Mark Oliver Everett (born April 10, 1963) is the American lead singer, songwriter, guitarist, keyboardist and sometime drummer of the independent rock band Eels. Also known as "E", Everett is known for writing songs tackling subjects such as death, mental illness, loneliness and unrequited love. ==Biography== Mark Oliver Everett is the son of physicist Hugh Everett III, originator of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum theory and of the use of Lagrange multipliers for general engineering optimizations. Everett's maternal grandfather was Harold "Kid" Gore, a legendary men's basketball, football and baseball coach at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. In 1987, Everett moved from his family home in Virginia and resettled in California. There, Everett began his professional musical career with two major-label albums: ''A Man Called E'' and ''Broken Toy Shop''. The pseudonym "E" was used for both of these early recordings. While it may have caused some confusion in record stores and radio stations, the single-letter name gave the press a playful handle. This playfulness was evident in a review by the eminent writer Daniel Levitin which began: "Excellent eponymous effort, energizingly eclectic. Early enthusiasm effectively ensures E's eminence." A ''Billboard'' magazine review of his second album was similarly positive. In July 2014 Everett was given the Freedom of the City of London, at a ceremony held prior to his concert at the Barbican.〔http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a586519/eels-frontman-mark-oliver-everett-awarded-freedom-of-the-city-of-london.html#~p3DD1fbJJPnqRZ〕 Everett is an atheist. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mark Oliver Everett」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
