MY MUSIC INFLUENCES: The Bowie / Ronson combo, Jim Marshall, Les Paul (thanks Les) Alan Holdsworth (HOW???), Queen, Rolling Stones, Japan, Aerosmith, Van Halen, UFO, David Lee Roth, Steve Vai, Joni Mitchell, Tom Petty, Coldplay, The Police, Porno For Pyros, Jane's Addiction, Nirvana, John Lennon, Bono, The Who, Phil Collen and Steve Clarke, The Sex Pistols, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, John Taylor, Simon Laffy, Glenn Gillard, Johnny Cash and a million others...
Other LIFE influences are my family and friends, nurses, doctors, dentists, police, firemen / women, rescue workers and people who do our necessary. His Holiness The Dalai Lama, Aung San Suu Kyi, Mohammed Ali, JFK, Oskar Schindler. ART: Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh, Seurat and most impressionists, Warhol, Francis Bacon, Lichtenstein, Sir Peter Blake, Allen Jones, Dali, Damien Hirst, Banksy all the rule breakers and of course the old geezers with the real juice...Rembrandt..and Leonardo da Vinci.
CREATIVE BUSINESS: Bill & Melinda Gates / The Gates Foundation & Warren Buffett ($70 BILLION to charity to date)....Alexander Mc Queen, Anita Roddick (RIP), Paul Newman & Joanne Woodward, Robert Redford, Richard Branson, Stephen Spielberg, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Anthony Hopkins, Leonardo Decaprio, Johnny Depp, Francis Ford Coppola, David Lean, Craig Emanuel (Leob & Leob LA) Milton Marks, Doris Tyler (my lifelong best friend) and many others.
I'd like to thank ALL the people that can be kind and considerate above the usual requirements of a civilised human being..people who think of others first, who don't shout with nothing to say and who can offer something to the world without demanding or expecting a return. People who create rather than consume, who are selfless and caring, who give something rather than pollute. Try to give a little however small, some joy, a song, some meaningful words, some money if you have some, some comfort to someone who needs it...a smile of affection where it will mean something...a random act of kindness as often as you remember....but do SOMETHING...any positivity helps out weigh the crap we all deal with daily on this fragile planet. We are all brilliant and flawed in a million ways, we are just humans, but use that little difference we all have; your concience. I thank God for being. (human).
