Inspired loosely on the writing of William Gibson the pioneer of Cyberpunk.

(These are hard times)

Well you know I am talking

(It’s a B movie feature)

I’m talking to you

(There is no time)

I know you can hear me

(To capture it all)

You gave me a clue.

Hard Times [in cyberspace]

This is fiction, these are decisions, this is closed reality
Hiding, sleeping behind masks of solemn perversity
Is there life inside your head?
Is there a book you never read?
Is your literature something you should heed?
(And do you need it?)

This Is Fiction

And there is life and there is death and I am feeling so hard-pressed to understand the meaning of the past and where it fits in with the state of the oppressed we see today.

John Joseph Dolan started playing music at the age of eleven with his first cheap acoustic guitar and the use of a reel to reel tape recorder to capture those early experiments in sound in his home town of Stockport. He is a multi-instrumentalist with guitar being the main instrument. He has collaborated with many other musicians over the years and played with Leeds band Spiderfish until 2007.
