Biography

THERE WAS A SMALL BALL OF JUICE. COMPOSED OF PROTOZOA, LINT AND GUN POWDER -- ALL THE PLANTS (THAT'S ALL THERE WAS BACK THEN) KNEW THAT THIS WAS NO ORDINARY JUICE ... LOW AND BEHOLD THEY WERE RIGHT! ONE DAY THE BALL WAS ROLLING DOWN THE STREET AND TRIPPED ON A PIECE OF FLINT - WHICH IGNITED A SPARK WHICH EXPLODED THE GUNPOWER AND LIT THE LINT ON FIRE -- AT THAT TIME ALL THE PROTOZOA SCREAMED IN UNISEN - - - SINCE PLANTS DON'T HAVE EARS, NO ONE ON EARTH HEARD THE NOISE --- except for God -- HE HAD BEEN TAKING A NAP AND IT WOKE HIS ASS UP --- HE SAID "whoa what is that glorious sound?" -- IT WAS A LONG, EXTENDED NOTE -- A SINGLE, PURE SOUND --- HE WASTED NO TIME -- HE GATHERED UP THE SOUND INTO A MASON JAR AND CAPPED IT TIGHT! SINCE GOD WAS ALL SLEEPED OUT, HE WAS BORED SO HE DECIDED TO "GET OUT" AND MAKE AND MEET SOME WOMEN, ETC. .... HE HAD PUT THE SOUND ON THE SHELF, AND DISTRACTIONS MADE HIM FUGGEDABOUTIT. GOD MADE MORE AND MORE THINGS - AND DECIDEDLY BECAME MORE AND MORE DISTRACTED AS THINGS BECAME MORE AND MORE COMPLICATED -- HE DIDN'T MEAN IT, BUT WITH THE CREATION OF THE WOMEN HE HAD ALSO CREATED LOVE AND HATE AND BAD JUDGEMENT ... THOUSANDS OF YEARS LATER HE WAS READY TO TAKE ANOTHER NAP --- AS HE SAT DOWN ON A CLOUD, HE LOOKED UP AT HIS BJORN LICHEN (IKEA) SHELF AND SAW the jar containing the sound AND SAID, before I retire I will empty this jar into a single entity so that this world of chaos and anger will be able to hear this just as I did and realize the beauty encased in simplicity of a single perfect note AT THAT HE WAS LIKE BAM!!!! AND HE CRACKED OPEN THE JAR AND PLACED IT INTO THE HEART OF A SKINNY BOY OF 14 WHO WAS FOUND HUMPING A PINE TREE WEARING ONLY HALF A SHIRT AND BUDDY HOLLY GLASSES IN THE WOODS OF RURAL NORTH STAFFORD. THE BOY'S VOICE MAGICALLY EXPLODED INTO THE GLORIOUSLY BEAUTIFUL SCREAM OF THOUSANDS OF BURNING PROTOZOA ... THE WORLD STOPPED. GAVIN SANG. EVERYTHING WAS RIGHT AGAIN. GOD WAS HAPPY. MARCH 8th, 1977 - THE BIRTH OF A STAR -- HE CHANGED HUMANITY WITH A SINGLE NOTE.
