Bryan’s a singularly enigmatic chap, almost a mystery wrapped up in an enigma. I wonder how conscious has been the choice not to let light in upon magic? Is it a calculation that preserving the mystique keeps people interested, or just that I’m off duty now so I’ll keep myself to myself?
Hipsters,
Windswept finds this a more than interesting observation.
Creatives thrive in different ways.
Some can only work in a state of confusion and disorganisation whilst others have to have everything around them organised and have a high level of stability in their lives to be able to perform.
In W2’s opinion, our hero falls firmly into the latter category.
He displays the characteristic of ‘The Organised’ creative in a multiplicity of different ways.
From the big things, like the way he cherishes his roots, the importance he places on his family, his work ethic and the continuity of his locations ( homes and studio). To the more visible things like his personal appearance, the way he decorates his homes to his love of the Morris Minor.
As an ‘Organised Creative’ he will be highly protective of his environment and private life. He certainly won’t welcome off duty intrusion or anything that destabilises things.
Windswept’s bet would be that he is spending lockdown in his Sussex pile, surrounded by his family and probably plotting his next move. He will certainly be missing touring and will doubtless be concerned that life on the road may never be the same again.
That said, as the pending new live album shows, the work ethic is alive and well.
Salutations,
W2
