I suppose I've missed the thread on this one by a week or so, but I haven't 
much felt like chipping in. But when Jeremy was on his solo tour and set to 
play a show here, the music section of the morning paper had a half-page 
article on him. It was not an interview, but they did quote him (though where 
from was left to guestimation). The quote was about Jeremy's voice, and he 
was saying how much of a John Lennon fan he was and that sometimes he opted 
to lilt his enunciation toward that of the English. So if anyone thought he 
sounded like he had an accent at times it was purposeful. I was listening to 
that song 'Julia' today, from the Beatles' "white album" and was struck by 
how much it sounds like Jeremy. It doesn't really sound like Jeremy in a 
completely literal sense, but the style is eerily similar.

Not that Jeremy lifted his technigue from John, but he has cited the former 
Beatle as a major influence on his style of singing. Either that or the 
article I read made everything up.

"I drove all the way up from Carpentersville just to see you, and it was 
worth it."
