Fact #118126
When:
Short story:
While walking home to Maida Vale, London, UK, from a Phil Manzanera recording session at Island Records' Basing Street studio, Brian Eno is hit by a taxi and has to be hospitalised for several weeks.Full article:
Brian Eno : For about a week I'd been feeling that I was about to have an accident. It was the same feeling as I'd had before I got appendicitis when I was 16 - or before my lung collapsed when I was doing my first and last tour at exactly the same point in 1974.
I always seem to sense when I've pushed too hard, you know? When I've been carried off on the momentum of media approval or professional opportunism and have ceased to think about where I am and what I'm doing.
We'd just finished the song called Miss Shapiro and I found myself thinking 'I wonder if that's the last thing I'll ever record?' and saying 'Well, I wouldn't mind so much if it was' sort of thing.
And then I thought 'What the hell are you talking about?' You know - what a ridiculous train of thought to be on.
About a hundred yards further up the road I walked in front of a taxi.
