It's no straightforward collection, however. Part I of the book is technically a memoir, where Bid recalls his childhood experience in India and the Himalayas via his adventures in the music business, to the near-fatal aneurysm that physically rearranged his brain in 2010. Part II is a helpful compendium of some of the most fundamentally misheard lyrics in pop, from 'He's Frank', 'Jet Set Junta' and “'he Lighter Side of Dating' all the way to 'The Ruling Class”'. Most fundamentally Strange Young Alien is a book about the human brain and its inhabitation by 'the Creature”' as Bid likes to call his artistic other self that was revealed to him after his stroke.
