What ever happened to Surge Frost?

I met with Cristin last week for the interview for her upcoming book on slam and, after nearly three hours, we’d only gotten up to the 1999 Nationals! Hadn’t thought in-depth about the early days in ages but sitting with Cristin, one thing led to another, one story uncovering another uncovering yet another, and I

“A metaphorically transcribed poem.”

“I Killed Biggie Smalls” UPDATE: one of the people emailed back saying my poem had been posted in a forum on www.notoriousonline.com – a fan site for B.I.G. – and caused a bit of a hubbub. I logged in to check it out and apparently somebody had come across the poem and posted it, asking

“Did u really kill biggie smalls?”

Now THIS is weird. For me, at least, who’s more used to technical emails (“how do I get booked at…,” “how do I get published…,” etc.) than personal ones. Today, I got two separate emails asking about my poem, Confessions of a Serial Killer. It’s an old poem that I wrote back in 1997 and

A Call for Action… I am urging each of you that reads this to step up and send $25 to the presidential campaign of Dennis Kucinich, and to commit to organizing at least three others to do the same thing.

Today, I made my first ever contribution to a political candidate. Dennis Kucinich pulled second place in MoveOn’s primary and is staying in the race for the Democratic nod. Seems he’s crossed the $1 million dollar contribution line that the media uses to separate the legitimate from the fringe. Not bad for someone not even

Dean, Kucinich and The Democrats

I’ve been checking out this Howard Dean guy that’s running for the democratic nomination and, on the surface, he seems like the something different I’d be willing to vote for. While I like his outspokenness and grassroots approach, I am disturbed by the fact that he’s supported by the NRA and he is in favor

The Freshmen

I love this song, although, reading the lyrics, I realized I had no clue what the hell it’s about! Abortion, maybe? Definitely a suicide in there. THE VERVE PIPE The Freshmen When I was young I knew everything She a punk who rarely ever took advice Now I’m guilt stricken, sobbing with my head on
