"I'm content with making records, but I don't want to be doing the same thing all the time."

John Cale

Fear Is A Man's Best Friend (Est. 1999) is the ultimate unofficial John Cale website

Celebrating 25 years

1999-2024

The Fear Is A Man's Best Friend website was launched on April 10, 1999. Six pages in all, with upcoming live shows, a meagre discography, and a few photos.

25 years later things have gotten a bit out of hand: thousands of pages right now, chronicling John Cale's career in detail, with tidbits added fairly regularly.

Maintaining the site takes many hours each week. Cale fans are - as a rule - a helpful and thoughtful kind and have send over lots of information (and corrections) for which I am really grateful.
