Mr. Berg-Andersson is an alumnus of Boston
University's Class of 1978 with a degree in Music,
which well prepared him for his role as the political
analyst for "The Green Papers". "It was either that or
continuing my career as Night Manager for a chain of
convenience stores", says Mr. Berg-Andersson, who
refused to be interviewed (his comments herein were
taken from an unauthorized leak of the transcripts of
several court-ordered wiretaps). "I figured that if I
could do a neo-Schenkerian musical analysis relating
the various Interval Vectors found in Charles Ives
compositions, I could easily master the more arcane
procedures of the Caucus/Convention system of choosing
National Convention delegates."
Mr. Berg-Andersson was born in New Haven, Connecticut
but, after a childhood spent on Staten Island, New
York, was raised in a suburban north central New
Jersey town from which he spent the better part of his
adolescence and early young adulthood seeking escape:
he eventually did so, successfully eluding recapture
for nearly a decade and a half until he was found to
be residing in New York City's Borough of Queens and
was subsequently returned to the north central New
Jersey suburbs to complete the remainder of what was
now an extended sentence. "I choose a stratum of
Society even lower than that of a Musician: that of
Political Analyst", Mr. Berg-Andersson added. "Parents
have been known to allow their daughters to marry a
musician before they'd allow a wedding to a political
pundit and here I am having had experience doing
both!"
