Yes, indeed. Welcome to the officiously authorative bootleg solipsism of Simon Higgs within MySpace's melee of mirth, mayhem and madness. You are here. Get over it.
But wait... there's more...
Background:
Simon Higgs started out life like everyone else, at the ripe old age of minus 0.75 years, in England. He almost escaped becoming educated at the Judd School, Tonbridge, England, after which he completed a telecommunications apprenticeship with British Telecom. To resolve this academic dilemma he played guitar in some very loud rock bands at night to the bemusement of most of southern England.
In 1989, he moved to Hollywood, California and soon graduated from the Guitar Institue Of Technology after a year of intense study of how to make an electric guitar go "widdly-widdly-widdly-whoo-whoo-whoo". As a result, he was immediately hired by Gibson Guitars to work in their west coast Artist Relations office where he observed the construction of some very cool guitars .
He has played in a multitude of Hollywood's unsigned "next big thing" bands, and equated the experience to that of getting stuck in a revolving door.
In 1993, several major music industry magazines published his groundbreaking articles on copyright and music downloading and, while he was taking a nap, the internet was uploaded, downloaded, bent, folded, spindled and mutilated - two or three times at least.
He has been a perpetual explorer of the Information Superhighway. Several small start-up companies like Viacom have already utilized his services in their interactive TV experiments. MIT Press included him in a book about Internet Governance , noting that he was in the way.
He has been an audio and/or video editor in numerous projects including Charlton Heston's Voyage Through The Bible CD-ROM. He has also produced a number of parking ticket-winning projects and now needs to take off his shoes and socks to count them all.
In 2006, along with several billion other people, he became Time magazine's Person of the Year. This was apparently the result of a typo caused by several billion monkeys simultaneously attempting to recreate the works of William Shakespeare on something called "the Internet".
His first book, The Guide To Selling Your Music In The iTunes Music Store , is the definitive guide to selling your music in the iTunes Music Store and earning income from music downloads.
Postscript:
Reality, sometimes behaving like an unwanted nuisance, is often ignored by Simon Higgs. This enables him to get on with life in general without too much of a distraction, and as a result he can achieve several impossible things before breakfast. However, he rarely gets to enjoy his breakfast since it is usually cold by the time he gets around to eating it. This, once again, is something else he is forced to ignore.
Simon Higgs does not have a sense of humour as "it would be quite awkward to carry one around. Besides, I haven't found a lemon flavoured one yet."
He lived for a while in the Northridge earthquake rubble, but decided to move after the grass got too tall in his living room. Now he lives in a small house in the mountains above Los Angeles with a wife , daughter, two dogs, a cat (Mr Fish had to go) and an assorted collection of musical and internet hardware.
Warning! You have now reached the end of the bio. You may now click on something or someone profound and be on your way... hey how about getting more of Simon's music from the iTunes Music Store ?
