I C&P part of his Linkin below. IF he is just a fan, he seems to have set up a rather elaborate plan on the web. Also shows his web site, which I have not seen yet. He "feels" the most real to me thus far as he doesn't seem to have anything to gain and he doesn't come across as a zealot for either side of things.

Before I worked behind the scenes I started out as a singer. I hated it but am grateful for the experience, because it helps me teach artists how to to prevent problems no one would believe even exist unless they'd been there!
