All
of this is good advice. Some received more attention than others.
It's amazes me how deeply these statements affect me to this
day. I really don't understand if they have anything to do with
the fact that I need violence in my life to make me feel good
about myself. She was the last one...I promise. I will never
kill a girl again.
Maybe
I should tell you a bit about myself. I can't stand to be alone.
I'm poor. I love powerboating, roller-skating and going on rodent
safaris in west Texas (that's where I met Bob). I'm obsessed
with women who smile and say nice things to me. I'm terrified
of law enforcement agents (and the women that control them).
I have never seen a ghost or an alien. I invest all of my free
time in my grave digging business called Earth Exitus (I catapult
corpses into space for a sizable fee). On a typical day I wake
up, invent important marketable products, watch the news, eject
a couple of bodies, make love to myself and go back to bed.Ó
At
the age of eighteen, Dillon landed his first gig as a roadie
for Herbie Hancock, Dillon hit the road for six tours ranging
from four to twelve weeks long and spanning five continents.
His superior knowledge of music instruments landed him his second
job as the guitar technician for rock legend., Yngve Malmstein.
While on a European tour with Malmstein, Dillon became involved
with the European electronic music movement of the mid nineties
and was hailed a champion of the French electronica scene. Dillon
met Bob Ray at a late night hunting trip following a Herbie
Hancock show in El Paso in 1989. Dillon relocated to Austin
where he met Kurtis D. Machler, Ted Jarrell and Jerry Clark.
Dillon has been a creative force in the Austin music scene as
well as a frequent collaborator on film and music ventures with
Bob.
