SPB: Besides music, what other arts interest or inspire you?

Jon: I'm up to my earholes in music, art, politics, poetry & history most of the time and find it rich & fruitful to be part of a conversation where all these elements rut for my attention. A radio play by Dylan Thomas, Newport County outplaying high-flying Tottenham in the FA Cup, racoon prints in the snow, former imperial powers flushing themselves down the toilet, Samuel Beckett driving Andre the Giant to school, chive pancakes, Breughel's Tower of Babel, not watching the Grammy's - It's all inspiring and it’s all in the front of my head right now...
