Just curious if afx's use of bears in his stage act is in reference to 
Charlemagne Palestine and his "use" of stuffed animals in his 
performances.  I think afx maybe influenced by Charlemagne Palestine's 
music too, but i got to thinking a few weeks ago as i read the liner 
notes to strumming music: "Several red lights illuminated the 
Bosendorfer piano, adorned with the teddy bears, monkeys and cognac 
bottles, which has become Charlemagne trademark.  (Solo performace is a 
lonely experience; the extreme highs and fears can be fully appreciated 
only by oneself and private comfort can come from many sources.)"  I 
know this is a little strange, but does anyone care to comment about the 
Charlemagne similarities?  love,
warrenshadey
