Raised by a pack of dingo's (wild dogs) in the centre of australia he was plucked from the security and comfort by Jehovas Witnesses missionaries and placed into the confusing world of Adelaide and it's many sectarian churches. Forced by the Witnesses, or JW's as they like to be called, to wear inappropriate clothing by anyones standards, his life became a hellish nightmare of bible studies and church going. Adelaiade, the world capital of the bizaar sex crime, was a place so strange and dangerous for a naive boy from the desert that his life was under continual threat. It was only his keen sense of smell, developed among the dingo's, and his rather disturbing habit of "cleaning himself" at any opportune moment that kept him alive. At this time he discovered the guitar through the seductive influence of one "Jimi Hendrix", soon there after 'If 6 were 9' became his theme and he was often heard humming the complex psychedelic orchestrations of The Experience. After many years of toil in the backwater that is Adelaide, he finally had the opportunity of escape. An offer from a lost brother, recently discovered, to visit him in a far off magical city called Paris, there the brother would find him a place of refuge from the ever aggresive missionaries. A place to roam the streets, much as he had roamed the desert when he was a young boy, a place where he was free to "clean himself" at any time and no-one would even think twice. So with guitar in hand he fled to a land of cheap wine and cheese, to discover what miniscule talent he may have. Paris proved to be a city of fellow sufferers, also looking for something to ease the pain, who were often found in the many small bars that are littered like service stations for the soul across the city of lights. In one such bar he met a mystical figure from the planet called 'The USA'. This was a distant, isolated planet, aggresive in its repression of its people through a tool known only as Cable. The people of this planet openly welcomed this 'thing' into their homes and would spend hours watching and believing. Alas, he escaped, found his way to Paris, a place where you can still enjoy a beer and a smoke at the same time and indoors none the less. Forming a wild group with this figure called the "Joey John Group", they would play loud and constantly, insulting anyone who dared to approach. This went on for many years, 4 in fact, until the pressure of being on the run from the viscious JW's caused him to leave and retreat to the security of his homeland, Australia. Today he can be seen roaming the streets of Melbourne, often with a guitar, and quite often "cleaning himself' at inappropriate moments..................................................... ............I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
