Interviews

Melody Maker - March 15 1980

• Four years ago, when he was 17, he became vaguely involved with the Art Language movement, and eventually linked up with Mayo Thompson to form the Red Crayola. They played together for a year in England and made an album, "Soldier Talk".
• Says Chamberlain: "Mayo taught me a lot as far as 'just play - anything works in music, anything goes'. We had a great time, but as far as politics, I couldn't understand a lot of what he was talking about. Mayo had a grudge against the world. He was kind of an angry young man. I looked at it from a musical point of view - I got to play angry young man lyrics."
