The latest claim to his identity is from an Eastern European musisian who reckons that this fella is his old band mate, who was skilled in both rock and classical music......

The plot thickens....

One thing's for sure, if he starts a career now he'll be disgustingly rich. People will line up to see the hobo pianist.

Tomas Strnad almost certainly has a manager or publicist, can't they take five minutes, call them up and say, "have you seen or talked to Mr Strnad this month?"

It baffles me that it could take so long to figure out who this guy is NOT... everybody has at least one phone number associated with them, don't they?

On the other hand, I enjoy the mysterious story of a nameless, speechless man in a soaking-wet suit, found on an uninhabited beach... like a J.G. Ballard story...

Toomas · May 2005

He might be pulling off the perfect publicity stunt.

MoP · Jun 2005

Heh, nice idea Toomas ... maybe I'll try that someday.

The plot thickens, however...

Turns out it's not the Czech musician, although he does look eerily similar. Evidence of a cloning experiment gone awry?
