Th' Rev'rend Doctor Disko!

He's got soft words, that he will slug you with!!!!!

About Me

writer. actor. community activist. bartender. rock star. detroit city council candidate (adjunct, since I'm twirling in California now...). line backer. The Missing 6th member of The Temptations. Underwear Model. olympic bronze medalist (i wuz robbed!). Official Tour Guide for the City of Detroit. Truth-Stretcher.MySpace Layouts - myspace layouts

My Interests

I am writing. Again.

I'd like to meet:

more people in touch with their inner-opposites and generally comfortable in their own skin. People who aren't evil and won't let the devil trick them. people who aren't afraid to step out on faith....People who understand what that WELL BEHAVED PEOPLE NEVER MAKE HISTORY....if the FBI isn't watching you, you're not doing something right.

Music:

I think all music is soul music...correction--all Good music is soul music. How do you know if your listening to good music, you ask? If your favorite radio station plays the same 20 songs all day you're probably not listening to good music. Soul-less music (and soul-less art, in general) breeds zombieism and general apathy. Zombieism may not be a word but zombies have no soul. I do. "I got soul and I'm superbad." If you want to be superbad too, support public radio and request unappreciated artists at your local radio station(sometimes they actually put money aside and show some integrity...)

Yolanda King VS. Jerry Falwell

 Can I get this off my chest? When we focus on the negative people, we get nowhere. Jerry Falwell and Yolanda King died practically the same day. I immediately received a press release in my mai...

It's also not an amusement park for bored suburbanites. I was walking down my street downtown on Sunday during the Lions game and loads of people were parked tailgating...which would be cool if tailg...

Will the Myspace Riots Start in Detroit? & Sidebars

I was at this party full of artists and every conversation I encountered usually ended up on the topic of myspace. This was cool, but also pretty damn annoying. At one point an "artist" said to anothe...
