Salvador Dali used to say the same thing about a twin brother. He was also one for self-reinvention. Dali's "autobiography" is full of lies and misinformation - all in the name of audience manipulation and good fun, of course. I think that it (AT) probably has more to do with a piece of gear called the "Aphex Aural Exciter" and the fact that he (RDJ) originally worked with a (twin) partner... who knows? Maybe he's telling the truth - after all, he was quite forthright about the milkman's wife, no?
quoted 1 line good interview as well, about two pages long....> good interview as well, about two pages long....
