Here is the “calls from the hall” segment of the September 20, 1987 Radio KAOS concert. This Q&A segment took place during the intermission with Roger Waters. Because of my question for Waters, I was the first caller to be picked. I was told that I would be caller #2.

I stood there watching while the guy screening people to talk with Waters. Informed the next person, that if he wanted to talk with Waters. He would have to ask the questions the screener gave him. He agreed to the terms and became caller #1.

I asked Waters if the man he is singing about in the song "5:01 am (the pros & cons of hitch hiking)." Is he the same man that the songs "Two Suns in the Sunset" and "Not Now John" are written about his (my) poster?

I could sense Waters was trying not to answer my question. That is when I reminded Waters that my first name is hidden within the song "Not Now John." Waters finally answered, "I think the answer to that is, yes." That’s right; Waters acknowledge that those three songs were about me and my poster.

The audience had never heard who, and what these songs were really written about, they were confused. The audience needed time to absorb this new information. Jim Ladd needed to throw chaos into the situation.

The last thing Waters needed was for the truth behind these songs to come out. Jim Ladd jumped in and insinuates that I was on acid. Referring to an announcement made in 1969, during the Woodstock festival. Instead of the audience asking who is this guy? Ladd got the audience to dismiss my Q& A with Waters, as LSD nonsense.

The following is the definition of the common logical fallacy that Jim Ladd used against me.

Argumentum ad Hominem is literally "argument directed at the man".

The Abusive variety of Argumentum ad Hominem occurs when, instead of trying to disprove the truth of an assertion, the arguer attacks the person or people making the assertion. This is invalid because the truth of an assertion does not depend upon the goodness of those asserting it.

Here is the link to the definition above: www.virtualschool.edu/mon/SocialConstruction/Logic.html

Now ask yourself, why would Jim Ladd want to conceal the truth about these songs?

In 1987 Waters was still involved in a lawsuit with David Gilmour, over the name Pink Floyd. It wasn’t in Waters best interest, for the public to know how big a role I played in the creation of his songs. I cite Waters answer to caller #1’s first question, in order to backup my statement.

Waters answer to my question, contradicted press releases about those songs. I was uncovering the truth publicly. I was revealing facts that could have been used to hurt Waters, during the lawsuit with Gilmour. That is the reason why, Jim Ladd slandered me.

The Sherlock Holmes movie Dressed To Kill, was just one of the movies that inspired me in my youth. I drew on that inspiration when I started putting together this musical mystery.

Pete Townshend placed references to the movie Dressed To Kill into The WHO song "Trilby's Piano."

Here is a list of the soundclips used in this podcast. I hope that this list will make it easier for you to understand this mystery and track down the songs that the clues can be found on for yourself.

1. The Sherlock Holmes movie Dressed To Kill
2. Trilby's Piano – The WHO
3. The Sherlock Holmes movie Dressed To Kill
4. Trilby's Piano – The WHO
5. Tea & Theatre – The WHO
6. The Sherlock Holmes movie Dressed To Kill
7. Not Now John – Pink Floyd
8. Spies Like Us – Paul McCartney
9. Trilby's Piano – The WHO
10. Tea & Theatre – The WHO
11. It’s Your Turn – The WHO
12. Tea & Theatre – The WHO
13. It’s Your Turn – The WHO

Here are some very brief descriptions for the above songs.

1. Dressed To Kill partial soundtrack – Listen for “sold to the lady from Twickenham … I met Pete Townshend in 1983 at his studio in Twickenham. This Sherlock Holmes movie is based on a musical mystery using notes to convey a secret message. My mystery all so uses music to convey messages. In my mystery however the messages are conveyed in the words in a number of songs.

2. Hamid is the driver and murderer, in the Sherlock Holmes movie. Pete Townshend sings the name Hamid in the song “Trilby’s Piano” by The WHO.

3. In Pink Floyd’s song “Not Now John” you can here my first name and John Lennon’s name being yelled out like this Kerry – John it’s me Kerry – John Lennon.

4. Some of the best mysteries have spies in them. I refer to the entertainers involved in my mystery as corporate spies. "Spies Like Us"

5. The last part is a mix between the songs “Tea and Theatre” and “It’s Your Turn.” You will hear the connection between the two songs when you hear the keyword “Shoulder” being used.

6. In the song “It’s Your Turn” Roger Daltrey sings “same song different page.” This is a reference to the letter I originally sent Yoko Ono to start this mystery. The very same letter that Townshend writes about in his psychoderelict CD. Listening to the song you will hear the correspondence between me and Townshend.

I hope you find both podcasts interesting in a mysterious and enjoyably fun fashion.

If you liked the Beatles "Paul is Dead" story. Then you will enjoy this musical mystery.

This mystery is bigger than the "Paul is Dead" story with more musicians taking part in the fun.

Athena the Interactive Musical Mystery was started in 1981 and has continued to grow over the years.

This portion of the mystery is just the tip of the iceberg.

I am the "English Boy" that Pete Townshend sings about on his psychoderelict CD. The songs on this podcast are about either me, or my poster "Athena." But some of the songs are about both me and my poster.

Except for the song "Fire" & the “Saturday Night Live skit.”

Although the song ” Fire” was written before this mystery ever started. The lyrics of the song fit how it might feel if a nuclear bomb, like the one on my poster were to explode within blocks of where you are right now.

The “Saturday Night Live skit” with Paul McCartney and Chris Farley is a part of this podcast because the “Paul is Dead” story of the Beatles played a major role in starting this musical mystery.
