Dai Griffiths is in the department of music at Oxford Brookes University. He is into John Cale, writing "Home is Living Like a Man on the Run": John Cale’s Welsh Atlantic, which might have been the first academic academic article on Cale. It's in Welsh Music History (2000), p. 159-185. Griffiths wrote and recorded a song, a tribute inspired by the Slow Dazzle album.

MP3: Dai Griffiths - Bad Boy Line (John Cale circa 1975)

There are two Welsh phrases towards the end, that mean something like: 'A vengeful God! A terrifying God!'.
