Musician, writer and actor - Boyd Rice

1997

I approached Boyd Rice and gave him my story: singer of a hardcore-punk band with very tongue-in-cheek social Darwinist ideals. He cracked up. That made us realize he was the only other person, outside the band, who understood Timescape Zero. I wanted him in the studio, but he was on tour and we recorded in one week, so I asked him if we could place spoken word tracks from his "Might" CD on a track for our up-coming album, "Total War" - since he too had done his own version of "The Logic of To-Day". He laughed again, nodding his head up and down, and said, "Sure, sure." The other guys in my band took off as Boyd and I headed to the bar for drinks and chat about perceptions of reality, sabotage at Disneyland and his tour with Douglas P and Death In June.
Stuck with a 9 to 5, I had my last drink at 2 am and called it a night at about 3:30.
We shook hands, exchanged well wishes and I prepared for the hour long drive back to Hialeah.
