Lloyd Cole-Felt

See. I always saw Felt as some very complex entity which consisted of many elements (Dylan, Television, Velvet Underground) which redefined itself from album to album. And I don't think Cole was necessarily going for some Classic pop "commercial" sound (although he did make reference to Arthur Lee in one of his songs). Indeed, I think he had a lot of artistic integrity (although he was commercially luckier than Lawrence). Besides, just because the two bands did not necessarily have the same influences does not mean that they could not share some kind of essence that could have evolved along divergent lines. Do a bird and fly share wings even though they are not biologically related? Matt
