The Roger Wild

It's all right...I'm a doctor.

About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 Moved to Memphis 8 years ago. Really I expected to be dead by now but hell some things are just our of my hands. I played guitar for some of the worst bands and solo artists in and around the San Francisco Bay Area. They are there and I am here....and we are all together...Don't say it. I know. I expected to be a lot better guitar player by now...I've been picking at it like an enormous violin shaped wound for over thirty years now.... over thirty five years now really.....thirty six for sure. I've decided to get serious and that means leaving the cat alone and not calling in sick so much and practicing what to say to offensive people when they ask why I'm not the head of General Motors or a Priest by now. If that pans out I will hold seminars on how to do it because I can see it in your faces....you musicians out there....not the weekend stringers....I'm talking about YOU...the ones who are playing in the back seat of your car because the other people in your house don't want to hear it at 2:30 in the morning. I'm going to figure it out and put it on the "twilight" bark..... leave the cat alone!

My Interests

Music, Art, Writing, Science, Poetry, Cats.

I'd like to meet:


Click Here to get this from pYzam.com!
People with an idea. Writers, performers, singers, People who don't remember where they parked, but know that they drove the Mustang today. I want to meet people that are thought of as funny by their friends. SNL fans. Joke and story tellers. People who cut a sock in half to play dress up time for kitty! Do you know All the words to all the songs on your favorite album? People who walk to the store. People who pick things up off the ground and keep them because it could work as "art". I want to meet the one's whose families think they ought to write a book or be in show biz. Do you dream when you nap? Me too even better some times. To hell with rock stars and actors ....I want to meet you. I never get tired of people that stay up late and have interesting theories about the universe. Since the theory of Christianity is as provable as the theory of Aliens visiting us why not have both. Mix it up. And what about Rabbits? Do they dress up as people and worship a Rabbit Christ every spring. Is there a Kitty Christ? Can you see a cat up on the cross? Sad little look on his face...Meow! Meowmeow...meeeow? That's kitty for "Father why have you forsaken me. Someone draw that please. I would howl! Little crosses only say four feet off the ground....kitties with there paws spread open ala DaVinci's Man. Little crown of thorns...... I want to meet Kitty Christ!!! Bring him on. I want to feed him and rub his ears. Maybe put some of that furball medicine on his paw. I Bet he'd like that. Poor Kitty. Misunderstood, rejected by his followers. Asked to fulfill a prophesy when all he wants to do is chase birds. See how religion screws things up. Pray. Pray for Kitty Christ and draw him please. I'd love to see that.

I was eighteen and it was new years eve. I was dressed entirely in red with a black cape and a black top hat. I was running around this party in the hills of Mill Valley California smoking an enormous hand rolled "jazz" cigarette. I mean it was the size of a flashlight. Everyone was acting really crazy...it seemed. I kept running out to my car to bring my guitar in and play it and I would open the trunk of my car and my guitar would not be there and I would get really excited and start panicking and the people filming it would say ..."It's OK! It's OK! remember?....you brought the guitar into the house when we got here." And I would say that's fine but why are you filming me?" One of the filmists actually tried to get me to calm down and stop calling him a Filmist. "We're not Filmists he would say." and I knew that they were not and that's what I'm saying the film was about because a lot of the people involved are not even sure who I was then and I'm not sure who I am now and we are all together...I know....don't say it.
Your Famous Last Words Will Be:
"I dunno, press the button and find out." What Will Your Famous Last Words Be?
font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" style='font-size:

Television:

Good stuff. Old movies, Old T.V. shows. PBS Science stuff.

Books:

Robert Heinlein's "Stranger In A Strange Land, Time Enough for Love, Number Of The Beast, and To Sail Beyond the Sunset." Harlen Coben, Some Stephen King, Some Deaver and some Koontz. Michio Kaku's "Hyperspace" and any Alan Watts.

Heroes:

We reward perseverance don't we? Folks who stick with it and get a degree or a certificate of some sort. People who sell door to door. I like people who are frustrated with the sorry state of affairs public decency and manners have fallen into. Door holders, "Excuse me" sayers, people who let you "in" in traffic, people who tip at the drive through or give money to beggars regardless of what the beggar does with the money, People who help animals, caregivers and care takers, teachers, fire and police people thank you. Strangers that wave and say good morning. Parents, theater people, performers really of any type. People who tell you that your zipper is down or you have green stuff in your teeth. Polite people. Also advanced risk takers and assorted outlaw system bypassers.
