Okay, I have odd tastes in music. Usually I will go along with what ever is on the radio--lately being Earth Wind and Fire. The tune or performance will get stuck in my head and it just has to play itself out. (Manysisters did that with "She Loves You" by the Beatles during the Mesozoic period.) I have to call attention to a man I first saw on Showtime at the Apollo. He looked homeless and carried a huge boombox on his shoulder. The song was "Let's Get it On" by Marvin Gaye. The music started and I thought it wasn't real, that it was all an act. It wasn't.
Super Bad Brad, the famed street performer of New York, can be seen on YouTube in several videos--amazing talent and interesting man. He can be seen in a documentary called "Karaoke Man ", by Adolpho. A lot of people think this is Bruce Willis in disguise. Every once in a while you can find him downtown, his boombox planted along with a box for change. If I could get a grant to go to New York and find him (for a painting) I would be gone already. There are so many talented folks around that hide their T's--T meaning truth, according to the Lady Chablis, a vision of vision I saw in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Here is Brad singing "The Idiots", a tune from the Republic of Loose. Below that is the documentary . You just never know....
