Foxy Lady [Jimi Hendrix] From an June 21, 1989 interview with Robyn Hitchcock by Robert Loerzel (http://www.robertloerzel.com/Clips/hitchcock.htm): I read that you occasionally played with Peter Buck and Peter Holsapple and you were calling yourselves Nigel and the Crosses? RH: That's right, yeah. We did a Nigel and the Crosses gig. The first one was actually at the Cubby Bear in Chicago. It was a sort of accident. Holsapple was doing a benefit, and we all got up and played with him. We were basically covering ourselves and covering other people, doing old Soft Boys songs... basically just pop rock. Are you planning on playing together again? RH: We did one in London last month, which was quite fun. But it's a matter of getting everybody in the same place. I'd like to do one at Christmas, but it gets expensive. I can't imagine doing a Nigel tour. I read that you thought of it as an equivalent of the Traveling Wilburys? RH: (Laughs.) Well, actually the guy put that into my mouth. He said, "You mean, is it like the Wilburys?" And I said, "Sort of." The Wilburys was a way of relaunching their respective careers, you know, which was a brilliant marketing move. With the exception of Tom Petty, the rest of them hadn't been doing that well recently. I don't know really know whether -- it's different for us. We have guest Wilburys. We have Billy Bragg as a guest -- Not Wilburys, Nigels, sorry. Billy Bragg was with us, and Glenn Tilbrook from Squeeze. So they're kind of honorary Nigels. It's a floating outfit.
