Go-go is so DRUM and Congo BASED. It's almost like music from Africa. The drums like on 'Planet PARADISE' are deeply African-rooted. It's REALLY bouncy and the same SPEED as go-go music. That's an example of the influence go-go had on me.

The only PARADISE is paradise LOST.

On my RETURN to Cornwall I discovered that I was living in a tropical PARADISE. For now I am content to explore my own HOME and our nearest neighbour France.

You will most appreciate 'Freddy and Fredericka' if you are familiar with the story of the Fall, the Good Hermit, 'Tom Jones,' 'Huckleberry Finn,' 'Paradise Lost,' 'Henry V,' and 'My COUSIN Vinny.' That doesn't mean that you can't enjoy or understand it on an EMOTIONAL LEVEL, FREE of all allusion, which is the TEST of any book of fiction.

I don't despise 'Don Quixote,' but it is a BOOK I don't... get. I'll have to COME back it. Maybe there'll be a gateway story that opens it up for me; that HAPPENED for me with 'Paradise Lost' and the 'His DARK Materials' trilogy.
