Kirk's history is one of the strangest of all musicians. He fell victim to hospital malpractice at the age of two--"I think a nurse put too much medicine in my eyes, and my mother didn't find out about it until it was too late"--and he has been blind to everything except lights and darks and his own dreams for three decades. But dreams have been enough of an inspiration for this bizarre musician...

In Life Class, he scatters clues with abandon, rather like confetti at a wedding, which often blinds viewers to the event it is intended to celebrate...
