Norton

Dr. Law

In the year of our lord, 1990, a bleached, wrinkled, and rancorous infant was found bobbing on the Baltic Ocean in a thatched, wooden cradle. As fortune would have it, our young lad was rescued by an aberrant amalgam of the wicked witch of the west, Darth Vader, and Hillary Clinton. The trio gave him the name Nordic Prince, sensing his remarkable skills of irritation and flattery, when he turned an occupied straw casket into a rudimentary drum set. The constant din and reverberations of same, led his family to flee from the Stockholm noise-abatement police and emigrate to the U.S., where his loud, contrapuntal style of music was a more congruous fit. Needless to say, with a semi-lawless background and overt deviant tendencies, our newly enfranchised citizen will be take his unlimited potential for all things tangential, and embark on the next phase of his illustrious life. We mortals wish him well.
