What was the best part of being a member of the Information Society?
best of being a member of Information Society was hearing that we used to have in New York and Miami after he "Running" became a hit in clubs. We were very poor then and we shared rooms in the hotels. Sometimes we four were in one room ... Agendabamos
shows on weekends and played out of our hometown, Minneapolis. The audience was surprisingly enthusiastic and was very funny.
recorded some poems of William Blake. What do you read often? Leo
mostly novels and booksyears in music, but I'm a fan of a certain poetry and especially William Blake. He became interested in poetry when he read the poems of Allen Ginzberg. He talks a lot about Blake because he was his muse and inspiration. I am currently working on a new CD with Richard Butler reciting TS Eliot's poetry to music.
What has been your taste, the best band you've played?
I rocado with many bands and loved them all for different reasons ... some musical, others personal, and some because they had lots of fun ...
I like playing music with other people and share that experience.
