Influences: John Rolling Thunder is an accomplished writer, inspired by numerous travels throughout the world. Mr. Rolling Thunder's work has brought about a loyal following resulting in continued successful and often controversial endeavors and projects. During the late 1980's and early 90’s, J. Rolling Thunder wrote, produced, and directed several theatre-musicals: "Last Dance of the Dead," "The Emperor's Servant's" and "Starr Wurmwood; The Afterlife." The Emperor's Servant's was sponsored and performed at the Fullerton Museum Center Auditorium in Orange County, California. Mr. Rolling Thunder was once again honored at “A Night in Fullerton,†a very prestigious exhibit of chosen artist's in the varied forms of the arts, once again receiving a nomination as a new emerging playwright. Collecting accolades around the world for his works, he was given recognition in San Diego CA, for his contributions in the arts; literary, visual and musical. He is the first artist ever to achieve this honor by the Institute of the Arts in these areas. He has penned over 500 songs not including his poetry, spoken word, rants raves and rages. In his recent written works, he breaks down his lyrics to spoken word/poetry combining what he terms as "clips" (short auto biographical excerpts from his life) adding fortune cookie wisdom he learned along his path. Rolling Thunder has created a trilogy of autobiographical accounts of courage, fear, brutally honest and raw, revealing a life of illness, addiction, and torment. From a very strange place in his heart he takes you on a trail of insanity, sex, drugs, spirituality, and death. The Pen is mighty, exact to the strength of the will that delivers the ink onto paper. The books are "Flying Circles Around the Sun", "The Sugartrain,†and "Dilauded Sleep.†Mr. Rolling Thunder's other projects in progress are "Before Forever After Butterfly," "On The Eve of Battlemouth," and "A Conversation with the Devil on Acid."
