How interesting. It really is just like the movie, Shine.

I would have linked if I'd realised it was on BBC news...however, I found the report on what the Staffies would call a 'competitors site' and hence couldn't link to it. Hadn't realised they'd copied it word for word from the BBC though...

The next Messiah will be a lesbian black woman. Well, in my world it would be.
The international language is love, so I'm guessing the new Jesus would be quite well-hung.
Maybe he's Jesus, come to heal the world with the universal language of music

It'll turn out to be a publicity stunt, or performance art, the the World will make a collective "sigh".
Oh and steering back to the topic, no I don't know him.
Fugue:
Music. An imitative polyphonic composition in which a theme or themes are stated successively in all of the voices of the contrapuntal structure.
Psychiatry. A pathological amnesiac condition during which one is apparently conscious of one's actions but has no recollection of them after returning to a normal state. This condition, usually resulting from severe mental stress, may persist for as long as several months.
Spooky, no?
The missing labels thing is classic covert spy technique, sort of thing they used to do in the war so that if they got arrested in Berlin they wouldn't be identified and shot as a British spy when it was discovered they were wearing Marks and Spencer underwear. (Or shot for wearing Marks and Spencer underwear, for that matter).
Obviously this is a genuine case, because clearly if anyone were to fake something such as this they'd choose somewhere a bit more exotic to get found than Sheerness, Kent.

"A Polish man in Rome has identified the "Piano Man" as a French street musician called Steven Villa Masson.
The mystery man, who has been unable to communicate with police or carers, was found wandering the streets in Sheerness, Kent, in a soaking wet suit.
He stunned carers by drawing detailed pictures of a grand piano and giving a virtuoso classical piano performance.
Italian police said the Polish man, a street mime artist, said he had worked with the "Piano Man" in Nice.
The Pole, a 33-year-old immigrant, approached officers at the Trevi Fountain, after seeing a photograph of the "Piano Man" in a newspaper.
The pianist's social worker Michael Camp, said: "It is a possibility and we will follow it up.
"Until we get some really firm evidence where somebody can show us a picture of him or anything concrete then it is a possibility and nothing more."
West Kent NHS and Social Care Trust said the lead would be checked out along with the other 500 calls it had received.
The man has not said a word since police picked him up on 7 April.
Mr Camp said earlier: "A lot of the calls are people suggesting what they think might be happening to him which is not really what we're looking for.
"We haven't got any definite leads... we need to sift through the information."
He said one lead that the man might be from Sussex had been investigated and discounted.
"I have followed that up and it is a definite no no.
"The person, at the time they phoned in, only had a verbal description from the radio. Once they saw a photo, that wasn't the person," he said.
The mystery man produced a pencil drawing of a piano
Mr Camp said the man, in his 20s or 30s, is usually very anxious but "comes alive" at the piano.
The NHS Trust said it welcomed the overwhelming public response.
"Mr X continues to be cared for by the trust and there has been no change in his condition," a spokesman said on Tuesday.
Mr Camp had earlier said it was possible the man's identity may never be known.
"If nobody can name this guy then I don't see how we can possibly find out.
"The only other way is if we get expert people working with him who are able to use his music and get his identity."
Orchestras around Europe are being contacted to see if they know the man.
His talent came to light after staff at the Medway Maritime Hospital gave him a pen and paper in the hope he would write his name. Instead he drew a piano.
The man shocked staff with a performance of classical music after Mr Camp showed him the piano in the hospital's chapel.
Mr Camp said: "When we took him to the chapel piano it really was amazing."
The man has since written music, which has been verified as genuine.
Several lines of inquiry have been followed, and the hospital brought in interpreters to see if the mystery patient was from Eastern Europe.
