hello readers.
hello readers.
2.i know everything about your life through internet and the film DIG.
is this wrong for someone who wants to find out about you and your musical personality?
you are asking the wrong person being that i have zero experience in trying learn about me and my own life in this sense...it's also strange for me to think about people in depth in the way your question suggests as i can not recall very many people in my own life who have motivated me to research to any great degree by name.

5.In the film DIG you never
talk about rolling stones,brian jones or any other band in general,how's
that since everyone (,counting and me) have the belief that your
biggest influence in music were the early stones and the velvet
underground?
people like you and i,we have zero control over what is said by directors and film makers on our behalf through editing to make points that are not our own.

songs in the 90's,did you ever took back the gift?
