This is basically what I exist for. I'm too old to be the next Allan Ginsberg or William S. Burroughs, but I want to be the guy who influences the next Allan Ginsburg or William S. Burroughs and to be so remembered by proxy.
One aesthetic influence on my thinking is the industrial rock scene of the last Third Turning, whether relatively more underground acts like Godflesh and Swans or mainstream acts like Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson. I feel like those people had Something Important To Say, but the time for it isn't yet. I'd like to be a medium, a conduit to transmit that thinking to the cutting-edge of the next Artists, who in turn pass it on to the Neo-Prophets.
