on local TV news.

Or the knitting group meeting in a local hostelry to create woollen miniatures depicting the changing line-ups of The Lilac Time and drawing sniggers from the bar staff.

He spent 30 years in the wilderness but it was a wilderness that included performances on Top Of The Pops in the 80’s 90’s and the first decade of the 21st century. He would often be heard telling the Wood Lane janitors that as Ezra Pound said the modern world “does not exists. Because nothing exists which does not understand its past or its future”. He thinks he is the reincarnation of Jacob Epstein or the king of infinite space. He used to mean something, but only to himself. Having come this far he rightly supposes there is very little point in turning back.

David Franks: Walkabouts Verse	Jun 9 2009 10:56 AM (Hi: enjoyed my visit.) After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans. I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind. I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.” Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen. (C) David Franks 2003
Jeb	Jun 4 2009 6:16 AM Mr. Duffy, does it ever bother you, as it does me, that you've written some of the greatest songs in the history of song-writing, but never get anywhere near the recognition you deserve? I simply can't listen to an album like "Looking for a Day in the Night," and then pretend that I enjoy what I hear on the radio. It's impossible. I cannot thank you enough for your indescribably beautiful songs.
Steve Lambert	Jun 1 2009 6:17 PM Happy birthday to you Squashed tomatoes and stew Bread and butter In the gutter Happy Birthday to you!

Faber Optimé	May 22 2009 9:05 AM Hey there, Here's one from left field... Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat? A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film: Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice. Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today. I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4 Help to raise awareness. Say have you checked out my web site recently? Take care and keep in touch. Best, Faber. "Just a guy trying to make the world a better place."
