re:triffid
The book states from former bandmember John Schollar of the
Beachcombers: 'None of which Keith ever had any money on him. His
carefree attitude towards finance had a certain idiot savant charm. "He
bought this model of a Triffid, because of the film The Day of the
Triffids," recalls John Schollar. "'What do you want that for?' I asked.
'It seemed like a good idea,' he replied. 'I'll put it on the drums.'
This Triffid was sat on the bass drum for weeks! It had nothing to do
with the band, none of us had seen the movie and he couldn't pay any
petrol money for the rest of the week. But in his mind it was okay: 'I
can't pay any petrol money for the rest of the week because I've bought
a Triffid.'"
