He once did a hour-long or so feature on his experience of being a punk (and in a punk band). He explained that finding punk was like finding a home among the disposed and awkward, and described how he would get lost in his own world marvelling over his collection of punk records in their sleeves, the nme/musical express rags and other memorabilia, cocooned from the outside world.
As someone the same age and who grew up as a loner and into punk, I watched transfixed, with eyes wide open - he could have been describing me, if it weren't for the fact that in his intelligence and creativity he decided to start his own punk band. He's also preserved his records and their sleeves in mint condition
I connect with, and love, everything he does.
