Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Robyn Hitchcock is a rock 'n' roll surrealist. Born in London in 1953, he describes his songs as "paintings you can listen to". As much a child of Dalí, de Chirico and J. G. Ballard as of his 1960s musical heroes, he is a master of the absurd, revelling in the beauty of the unexpected. His first band, the Soft Boys (1976-81), has remained an influential art-rock touchstone for generations of musicians. Hitchcock has floated at a tangent to the mainstream for five decades, and his songs have been performed by R.E.M., the Replacements, Neko Case, Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Lou Barlow, Uncle Tupelo, Vic Chesnutt, Grant-Lee Phillips, Sparklehorse and Suzanne Vega with the Grateful Dead, among others. He came of age in the 1960s while he attended Winchester College, an eccentric hothouse boarding school in the south of England. Hitchcock lives in Nashville with his wife Emma Swift and their two cats, Ringo and Tubby.
