I was thinking the same thing. I found this interesting tidbit from an interview Eno did, discussing his Roxy days: "As a result of going into a subway station and meeting Andy [saxophonist Andy Mackay], I joined Roxy Music, and, as a result of that, I have a career in music. If I'd walked ten yards farther, on the platform, or missed that train, or been in the next carriage, I probably would have been an art teacher now." It's amazing what role blind chance plays in our day-to-day lives.
Hmmmm... are we sure that there isn't a bit of truth in that "revision"? Though it's said Eno didn't enjoy touring.
