LOOK AT THIS ADORABLE PHOTO OF ENO FROM HIS ALBUM ANNOUNCEMENT THOUGH

Also I love this: 

On a musical level, I wanted to make a record of songs that didn't rely on the normal underpinnings of rhythmic structure and chord progressions but which allowed voices to exist in their own space and time, like events in a landscape. I wanted to place sonic events in a free, open space. One of the starting points was my fascination with the First World War, that extraordinary trans-cultural madness that arose out of a clash of hubris between empires. It followed immediately after the sinking of the Titanic, which to me is its analogue. The Titanic was the Unsinkable Ship, the apex of human technical power, set to be Man's greatest triumph over nature. The First World War was the war of materiel, "over by Christmas," set to be the triumph of Will and Steel over humanity. The catastrophic failure of each set the stage for a century of dramatic experiments with the relationships between humans and the worlds they make for themselves.   I was thinking of those vast dun Belgian fields where the First World War was agonisingly ground out; and the vast deep ocean where the Titanic sank; and how little difference all that human hope and disappointment made to it. They persist and we pass in a cloud of chatter.

I was a disheartened student at some kind of artsy/preppy private school, and Eno (accompanied by someone else who looked exactly like him circa 1988, presumably for paparazzi-evasion purposes) was doing a tour. I was skipping class and crying alone in a hallway when I somehow got swept into the Eno-tourage (if u will). Also I was dressed like an 18th century shepherdess? (DREAMS, MAN)

Depeche Mode - In Your Room (Brian Eno Apex mix)

but at one point near the start, Eno starts listing various forms “culture” can take, and ends with POODLES, DOODLES, and APPLE STRUDELS
