"In his adolescence, during the summer, in a northerly direction parallel to the Earthly axis, he would throw himself naked onto the lawn, and with that loathsome bluey Roman clock-face tattooed about his private parts, think about Jean Harlow very hard, and, from the shadow cast, tell the time with remarkable accuracy."

Cliff's influences Neil Young, Crazy Horse, Love, Billy Bragg, Elvis Costello....and The Bonzo Dog band.

"I was waiting for someone to come along, some young singer 18 to 22 years old, to write these songs and stand up," Young said.
"I waited a long time. Then, I decided that maybe the generation that has to do this is still the '60s generation. We're still here."
(Neil Young - about his Living With War album 2006)
