Artist Statement

Where’s my science? There is no greater contribution than to be in love with da world n aware in all this suffering and illusion. Dire Straits I tell ya. Just gimme comedy, some type a bitch telling it straight. Instead of switch on the drowsiness, blurred vision, muscle pain, weight obsessions, sore gums, lung/breathing disorders. I’d rather sing outta tune in front of 10,000 people than cook a clambake on the beach. Well, that’s a lie. Our America. Get it together people. We all SLUT FREAKS.
