Mr. Martin Joseph Rioux (D-CA)

Every night I tell myself "I am the cosmos."

About Me

I guess this has turned into a little gallery of music I've been involved with as well as my personal site. So, a little aboot me. I've been playing music for most of my life. Been in several bands over time. The bands featured here are: Inkwell-where it really began for me, this idea of musical freedom. Black Venus-where me and Joe are loud and slow, Doombringers. and then my solo(?) songs played with Psychic Pilot and Joe's Tascam 4 Track. I will post re/model later. I am very liberal. I wasn't most of my life. For over 15 years I supported the Libertarian Party, I even worked for them. I helped make Libertarian history by signing the most people for information for the Libertarian Party at a single event. It was an idea I believed would change the world. But as our little world became even smaller with the influence of de-regulation of almost every industry since Reagan, the idea of Privatization started to frighten me. Pro Union. Pro Choice. I believe government can do better than this and it owes the people it's say. Thomas Jefferson did not intend for this outcome in our political system. It has to change.
