@jasonpwoodbury: “Many of his best tunes, like ‘Fool’s Gold,’ portray quite another character entirely, a knight-errant on a lonely and probably hopeless quest for a shopworn Grail: “I’m a fool, so I’m told/ I get left in the cold/ ‘Cause I would search the world/ For that fool’s gold.” For Parker the quest is at least as important as the goal itself. Like many another British rocker, he comes from a working-class background, sings out of the same wounded idealism and fractured, persistent hope.” —Jay Cocks, Time Magazine, 1979
