Band Members: This is a one man band, and I am the member.It has come to my attention that I am a Sage with a piercing, satirical mind. You may be asking "Where the hell did you get that idea?" So I'll tell you. One day I listened to some of my talking pieces and read a few of my blogs and thought "Wow, that guy has a piercing satirical mind!"; knowing full well that I was talking about myself. But thats O'K.; its only a problem if you talk TO yourself. Then I looked at the number of plays on my two MySpace profiles. Almost 20,000 plays, and still counting. I am famous in a group of about 400 more or less regular listener/readers spread all over the USA. All because of this magical, new technology. All people who I would never have met if not for MySpace. And I talk and interact with many of them. Isn't that wild!I have to admit, the Sage part was my idea. I read someplace that a Sage is a man over the age of 50. If I were born at fifty I'd still be in my late teens. So I figure I've been a Sage for 16 years. That makes me a senior fucking Sage! Some of my friends have said "Mark, you can't be a Sage because you curse so much!" To which I reply "Sue me, I'm a purple Sage."So pay attention to my finely tuned (mostly) satirical productions. I guarantee you many a laugh, and who knows...you might even learn something
Influences: Sid Ceasar, Ernie Kovacs, Lenny Bruce, Lord Buckley, Sigmund Freud and about a hundred other psychoanalysts. They are my intellectual mentors, though I've only met the hundred other psychoanalysts.
Sounds Like: NOTICE TO ALL MY FRIENDS:
I am able to have a Myspace page because of the help and support I get here at The Wallflower Gallery, especially the help I get from the owner C.D. Flash. I don’t own a computer and can’t even turn the damn thing on without him. I do email and accept new friends. Flash or Alonso do everything else. I volunteer to do the door on Fridays for the music shows, and spend most of Thursday online answering email, accepting new friends, and working on my blog. There are times when other people here check my profile, update info, or do cyber-fishing for me. They do not read my messages or respond to friends requests. When you hear from me, its likely to be on Thursday. From time to time staff may post bulletins or add events to my calendar. In other words, just because my page says I’m online doesn’t mean I’m online.
I am able to give voice to my opinions and fancies because the Wallflower exists. Without a place like this you would never have heard of me or from me. Check my blog to read about this place; there are few like it. If you have a place like this you are damn lucky; chances are you don’t and aren’t. Flash records all my pieces during live performances, edits them and Alonso posts them. What a deal! All I do is talk. So if you enjoy my talking pieces, don’t thank me; thank the Wallflower, I couldn’t do it without them.
