The Artist With Lights



Wintersox recently spoke to the press about Here Comes the Party People and said the following:

Wintersox New Years Concert
Set 1: Wintersox Reads Here Comes the Party People
Set 2: The Music
Encore: Wintersox Comes Out And Smashes Guitar

Bright Side of the New Years Ball

Listen to magic
Give her your word
Love her forever
If you only could

There's no real communication going on here. Perhaps Bowie says something every now. And Ziggy.

Good artists make good business decisions. Great artists sign everything.

Strummer Calling

The truth
Do you accept
This Clash call

Should I Clash or Should I Strummer

Your words have to do with you, man. You are talking about where you are going. There's no heaven, Imagine that.

Here I am now, Entertainment.

Brion Burroughs William S. Gysin

"Every particle of this universe contains the whole of the universe. Well you and yourself have the whole of the universe, I cut you up in a certain way, I cut up the universe. If you have a prerecorded universe in which everything is already prerecorded, the only thing that is not that prerecorded are the prerecordings themselves." -William S. Burroughs

"Every particle of the universe, if you have a prerecorded universe. Well you and yourself have the already prerecorded. The only thing, I cut you up in a certain way are the prerecordings themselves. The whole of the universe in which everything is whole of the universe. That is not prerecorded. I cut up the universe." -Wintersox

When I chow down
With Leonard and Roshi
It is up on Mt. Baldy
Where the food is good

"You and I represent art right now, that’s my gut feeling."
-Wintersox, in a letter to Anton Newcombe

What kills most artists isn't drugs, it's trying to provide something for a group of lunatics called people. It is the social pressure to be someone glossy instead of someone human that kills artists. Great ones feel the pressure to be scratch and sniffs like roses.

You're someone with a name. You're someone who has his reality provided for him. The television is never really challenged. That's the way the world is, bullshit. Someone more clueless than you tells you what to do. The best thing for you is to become a caveman, really. Eat, drink, sleep, fuck, and make art. Be a caveman. People laugh because deep inside they know you're ahead of them.

Here Comes the Party People

I Love You
