My background is in history. I suppose I went into the subject looking for answers and solutions originally. Gradually, during the course of study the idealism became a means to obtain money.

With history there are two routes to go - teaching or law after the first four years. Now I write, I don't really give a shit about money. By all rights the truth seekers should be the most rewarded in a sick society, but maybe that's why the society is demented. So it is as it is.

The exterior manifestations of my inner struggle led to trouble with local authorities. I have a sneaking suspicion the corruption permeates down to the lowest levels where friends become rats if you look in certain slant of light. Part was my own attitude also, which hasn't changed much.

What I have become aware of is the knowledge that One is represented here in the form of a plant, a reap what you sow sort of thing that affects each and every one of our lives. Cannabis Hemp is simply the best natural resource on the planet. There is no arguement that can contradict the circle it represents. From this solid foundation it is easy to write some of the most stimulating lines of this age. We are on brink of a renaissance or revolution unparalleled in human history.

A few bands/artists who have read my stuff and expressed their thoughts on it artistically are:
REM - "Lotus"
Alanis Morrisette - "Uninvited"
Black Crowes - "Only a Fool"
Tragically Hip - "Phantom Power"
Santana - "Smooth",
Leona Ness- "Charmed"
Fiona Apple - "Hurry"(?)
Joan Osborne - "Baby Love"
Warren Zevon - I forget the song's name
U2 - All That You Can't Leave Behind CD, "Elevation" in particular.

These are a few off the top of my head. I've been sending copies of my stuff around for a few years now and it seems artists have been sharing it.
