Artur Dyjecinski
(http://www.arturdyjecinski.com & www.myspace.com/arturdyjecinski) Remember as a kid traveling through leafy Birchwood forests in the mountains of British Columbia. Remember sitting in the back of your parents faded mustard Ford Pinto, your ears filling with the sweet sounds of early Neil Young. Remember driving with the windows down, the play of cool mountain air against your face and the pleasant smell of foliage coming alive in the Spring.

Billy Boy On Poison
BILLY BOY ON POISON
"Oh you pretty things/Don’t you know you’re driving your mamas and papas insane?" – David Bowie, Hunky Dory, 1971
If you ask Davis – charismatic lead singer and principal troublemaker of Billy Boy on Poison – the question postulated by his inspirational rock hero-- he’d answer with a resounding, “Fuck yeah!” Bowie never gave two quid what people thought. He moved the culture with his celestial songs and repeatedly freaked out the rank and file with his courageous, chameleon sense of fashion and image.
