1. Tell us a bit about yourself.

I am a man for all seasons who has lived a life of exploring these questions: Who am I? Who are you? What is the difference between you and me? Why are we living here on Earth, and where do we go when we die?

I, in physical life looking for those metaphysical answers, have been involved in the worldwide entertainment industries of music, films, TV shows, books, and the theatre of plays and musical performances.

This has been my carpet ride to get the answers for who we humans are, as well as why we are what we are, where we come from, and what's next — as I said.

I have represented musicians from ELO, Leonard Cohen, Peter Gabriel, Genesis, Bobby Brown, Buena Vista Orchestra, Rita Lee, Franco Battiato, Gilberto — just to rattle off a few.

The movies I have been involved with, to name just a few, are Anaconda, Judge Dredd, Street Fighter, Bully, Bird on a Wire.

My goal now is to share my experiences and learnings, to share with all how we can build a world of humans where love is the dream and the answer, not hate because someone is not like you, for whatever reason you conjure, nor fears of the unknown.

This book shares with all who made up the rules. Who are the "they"? And how did they pull this off in our matrix we call Earth?

2. Who has had the biggest influence on you?

The biggest influence on me: the many people I have encountered and engaged with over my 72 years. It is hard to pick one. I love those who were brave enough to follow their quest and make it a lifetime path to achieve their impossible dream.

Everyone I shared breath with is part of my experience, no matter what, in my quest on this planet Earth.

3. Let's talk about your book I Can Hear Music.

This book contains my discoveries as to why we do the things we do. I studied my life and the people who came into my life around the world. I discover how cultures are created and how rules on how we should live and the birth of all sky god[s] and voices we hear in our heads begin, and why it just does not stop. You will discover answers or possibilities you have been searching for probably your whole life.

This book is the culmination of all the books that I have written before.

And it is music. Music is my life, and my currency is contact with people.

4. How much research did you do for the book?

My whole life, I have searched for these answers.

5. What was the most difficult part of writing it? What was most rewarding?

I just had to examine my life and not be afraid of what people may say. This is my metaphysical truth — of what I did and why I did it, and how I came up with this conclusion. The most rewarding gift I have received is watching people sift through my energies in words, both oral and written, and hear the sounds of their thoughts as they hum along in their minds the doors of perception they see, as they figure out on a higher level what I am saying.

6. Who is the ideal reader for the book?

Anyone who is curious and open to escaping the patterns that societies place on their awareness of why things are the way they are.

7. Was there a message you wanted to convey?

We can live in a world of love. Just shut down the voices who make you do the things you know are wrong for you, your family, your community, and for planet Earth. This Earth can be a heaven, and here is how we can make that heaven reappear is the message contained in this book. It is a new way to see and live with beings here on Earth.

8. What's next for you?

Just produce more music and films and visit more places on Earth before I get released from this body and fly away as a butterfly into the ether.

I like to end with lighter questions.

9. What's your favorite book?

There is no one favorite. I like people who write and share their truths without repercussions of upsetting the gatekeepers of their lives.

10. If you were stranded on a desert island and could take three things, what would you take?

Me, my wife, and my zeal for life. If you have a reason to live on and not die, my friends, you are a lucky being.

11. What's your writing environment like?

I find the perfect spot I need to be able to communicate with the energies whom I fight as I write and edit what I hear, so I can, with clear vision, present the future as I see it in the here and now.

12. What's your least favorite chore?

Listening to the corporate media and following the brainwashing going on so you submit and become a puppet to the system that takes your life and uses you to fulfill their dreams at your expense.
