Inspired by a true story.

I'm just a little confused. If it's based on a true story, wouldn't the music be darker or more somber? The music was good, albeit a little incongruous with the lyrics.

Yes if this was classical music. But it's punk and we even make fun of idiots who drive their kids into the river.

Now, you know if I wrote that the Bandmix Lynch Mob would be screaming for my head.

No Mike you'd show the actual video of them dragging the car out of the river.

Okay, I see where you're coming from...but...omg!

I like it in spite of myself, & that kinda bugs me, jimmy, which means that you did your job well!

Thanks Phil. Sometimes our job as musicians is to lift the rock and expose the squirmy creatures underneath to the sunlight of truth.

Yeah, I probably would, in all gory detail.

It might have been Robin Williams who once said that, "a comedian can tell a joke about about an old woman falling down a manhole and make it funny. But, for it to be funny to a comedian, it ACTUALLY has to be an old woman falling down a manhole."

Did you win that makeup job at a Clockwork Orange look a like contest or that a tattoo?

PS: Kurt is dead, deal with it.

Hang in there, you'll come around.

Well, being more aware of who's who here makes it clearer who to avoid altogether. BMix is supposed to be adding an ignore function soon (a little late, I think). So, that should keep the peace better around here.

As far as rehabbing my image, uh...I've always been terrible at it. Like I said in another post, I'm looking for musicians I can get along with. Combined with the requirements of them as musicians, it is kind of a daunting task to find them. If you think some disgusting picture is bad, you have no idea what I'm thinking of doing with a stage!

But, that kind of goes into some of my work. SOME, not all of it. I sent around copies of my DVD Demo and the printout I included with it. It was just a basic outline, a rough sketch, of some ideas. Pretty heavy on absurdism and surrealism, social commentary, etc. Maybe if Monty Python formed a crossover hardcore / metal band.
