Things are going right for Love Gone Wrong
WHEN the first single from a band called JFK and the Cuban Crisis was played on FM radio in Sydney about six years back, a fair few listeners thought it was a new song by Elvis Costello. Lead singer John Kennedy — whose band became John Kennedy's Love Gone Wrong and then just plain Love Gone Wrong — thought it was quite nice to be compared with the man he called "the Charles Dickens of the pop song".
"If you're gonna be compared with anybody, you might as well be compared with the best," he said last week.

Did we ever see a translation of this article anywhere?
Verlaine's sound actually developed somewhat by accident. "When I was in high school in Delaware I had a different sound", Tom explains. "I was using an old tape deck - you take the pre-amp out of it, which gives you the same sound I later heard when I first saw Clapton play live. He had a little thing on top of his amp, which I bet was a tape recorder with the pre-amp taken out. A lot of people did that in those days - Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page. It gives your guitar a lot of volume before it hits the amp itself. Then the amp distorts it and gives it an edge. When I got to New York my sound changes because I didn't have any of that equipment. The new equipment I bought in New York was a Fender Jazzmaster, which in those days was $95 because nobody wanted 'em. Now they're up to $400, probably because Elvis Costello had his picture taken with 'em so many times."
