Thoughts on Thoughts on a Grey Day

[bretonbanquet]

So whose idea was it to tape the batty old lady reading her poem, and who decided it would be a good idea to put it on "Bare Trees"? Has anyone ever heard a good reason for it, or should we guess who was behind it? My money's on Mick I can't imagine that Bob or John would have cared, and I doubt that Danny or Chris would have considered it a great idea.

So hands up who skips the old crone when they play the album... personally I usually play it I'd rather hear Mrs Scarrot on a 24-hour loop than listen to "When I See You Again" or something
