I Have All The Sky Saxon Solo Albums On Tape

Sky Saxon (you’ll be surprised to learn that wasn’t his real name) was a strange fellow. He started off relatively normal, in the 1960s with his garage band The Seeds releasing songs like “Pushin’ Too Hard“.

However later on he became increasingly eccentric, releasing solo albums on battered old tapes to diminishing but cultish returns. A fact parodied in the Pooh Sticks‘* tribute to indie trainspotter-ish record collectors On Tape:

I’ve got Falling and Laughing – the original Postcard version
I’ve got all the Sky Saxon solo albums on tape!

But I digress. My original point was this: in his wilderness years Sky joined a somewhat eccentric religious movement and started to make odd pronouncements.

Supposedly he claimed he had invented the term “flower power”, when it is obviously a slogan of the Bavarian Illuminati.

In a similar vein, Alcuin of York could lay claim to having invented another 60s garage rocker.

My question is this: what would you claim, possible to a somewhat credulous person, that you had invented?

I’m currently pretending I invented Tab Clear and half-day closing on Wednesday.

* Kind of The Archies to the Jesus and Mary Chain’s Velvet Underground. Not to be confused with the game.
