Live at The Hemlock, San Francisco, September 2005. I was performing in SF with "THE BLACK RIDER", the Tom Waits/Robert Wilson/William Burroughs Theatrical collaboration. I did some shows with members of the band, including, in this clip, my perennial collaborator, the one and only David Coulter (violin), Kate St John (accordion), and Bonfire Madigan Shive (Cello) The other vocalist is the great Matt McGrath, (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm05 69847/)who played the lead in The Black Rider and is a truly wonderful artist blessed in equal part with a vast talent and a disarming modesty. I dedicate this clip to all my colleagues and friends made during the 2 unforgettable years of touring the Black Rider round the world.
Actor,writer,musician and adventurer.

Inspired by Jean-Claude Silbermann- a Surrealist Experiment....... To retain it's freshness, THE SOUL must remain dry. Sterility gauranteed unless THE SOUL is damaged or open. (For External Use Only). Please dispose of THE SOUL safely. Fill THE SELF all the way up with SOUL and leave it for a full 2 minutes. THE SOUL should be full strength and not watered down. You can not give THE SOUL to your SELF by re-using your own SHADOW, but you can get all other types of infections by re-using your own SOUL. If you have to re-use your SOUL bleach it first. If THE SOUL hurts, pull out!! The selling of SOULS is permitted only in closed packages. Do not remove THE SOUL from THE SELF until moment of use. Do not remove the protective SELF until moment of use. Recent studies have shown that THE SOUL may live outside the body at room temperature for atleast 16 hours, but no longer than 4 days. Never carry THE SOUL in pocket as THE SOUL may ignite and cause burn injuries. All SOULS sold in the U.S. meet the same FDA standards for strength and quality. If you want to lose THE SOUL and are 18 years of age or younger, consult a doctor. Rapid SOUL loss may cause health problems. Slide rubber spatula between THE SELF and THE SHADOW to easily seperate them without tearing. Remove THE SHADOW from THE SELF before intial use. Apply THE SOUL to genital area (vary amount of SOUL to achieve desired lubrication). THE SOUL is extremely slippery-clean spills immediately. Take this SOUL exactly as misdirected. Do not skip rope. When using this Soul see important warnings: avoid contact with eyes in nostrils. Avoid feeding suspect breast. Caution: Federal Law prohibits the transfer of SOULS to any persons other than THE SELF to whom it was divined.(+----->eli
