He was talking to someone else and I was just interested in the books he was
referring to. Books exposing religion interest me and I got the impression those were the type
of books he was talking about. |

HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, it certainly is more than I can understand but that's really nothing new. I am rather "shallow" in many areas!

His love and respect for all living beings, combined with his powerful intellect, have made a deep impression on me.

For six years I was vice-chairman and international secretary of the Danish Vegetarian Society. During that time I wrote a series of articles (in Danish) under the headline "Gandhi and vegetarianism". I consider that one of the best things I'v done, and a tribute to one of my heroes.

I'm into singing and use a heavy rasp like Axl Rose & Billy Idol back in 1991, as well as raspy high pitch screams like Rob Halford on Painkiller song (If someone can send me an instrumental of Painkiller I will prove it) and I found my singing style, as well as intrigue in the devil as a Rock N' Roll icon suitable to call myself Screamin' Demon. The original idea for the name came from this monster truck.....
