Years later, I caught a documentary on IFC called "Robyn Hitchcock: I Often Dream of Trains. A Concert Film," and it was clear from the footage that Robyn's favorite subject is Robyn.
I'm not saying he's a dick. If I had asked a bunch of questions about his own work, I'm sure he would've been pleased to chat all afternoon. Maybe he thought I wasn't really a fan and got disappointed. Considering the circumstances, he was very much a gentleman.
