About Me

It's what's not written and the hidden, subtle meanings between the lines and the potent reaction of the reader that makes this band one of the classics of American musicdom, that and The Baghdad Batteries elegant, almost dance-like, symbolic and deep prose; yes, many might react surprisingly at the word "deep" to describe The Batteries, but many simply did not see that- in portraying the shallowness of the characters, the fast-paced 1920's eastern life of the rich and notorious, and the struggles of one man to rise above his past and ancestry and misplacing his meaning in life to one, undeserved woman-a well-hidden depth of meaning and understanding of what mankind should strive for and unfortunately what most miss was clearly pointed out in this band.
