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

Have a whiskey knocking and swimsuit dropping rest of the weekend!!! If you're opposed to drinking and running around naked then finish up with a guitar slinging and pocket change jingling weekend!!!
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
