My 9-11 Tribute…

My 9-11 Tribute…
My Tribute is in the form of a review concerning one of my performances a few years back. (A brief segment of the event can be viewed from a video shot that night in the “jokes and riots” section of this very website…)

9-11-01, was an enormous wake up call, a sad, anguished, scream of the desperate and hungry.

A call to consciousnees, and for the already awakened? A fervent need to educate those not yet weaned from the insanity of “mainstreamism” in this epic struggle to salvage a planet worth either living on or fighting to protect.

In this day and age, not just comics but indeed every living soul ought begin taking to all of life’s infinite stages en masse; to stem the tsunami of war, profit and environmental “ecocide” ingrained into our drunken train wreck of a culture ought be the lifework of every person still free in spirit.

This brawl happened because I needed to talk about rascism and gun control in Montana this particular evening. Funny as it was for the many, the drunk loggers in the front row begged to differ…

Ironicly, the man in question came back looking for me not 20 minutes after the show ended, waving his gun around the lobby and screaming for my room number. (Thus of course, proving my point regarding the need for the gun control in northern Montana…)

Enjoy the article and video, and enjoy your own 9-11, 9-12, etc… My 9-11 anniversary was spent thinking about new and funnier ways to awaken the slumbering beheomoth that is the population of what is now commonly referred to as the United States of America.

Oh and finally, a let’s not forget a very special 9-11 toast to anyone out there still with me, singing away into this exponentially expanding cultural black hole of intollerance, flag waving and nascar, our now warbeling voices like wet canaries in John Ashcroft’s Pennsylvania coal mine of Zealotry…

And of course, we’d be completely remiss if we let this anniversary slide on bye without a final, 9-11 toast to the Constitution; where even in it’s tattered remnants thanks to Ashcroft (How did he lose Missouri to a dead guy?) I’m still allowed, at least on this particular 9-11, to tell the truth. Enjoy it while you can, America…
