Rebel Rebel

Davy Jones tells us why he wrote 'Rebel Rebel':

"Bryce Willis, father of one of our friends and associates, was a documentarian to the Royal Family over 50 years ago. Peculiarly, and despite his name, he was also an Austro-Hungarian, who harboured a grudge against royalty due to his own family being slighted as a commoner group. Willis was part of the Chotek family, and Sophie Chotek, although married to Franz Ferdinand, was not allowed to share her husband's rank, title, or privileges; as such, she would not normally appear in public beside him. She was supposedly not allowed to ride in the royal carriage or sit in the royal box.

No names, no pack drill.

Willis always had an interest in cinematography, and eventually made his career in documentary film making. His speciality was as a royal watcher.....but there was a more sinister background to this rebellious character. He believed, much in the same way that pylons and mobile telephones are perceived by some to be detrimental to health, that monochromatic film rays pointing towards his subjects over prolonged periods brought about bouts of madness. Experimenting with various filters, Willis attempted to intensify the effects of the emissions. What he was attempting was as close to treason as cinematically possible, yet no-one suspected Bryce Willis.

This is a story that can never be told.

Willis, now an octogenarian, lives in self imposed exile in Belgium, where he can often be seen in Liege parks feeding the ducks, to stray cats."
