This acrosstic is inspired by music that has had a sincere impact on my life ever since it came to my attention when a medic in the hospital handed me a CD to listen to. Oddly enough it did not catch at that time, but next time when a fellow traveller on the train brought me a CD full of rock music, Ayreon was again on it. That did click, and even though the other bands on it became memories, Arjen Anthony Lucassen turned out to be a highly synchronistic phenomenon for me. Nowadays, I own every album he ever made, including "Arjen Anthony Lucassen's Strange Hobby".
And even that is strangely synchronistic given my strange hobby, the making of acrosstics! And Arjen is a very nice guy, who actually answers E-mails sent to him. Oddly enough, I think I even inspired him at some point, because at some point he made a solo album, that I just had to buy of course: "Lost in the New Real" reminded me of my novel "Make IT Real" by the title alone, and when I got it he had signed it specifically mentioning my name. When I listened to it, I noitced why: the tracks hold so many clues and references to stuff mentioned in my novel, that I was pretty sure he had been reading it. Of course my novel was public domain, and even if not, I was pretty amazed by what he made it into! Arjen, YOU ROCK!!!
