"I've said it over and over again that I'm a classical composer, dishevelling my personality by dabbling in rock 'n' roll."John Cale

Promoting John Cale
Selling the impossible
Promoters used to have a hard time to sell John Cale. Rocker? Nah. Avant-garde? Hm. Freak? On a bad day, or a good one for that matter.
Making great music without the public knowing of its existence is bad businness. There has been a steady flow of press releases, record companies have released special promo versions and live performances are announced with posters and handbills.
