Art historians have long puzzled over "Goatee Man". Some scholars claim that same face has appeared in major works by multiple artists from different periods. He appears on Han Dynasty pottery, in the works of Giotto and Van Eyck, famously he is in Leonardo's Last Supper and can be spotted on Michaelangelo's Sistine Chapel, and is visible on one of the Benin bronzes controversially held in the British Museum. He appears as one of the corpses in Gericault's the Raft of the Medusa. Some argue that he is visible in Neolithic cave paintings and in Picasso's Guernica.

There are those who argue that there is no real pattern, but the theory of "Goatee Man" just will not go away.

Unfortunately my record label turn their noses up at proper music and force me to release only what I refer to as 'singy twangy crap'"
