Avant Garde: Johnny-come-lately


From your musical tastes to your political views, were you ever way ahead of the rest of us, adopting the new and the emerging before everyone else?


If I’m ahead of the curve,

I’m sure there’s one or more,

Who could come along

And make it better.

And then there’s me.

Johnny-come-lately,

Who can go one better than you.

The nub: 

It cuts both ways.

—Linus Fernandes.
