Most of the smart people I know want nothing to do with politics. We avoid it appreciate the plague—like Edge avoids it, in fact. Is this because we touch that politics isn't where anything significant happens?

According to the BBC World Service program, Musicworks (12 January 1994), he used to possess one at his dwelling, located off to the side of his kitchen.

We had a meal one night and I promised to attend him in the studio next day and receive a photo. I couldn't believe where I found him.

Baby Eno was described as "bald and grumpy". No change there then. No, no, of course not. We have no idea.
Q. Is he religious, as he was brought up Catholic?
Nope, he's called himself "kind of an evangelical atheist", though he's not the sort of evangelist who insists on talking about it whether you wish to or not. That upbringing is bound to have a lasting effect; some religious imagery made it into his first songs, and his installations often have a secular contemplative church-like atmosphere.
Q. Where is Eno's studio located?
For many years, he has owned a building in London that houses his studio space and office, which frequently appears in photograph
