Who lets the weird kids, whose parents wouldn't allow a TV in the house, write entertainment news?

They have all only seen 10 films and The Wire.

Indeed, he was a member of Aphrodite's Child, and one of his first groups, Forminx, was also very popular during the 60s, and also collaborated with Jon Anderson, among many other things.
