I can't stop laughing... at first I honestly thought this was all serious (wondered why the fore-warning leading to the page)-and then burst out laughing at the baby picture!
Let's just hope Jon has a good sense of humor should he read it!![]()
~~like the time I ran away, and turned around and you were standing close to me~~
Cargo of diamonds as you are: nothing more valuable, nothing more tough.
She's an equal opportunity offender, a societal wildcard. You can't control her, only hope to contain her, even then she refuses to be possessed. If she were a coin, you would spend her, unwillingly. If she were an animal, you'd free her to the wilderness.
'Anderson is also responsible for most of the mystically-themed lyrics and concepts which are part of many Yes releases. These elements are crucial components of the classic Yes sound, but have occasionally alienated some members of the band (most notably Bill Bruford, Rick Wakeman, Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Alan White, Tony Kaye, Peter Banks, Trevor Rabin, Billy Sherwood, Igor Khoroshev, Trevor Horn, Geoff Downes, Patrick Moraz, and Jon Anderson), contributing to their leaving the group. His influences include Siddhartha, Aretha Franklin, Duffy and Yoda.
Recurring lyrical themes include gentle mass touching, tormatoes, mutant enemies, and craving penetrations.
Family
Jon is the son of popular fast-food promoter Ronald McDonald and model Pamela Anderson. Other famous members of his family include panel-show veteran Clive Anderson, ABBA musician and prominent “B” Benny Andersson.'
