"Here is why I did the Ravens. I did a raven mask as it reminded me of my visit to London in 1997. I went to the Tower of London and there were Ravens. They told me that they get fed raw meat, so thats what the red eyes represent." -added DrilOne.

""Dead Hippie: Dan Graham has said that youth culture (in this case hippies) believed that one would symbolically die at age 30 or when they entered the adult world. Hippies would would do drugs and enter into trances through music to get closer to (and disrupt) this kind of symbolic death.”"-says Partick.
