Flattered to have a place here!

Current Job(s), Length Held:

Currently teaching college-level philosophy in the midwestern United States (formerly in the New York City area--damn!) (There was, however, a farewell MEAT POETRY reading in Brooklyn in July (2005) just before I left! [the link takes you to a few pictures from the PRE-Farewell show. At some point I hope to post the Farewell show, too, but just haven't gotten around to it, what with the move and all. Speaking of moving, check out ROX #91])

Fine art printmaking, NYC
Silkscreen expert @ Pearl Paint, NYC

-
Last Book Read (and opinion in 4 words or less):
-
Kant's political writings -- and Kant would not be, as Roger Scruton claims, for the attack on Iraq. (See SCRUTON on KANT ) but don't buy it for a minute!
-
Last Video Rented (and opinion in 4 words or less):
-
Finally just saw the Passion (Aug 2005), actually a version missing the subtitles -- which, then again, I didn't need, since I already read the BOOK. So, my verdict: What a godforsaken mess!

Liberal -- of course!
-
Religious Affiliation:
-
Talk to Fichte and Feuerbach.
-
Musical Instrument(s):
-
Scratchy throat.
-
Favorite Music/Band(s):
-
Latent Chaos, hands down.
Everything on the Bob Chaos label. (See BOB CHAOS, which provides MP3s of a lot of good stuff [my favorite tape: Rarities])
As the Walking Ruins (another great band) used to say, "Local Music is Good Music!"
Everything on the 4AD label (e.g., very cool Bloomingtonian LISA GERMANO).
And of course, Einstürzende Neubauten!
[And etc. etc., usw. usw.]

Memory stick.

Reading, writing, thinking, talking, eating, laughing...
-
Favorite Drug(s):

Diner food. (But a lot of diners have been replaced by chain restaurants.)
-

A "B & B." Or, a Shirley Temple (or, when I feeling really manly, a Roy Rodgers).
-
Personal Motto/Excuse:

Bitte eine Nachricht hinterlassen, nach dem Piepton.
With drink in hand, Editor B leaps atop the steps of Myers Hall. (Note the “Meat Poetry” tee shirt featuring an image of Ed the Meat Poet.)
