I didn't realise that
Guru Adrian
was American; I thought it was one of those ABC/JJJ yoof-programming things.
(I could have sworn I saw his grinning mug on some ABC yoof publication in
the 80s or early 90s; and given the anti-American streak of the trendy-leftie
set there at that time, I'd have placed him as the creation of a
punk-squatter-turned-graphic-designer in Melbourne or Sydney somewhere, and
not from New York...)
My understanding is that Guru Adrian was created by David Art Wales, the Australia artist who worked for JJJ and later hosted the ABC show "Edge of the Wedge." Apparently he now lives in New York – hence the mix up.
