    To celebrate the announcement of my 1967 memoir, I've created a Spotify/ YouTube playlist of some of the wonderful songs cascading about my ears that year. Listening links are here: linktr.ee/robynhitchcock… The book lands on June 28 via @LittleBrownUK & @AkashicBooks

    Airports would really blossom 200% with low lights, silent movies, music by Brian Eno, and the occasional salamander scuttling through the crystalline shrubbery.

    After 50 years of careful consideration, I can safely rubber-stamp "Band On The Run" a masterpiece and Paul McCartney—who wrote and performed most of it—as a pop genius.

    I have zero tolerance for people who talk at my (or anybody’s) acoustic shows, especially within earshot of the stage. If you want to listen to them rather than me then by all means have your money back. I hate losing my temper in public, but if I’m provoked…

    @RobynHitchcock disgusting behaviour tonight at your show in Totnes. Losing ur shit at a fan, and severely abusing her in an intimidating manor. I’ll be asking for my money back, and hope other people had the guts to leave your show like we did. Absolutely pathetic.

    It was really hard to avoid the ‘80s if you were there

    The logical development now, geopolitically, would be for Trump, Putin and Johnson to resign, voluntarily undergo a 30-day microdosing course of LSD whilst listening only to Trout Mask Replica, and then open an indie record store in Nebraska.

    One of the depressing aspects of being a songwriter is realising that you’ll never write ‘Life On Mars’.

    The great Bill Rieflin has changed hotel rooms for the last time - after a long battle with cancer he checked out and left us today. Musical genius and bleak perfectionist, Bill graced me with his drumming, harmonies and laser-sharp insight between 2005 and 2013. RIP dear boy.

    It being my birthday, my thoughts naturally turn to my ex-friends and downright enemies; we fell out for good reasons and I cherish our estrangement - we are united in our hostility 🕉

    When Lenny Kravitz asks "Are you gonna go my way?" it's a dilemma to respond: yes, in the long term - the grave - but not via the same path

    I thought those guys were immortal…RIP Charlie Watts, the motor in Britain’s sexiest beat group.

    When occasionally I get bitter about not having written “Boys Of Summer” I remind myself that Don Henley never wrote “Give Me A Spanner, Ralph”
