    I was 19 yrs. old in 1980. There were 3 networks at the time. No MTV or Cable. VCR's were expensive and rare. Vinyl was still king, No CD (remember laser discs?). Punk was considered new and faddish in the US and you could get seriously harassed and beat up if you looked different, wore 'weird' clothes and hair, etc. I could go...
    Eno was an articulate theoretical and musical 'voice in the wilderness'. A breath of fresh air. Thanks for the post and the memories.

    This is super great, thank you for uploading it.
    Really wonderful to see Eno in action before he fully adopted the "Professor" persona. His interview style these days is much more measured, but it's kind of great to watch him in this clip dropping awesome science as usual but also being a little looser than we're used to seeing him.

    I was watching a interview with Dido and Brian Eno's name came up,and I never heard of him before.I dig his music.This interview really opened my eyes to the trash we have on tv here in the US.The fire hose analogy is SO true.Very well said and very insightful.Music today is way over produced.What you hear on a cd,and what you hear live,are completely different.There are only a few artists that sound as good on CD,or tape as they do live.

    The lecture was shot up at UCSC in 1976, I believe. It was shot with a school B&W camera, and colored with my video synth. The Video West interview was shot a bit later, probably around 1980, and I edited this for Video West, which was a show on KQED at that time.

    Brian Eno is an anagram for One Brain. He knows this and acts accordingly. "Idiot Glee" is part and parcel of his repertoire. I myself have just participated in Idiom Glee, which I suspect Brian is aware of but hasn't yet touched upon due to his steatopygia fetish. Long live Brian.
