About Me


What is..

Whiskey Prophet?(5 second attention span..)I've spent more time "de-constructing" or stripping down than I have been building. Let's call it "streamlining." Here's 30 seconds of time to tell you (visually) about the reality of politics."Dare To Answer This"URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwXSSNsfEdMChickenshit politicians DON'T want you to know this. We don't have a political system. We have corporations running the shit via loopholes. The dare is still stands. ANSWER THE QUESTION. (A-holes!)Politics? In America? (Got Cash?)I still send a special mention to "Rocket Queen" 'Cause I feel like it... "Speaking" of music files, I (might) have much to say, but.. I don't feel like it right now.I haven't forced you to listen to anything, so you can't give me no sh!t. lol.If your name is interesting enough, it stands to reason that;1. People will check you out. 2. You must have some originality.If you're called "Big Rockin Johnny" well.. You're probably just as interesting. (Or too lazy to put a decent name to good art.) Sorry if this sounds brutal. Get real. It's the net. BE ORIGINAL. Surfers have all of a

5 second attention span. (Again..)

But if you're (still here reading) By all means.. Holy crap! I'm amazed..But by now, you're hip to the trip or not. So here's the ramblings lads and lasses.

MUSICIANS, and music lovers..

All these bands and artists, letting people "stream" their files, but won't let you download them. ..Unless you want to pay, (insert amount here: $___.__ ) What do I think? It's an insult. "You have to pay to listen to me and my trip.." I don't think so..These days, an artist really ought to feel honored that somebody actually wants to listen to them. Especially if it is (repeatedly.) Things are changing rapidly. (Even as you read this..) The days of charging people to hear music are ending fast.This brings up a lot of questions. But I'm getting all too intellectual on your ass (at this point) so here the text ends.I DO know where things are heading, (but I'm not divulging it.) It's an edge I think I'll keep.

What do you get when you cross a cop, a priest, and the pledge of allegiance?

OK then.. Whiskey Prophet. What is it? .. More like what isn't it.. A "band?" (Perhaps.) At times it has been. More like a media entity; one that continues to change and evolve.. "For he who cannot stand rapt in awe, is already dead." ~A.E.~

I'd like to meet:

George Harrison. John Lennon. Ike Eisenhower. Ghandi. Dimebag..

Damn.. That's right. They're all dead!

Long live DUCK.

Music:

At one time, this author scored 18th of 35,000 bands worldwide. Musician Magazine's "BUB" contest. Once, (while in the process of being signed by Chrysalis Records ) the company was bought out by EMI.. A "big break" pre-empted by "de-reulation." (More or less corporate consolidation.) Alas, we now have but 5 giant media companies to choose from. Successfully pre-programmed and 'dumbed down' enough yet? If not, watch more reality TV. (Any of many will do.) Sony-EMI-PLAYSTATION. Live in your world, play in theirs. Why, as a matter of fact I have. Ain't that a trip. Alrighty then.. How much IS all the tea in China worth? I don't know, but make sure to check it for lead.. An artist works because they are compelled to.. Not for some piece of pie-in-the sky. (That my friends, are "Entertainers.") Mass adulation appeals to the "ID." And greatly to the insecure. So there may lie many motivations for some.. Of course not a few great artists became "famous" (long after they were dead.) Too busy creating to promote? Maybe unconcerned with poularity. Acquiessing to critics, (or for the sake of approval) waters down the final result. The price for being ahead of your time? (Hardly.) True artists create because the alternative is madness. Some, do both. Are you still reading yet? (5 second attention span..) What.. No MySpace player? What's up with that? Isn't this a music page? Yeah.. I dumped the whole "Player" thing. You can still hear the music here, or download it free. (Popularity contest.. Riiiight.) Is there enough filler material here? Ah good. Visit the personal history page if you like. (There's one there.)
