They wanted to produce this strange music.
There seemed to be a lack of focus in the group when I was working with them. While they must have had some commercial influences on their first album, it was one of the strangest projects I’ve been involved in.Įssentially the core of the band was two pairs of brothers – the Maels and Mankeys – and another guy. I’m not even sure he knew about it.Īt the time I worked with them they were this weird band from LA who were called Halfnelson. I never had any contact with him and I don’t believe that there’s any evidence that the little spat me and John had any effect on Mark Chapman at all. Anything that happened at that time John attributed down to some infantile issues.Īpparently after he was assassinated the police found of copy of one of my albums in the hotel Mark Chapman was staying at. His take on it – as his take was on just about everything in those days because he and Yoko were involved in this primal scream therapy which had gotten into his music – was that he attributed my commentary down to some issues I might be having with my father. So this started a whole faux conflict between us. My opinion at the time was that if you’re going to encourage people to change the world you have to have a certain amount of personal credibility, and if you start going backwards and abusing women when ostensibly you are supposed to be a feminist, it’s time to either be just what you are or drop the revolutionary shtick and clean up your act.
