John Lennon said; “I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I've always been a freak. So I've been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I'm one of those people.”

I was born River Prophet Larson to two of those "people". Yeah, the name’s on the birth certificate and yeah, my dad is that Larson. Yup, you got it. My dad is Davey Larson, founder of the late sixties, early seventies arena rock band The Lizards. So before you ask? Yeah I knew Jimmy Page; yeah I grew up with Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck coming over for supper. And yeah, my mom is the former super model, Susannah Roarke. It’s so typical it smacks of sitcom, don’t you think? Yeah, me too.

You know what people do when they get famous and rich? They go vegetarian, start talking about peace and love and name their children things like Asia, God, Dweezil and River Prophet.

I hate sounding like I’m not grateful. My parents are cool enough. They got exponentially cooler after the divorce. I like to think I got the best of both of them but truth is I got all of both of them. The good and the bad, right?

I spent my time between Malibu and a small town in Oregon called Springfield. Mom remarried one of the Merry Pranksters and moved onto a commune in Springfield. Dad remarried a younger version of mom and had four more kids. Kind of makes your teeth hurt just reading about it, doesn’t it?

I had an easy life, as far as lives go. I learned to play guitar and sing, I learned more about macrobiotics than any kid ever wants to know. I went to a private school for rock star’s kids so I didn’t have to be hassled. I messed around with my own band, surfed, did a few bit parts in movies because there’s always that element that wants to cash in on a celebrity kid.

After I turned 18 though, I just wanted to get away from it all. I spent some time under an assumed name and then I realized people don’t really give a fuck if you’re an old rock star’s kid once you aren’t a kid anymore. So getting lost was a lot easier.

I’ve got tons of money from my parents but I don’t need it and I don’t want it. When they put money in my account I give it away to whatever charity I feel like supporting at the time.

A friend told me about a business opportunity here in the City. Seems the owner of the Green Earth needed someone to buy her out. I've done my bit working at co-ops and natural food stores so it sounded like a decent gig. Ended up working out just fine all the way around.

I still like to surf, hike, camp, skate board and generally fuck around. If you ask me who my parents are you might get an honest answer. You might not. Depends on the mood I’m in that day.

And yeah, I’m a vegetarian. I’m no hippy, but some habits die hard, you know?
