We are all the same - We want - We need - We feel misunderstood. We are all pretty much the same. So there is no real need to get too detailed on the "me" part.

The name "Thelonious Gonzo" I will explain for you however, since you took the time to dig a bit deeper and I offered you nothing but a trail of bread crumbs to help you find your way back.

The name is a combination of one of my favorite musical influences and one of my favorite literary influences.

The Thelonious part should be obvious. Thelonious Monk. For my money he was simply the best. "Straight, No Chaser", "'Round Midnight", "Ruby My Dear", "Epistrophy", "Well, you needn't" - Amazing.

The Gonzo part has to do with the father of Gonzo journalism, Hunter S. Thompson. I can't even get into why I am drawn to his writing like a fly to the flame because it's too personal. But I am.

So there you have it. The reason for my Flickr account name.
