influenced by Appalachia, Chicago, Japan, India, Fluxus, Surrealism, Cyber-Punk, The Beats, The British Invasion, Jimmy Page....
Thinks it would be a great idea for Jimmy Page, Paul McCartney, John Paul Jones and Ringo Star to form a super group, though, they need an image man, a poet. Who would be more difficult to work with, Bob Dylan or Roy Harper?
