He was performing, guitar and vocals, outside the Tate Modern. The song was Knocking On Heaven’s Door, a song that usually makes me see in my mind’s eye, the scene in Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid where Slim Pickens is shot and sits down on the river bank, dying. His wife or partner, played by Katy Jurado, sees he has been shot and she comes to comfort him. She is on her hands and knees, a respectful distance as he goes through what he is going through, and they look at each other with love and sadness.
Meanwhile, Pat Garrett is tackling another outlaw back at the cabin seventy yards away or so. So there’s a split narrative in the scene as it cuts back and forth – and it is full of love, regret, acceptance, and death.
Wayne’s card says he is available for gigs singling and playing classic pop from the 50’s to the present, including the Beatles, Oasis, Bob Marley.
