The most important part of this site has been that it relies on '''Allan's own words'''. In building this site, I have naturally come to add a few words of my own. I hope the separation between Allan's words and mine are clear, and that it is clear when I offer my subjective opinion on any of the works presented here. If mine and Allan's voices have become intertwined, I apologize sincerely. | The most important part of this site has been that it relies on '''Allan's own words'''.

Allan himself passed away before the current incarnation of the website was born. I don't know if he was aware of the existence of any of the prior versions of it. I try my best to let Allan's voice speak. His words come from a multitude of published interviews. I take no responsibility for the authenticity of anything he has said - I'm merely a conduit for statements he has made publicly. And I try to be faithful in bringing forward the statements he has made. | Allan himself passed away before the current incarnation of the website was born.

And I try to be faithful in bringing forward the statements he has made. I never knew Allan personally. I was fortunate enough to attend a handful of his concerts over the years, and shared a few words in passing with him. He was always incredibly gracious, even when I as a young fan said silly and stupid things. But to him, I was just another fanboy. | ||
That leads me to the next important point: I do not speak on behalf of Allan. Nor do I speak on behalf of his estate, or his record company, or anyone else. I maintain the content on this site 100% independently. I do not get paid for anything on this site. On the contrary, I have spent endless hours digging up rare source material that for the most part is not commercially available anywhere, and I have paid for hosting for many years out of my own pocket. There is no advertising on the site, and it generates no income at all. I have received a few free CD's from record companies, that's all. When I have used materials from other websites, I have always tried to credit the source and give a link to it. I believe that this website is at heart an example of fair use. | That leads me to the next important point: I do not speak on behalf of Allan.
