Cover art for Patience and Prudence lyrics by Hot Cross

Billy seems to be big into Salman Rushdie. This is an exerpt from his book, Midnight's Children, "Who what am I? My answer: I am the sum total of everything that went before me, of all I have have been seen done, of everything done-to-me. I am everyone, everything whose being-in-the-world affected was affected by mine. I am anything that happens after I've gone which would not have happened if I had not come. Nor am I particularly exceptional in this matter; each "I", every one of the now-six-million-plus of us, contains a similar multitude. I repeat for the last time: to understand me, you'll have to swallow a world." Last line look familiar?
