I am a writer, poet and satirist from California who now lives in Rio de Janeiro Brazil. Some of my pieces here were recorded with the Lucid Screaming Group in Los Angeles.
"Visions of Wozbrood" is a tribute to Jack Kerouac and his novel On the Road and to a good friend's interest in UFOs, as well as a look back at some wasted years with a certain music-industry trade magazine. "Jesus Crack," inspired by a peculiar phrase that Lucid's Aaron Jones heard in a dream, is a sermon against intolerant fundamentalists. "Esmerelda the Indifferent" concerns a fortuneteller who isn't at all worried about your feelings or future. The other pieces are fairly self-explanatory.
On these works, I perform the vocals, with the exception of Esmerelda (handled by Scott Osgood). "Show Me The Money Sutra" features myself with Shaun Sanders. I created soundtracks with Apple's GarageBand for "Greetings, Earthlings" and "Esmerelda," while V. Cummings created the soundtracks for "Jesus Crack" and "Visions of Wozbrood."
Halloween is finally here. A time of handouts and of sweets. A time of candies, popcorn, apples, Chocolate, tricks and tasty treats. The little ones deserve such fun, and ought to have such bailouts flung upon their little lives, for nothing more than being cute and young. Yet, in America, it seems that Halloween is much in style, as CEOs demand their treats for nothing more than cocky smiles, for nothing given to the poor, no contributions to the world, for parties on expensive yachts with caviar and tanned call-girls, for corporate jets and limousines and palaces and jewelry, for wasted food and roasted quail, for drunken, pale tom-foolery. Thus, Halloween comes once a year to little ones with little pay, but for the corporate elite All Hallows' Eve comes every day.
Wishing you a Happy Halloween, dear friend. Peace, love, and space-brotherhood, RE-VO
Hello JC thanks for finding me. Good writing my friend it gives me smiles. Knowing kind of smiles. I understand the place it comes from ;-). Hope Rio is treating you well. Best to you from Australia. C.C
Step right up... The greatest show on Earth: Baba Ed's Galactus at Andromeda Station atop White Mountain. Scott Osgood, J.C. McGowan, and the Lucid Screamers will delight us with their wild poetry and Pythonesque antics. Shatner, high on the yage, can be counted upon to do something outrageous. "Britain's Got Talent" star Susan Boyle will delight everyone by belting out showtunes while everyone notices only her makeover. RE-VO and Bela Ray will perform the new album "XII" in its entirety, while the flying Cosmogaian Elvises set new Guinness records. Come one. Come all. A splendid time is guaranteed for all.
Cheney snarls like wounded Penguin, played by Burgess Meredith. "Waaah, waaah, waaah." "Terrorists are everywhere," he says. "I was right, and always will be." Wolcott says, "I blame Bush and Cheney for everything, and always will, even long after I am dead." Partisan guerillas crush D.C.... repent. 1/4 of Americans believe Obama is the anti-Christ. I wonder who's on Conan, tonight.
Have an excellent, fully-integrated weekend, dear space-bro.
