It is implied that he is a member of Geronimo Jackson.

Geronimo Jackson

Geronimo Jackson is a 1970s band. Little is known about the group, but references to the band have been made on Lost starting in Season 2. The only named member of the band, Keith Strutter, as well as several other band members, have “kind of gone missing” according to Damon Lindelof.

Geronimo Jackson Poster (Number’s Reference)

The poster featured characters of Alice in Wonderland (including Alice, the Caterpillar, the Chesire Cat, The Mad Hatter, and the White Rabbit), and advertised an 15th August (8) 1969 concert, at 23:00 hours. The Mad Hatter’s hat was drawn in red, white, and blue stars and stripes. The ABC store description of Geronimo Jackson products featuring this artwork says that it was created in 1969 for Geronimo Jackson’s European tour, and that it “contains a number of hidden references, including a certain sequence of numbers that may or may not hold significant importance within the show.”

Wiki Info

In Greek mythology, Iasion or Iasus was usually the son of Electra and Zeus and brother of Dardanus. Iasion founded the mystic rites on the island of Samothrace. With Demeter, he was the father of twin sons named Ploutos and Philomelus, and another son named Korybas. Because of his hubris, Iasion was killed by Zeus with a thunderbolt.

At the marriage of Cadmus and Harmonia, Iasion was lured by Demeter away from the other revelers. They had intercourse as Demeter lay on her back in freshly plowed furrow. When they rejoined the celebration, Zeus guessed what had happened because of the mud on Demeter’s backside, and promptly killed Iasion.

Further Info

IASION was an agricultural hero, the springtime consort of the goddess Demeter in the Samothracian mysteries. In myth, he lay with her in a thrice-ploughed field during the wedding celebrations of Kadmos (Cadmus) and Harmonia on the island which were attended by all the gods. When Zeus learned of the affair, he was angered and struck Iasion down with a thunderbolt. Some say Iasion and the agricultural hero Triptolemos were afterwards placed amongst the stars in the form of the constellation Gemini (the heavenly twins).

Iasion was perhaps equated with Attis, the dying consort of the Phrygian goddess Kybele (Cybele), and Karmanor (Carmanor), Demeter’s consort on the island of Krete (Crete). Hesiod appears to regard the two as one and the same when he places Iasion on that island. The meaning of the name Iasion is obscure, but it may connected with the Greek word for bindweed, a hardy plant used to sheaf the harvest wheat.
