Happy 76 To “BRIAN PETER GEORGE ST. JOHN LE BAPTISTE DE LA SALLE ENO”
16 May 2024
Yes, that’s BRIAN ENO‘s full name, the one-time Roxy Music alien and by now iconic sound wizard/producer who worked with U2, David Byrne, Robert Fripp, John Cale, James, Blur’s Damon Albarn, John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) and many more.
I don’t know where he found the time to make the huge amount of solo albums, mostly focused on trancy and very mind-relaxing ambient soundscapes, he released by now, with last year’s ForeverAndEverNoMore as his most recent one.
All that said I wanna wish Eno a happy 76th birthday!
He was born in Suffolk, UK on 15 May 1948.

Wake up people,
and have some
lust for life.
Here comes Johnny Yen again
With the liquor and drugs
And a flesh machine
He’s gonna do another striptease
Hey man, where’d you get that lotion?
I’ve been hurting since I bought the gimmick
About something called love
Yeah, something called love
Well, that’s like hypnotizing chickens
Well, I’m just a modern guy
Of course, I’ve had it in the ear before
Been on a lust for life
‘Cause of a lust for life
I’m worth a million in prizes
With my torture film
Drive a G.T.O.
Wear a uniform
All on a government loan
I’m worth a million in prizes
Yeah, I’m through with sleeping on the sidewalk
No more beating my brains
No more beating my brains
With the liquor and drugs
With the liquor and drugs
Well, I’m just a modern guy
Of course, I’ve had it in my ear before
‘Cause of a lust for life (lust for life)
‘Cause of a lust for life (ooh)
I’ve got a lust for life (ooh)
Got a lust for life (ooh)
