DJ My Biographical Note vs. Twilight Hustlers (1980’s Crew)
Davis Schneiderman
Audio collage by Davis Schneiderman and Don Meyer, also featuring the voice of C. Everett Koop/musical genius.
“Butch provocateur” Dial-Up Networking, fuck you very much. Co-founder and leader of the quasi-terrorist/revolutionary organization, Blackout Angels. I am diseased and rotten, editor-at-large of the BLACKOUT REVIEW. My daddy routinely fucked me with rabbit-ear antennas until I was nine, then with the corded remote control connecting the fat, unwieldy cable box with punch-down buttons to the processing vacuum tubes of Ed Sullivan’s decimated body. I licked the shit from his UHF asshole. For much of the 21st Century, I was in reruns and did not age. My doctors expressed a sort of underhanded medical bewilderment reflected in the worst of the JAMA articles of the 1980s: Five gay men get a nasty case of pneumonia, and President Regan never speaks of the pandemic until Surgeon General C. Everett Koop jacks him up in a broom closet and says,—We’ve got to face this thing Bonzo. Admit it, you obsequious little fuck,—but Reagan stares blankly, concentrates on the lugubrious game of his next bowel movement and ICBM missile-silo start talk salt comprehensive test ban treaty meeting with Gorbachev in Iceland, replacing the dead goldfish in the little boy’s bowl…and well, I’ve go so much on my mind he thinks and all this guy wants me to think about is the plight of a few lousy faggots. Can’t show that sort of weakness in front of stain head.
