   About Wil Forbis
Wil Forbis is a musician, author and aspiring pornographic film actor in Los Angeles. He regularly performs under his own name, with Dafni, and with the Grievous Angels. You can buy his new book, "Acid Logic: A Decade of Humorous Writing on Pop Culture, Trash Cinema and Rebel Music" from Amazon.com. His alt-country album, "Shadey's Jukebox" is available shortly from Rankoutsider Records. (Scroll down for info about the album.)

Here's what people are saying about the Acid Logic book:

"Wil is a cynic's cynic, but in the depths of his filthy black heart he hasn't forgotten how to love. Or how to write."
Mike Daisey, monologuist ("How Theater Failed America") and author ("21 Dog Years: Doing Time @ Amazon.com ")

"Forbis has that rare thing, an open mind, with tons of random stuff flowing through it, and a crow's eye for the glittering oddities of pop culture."
John Richardson, author "My Father the Spy," "In the Little World"

"...the most entertaining book I’ve read all year. Forbis’ juxtaposition of subtlety, cynicism, and over the top ranting (not to mention his penchant for asking his interview subjects truly interesting questions) makes for a dizzying ride through the annals of pop culture..."
Rich Evans, Exotic Underground Magazine (xmag.com)

"Take one part Rolling Stone’s Lester Bangs with two parts National Lampoon’s Michael O’Donoghue and stir in a swizzle stick of Salon.com’s Cintra Wilson, and you have the intoxicatingly addictive cocktail that is Wil Forbis."
Earl Horlyck, Sioux City Weekender

SHADEY'S JUKEBOX NOW AVAILABLE
The new album by a Wil Forbis and the Gentleman Scoundrels is now available. Click here to buy from cdbaby.com.

Shadey's Jukebox is a collection of 10 songs written by Wil Forbis. The material is rooted in country but touches on Dixieland Jazz, Bluegrass, Americana and Soul. It features the exceptional playing of Peter Kavanaugh, Mike Brady, Shaun Mason, Steve Mugalian and many other guests from the Los Angeles alt-country scene. The album is released by Rankoutsider Records, the name you've come to trust in quality independent Americana music. (www.rankoutsiderrecords.com)

Yep, Chuck is my better half.  We have been together for over a year, and never a dull moment :)
I definitely am familiar with Ms. O'Day.  My late father was very into jazz, swing and standards and as you can guess that rubbed off on me in a big way.
Yours in all things Diva,
Tracy
