The frontman of the Eels (Mark Oliver Everett or E for short), was questioned by the London Police last Monday in Hyde Park, after he was mistaken for a suspicious guy whom he was fitting the description! Apparently the heavily bearded terrorist look Mark exhibits right now is not that recommended these days.
However, he was not arrested and the police did not bother him anymore once his real identity was confirmed. While returning to his press duties for the promotion of his new album ‘Tomorrow Morning’, he declared ‘Not every guy with short hair and a long beard is a terrorist. Some of us just want to rock.
I wonder whether he will write a song about the incident, what about ‘You lucky day in Jail’, since he has already written a ‘It’s a motherfucker’ song.
