DEDACTR's comments on Keith Reid's words

Keith's lyrics were at their best when they meant nothing, were non-utilitarian, were an esoteric pastime, were not socially committed ... when they painted not the thing, but the effect they produced; when they reacted against the Positivist claim to total objectivity; when they evoked instead of reporting; when they found their echo in supreme fiction.
