Best I could find on the WHOLE internet is
"Ezra is most likely (kevin won't tell me even though i've bugged him about it enough) the poet ezra pound, seeing how kevin griffin was an english major he either decided that his writing skills were greater or perhaps that he was better as a person than the communist ezra pound who was persicuted for his beliefs on the subject...hell they have a song named after him."
