Happy Birthday to John Cale, OBE

John Cale, born March 9th, 1942, in Garnant, Wales...



John Cale, "Gun" (1974) as a soundtrack to clips from Sam Peckinpah's "Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia" (1974)

And a live 1976 version (you know, when Charles Palantine was running for President...)



Cale in reflective mood with Terry Riley, from "Church of Anthrax" (rec. 1970, rel. 1971)
