About Me

"Jackson is super hot. I'm leaving Brad."--Angelina Jolie
"Austin singer-songwriter-guitarist Jackson is a dangerous man - because if you let his songs get into your soul, you will never be the same again." ***Duggan Flanakin, Texas Music Critic
"Jackson continues to grow and mature as an introspective American songwriter while mining a vein similar to Ryan Adams and the late Elliott Smith" -- Eric Leikam, KGSR FM Austin, TX
"When I faked my orgasm in When Harry Met Sally, I had Jackson's music playing in my head" -- Meg Ryan
"Prolific and Inspiring....One of Austin's best singer/songwriters." Shelley Knight KKMJ FM Austin, Texas
"Jackson sat in a chair with folks leaning out of their seats to catch his every word....This guy is Austin's version of Bob Dylan when he sings solo, both in the quality of his voice and the poetry of his lyrics." *****FLANFIRE, May 2005
"I don't like Jackson at all. I think I'm going to try to ban his music world-wide" Vice President Dick Cheney.

Which member of the New York Dolls are you?
You're David Johansen! (A.K.A- Buster Poindexter)Please don't cry...my my my my my you are the poster child for all that is beautiful! Talented, hot, and innovative, yet horribly tempered and that tends to cause A LOT of problems. You dont like the fact that everyone asks you if youre gay all the time. Dont be so uptight because everyone IS NOT out to get you and your're lovely but I bet people say you're highstrung and tend to compromise your morals at times, but that's alright because you ALWAYS come out on top and EVERYONE WANTS YOU!(David Johansen was the lead singer of the NYD and caused a lot of problems within the band because he almost lived and breathed for conflict. Anyway, he's still alive and well married, and acting in several movies- Johansen says he finds time to sift through scripts but does not actively pursue roles. He scored an international hit in 1987 with 'Hot Hot Hot' under the stage name 'Buster Poindexter'.

CAST (in order of appearance)

Jackson – as himself, a noisemaker, button pusher, knob turner. Responsible for all sounds on album, except as noted below.

Perry Drake – as the hard rock country drummer on “Bob Dylan”, “Banks”, “Katie” and “Confetti Stars”. Gained earlier fame as Clark’s dad, “The Determined Fisherman”, and “Van Driver” (where all great drummers get their start).

Kevin Hollingsworth – as lead guitar player in scenes “Bob Dylan” and “Banks”. Previous roles included “Guitar Tech to the Stars” and “South Austin Peace and Love Choir”.

Mr. Bruce Lawrence – as lead guitar player on “Wish I Could Write Fiction” and “Confetti Stars” skits. Leads double life as an accountant, and triple life as a swell guy (I mean, just look at him, on his Brucifer page).

Dawn Biega – as the cellist in Act 7, “Caroline”. Was the only one on the set allowed to carry a bow, as she is classically trained and licensed in that area.
