"I am writing in praise of your magazine's alien view"
Fan mail of the day/week/month/year:
Mr.Gillespie,
I am the artist DEXXX. I am writing in praise of your magazine's alien view. That is if one were an alien and had no ass to kiss and not allegiances to adhere to, one would write with the non-biased clarity that is often seen in your magazine.
Years ago around 1993, I read an article by Mr. [Alan] Bock that presented facts concerning Mr. Randy Weaver. The journalism was presented as journalism in the conventional sense of the word. I was inspired by it and it has been relevant in my art.
Thank you,
DEXXX
DEXXX's very fun MySpace Music page here. (Bonus: It includes a note from The Original Bootsy Collins.)
Alan Bock's excellent "Ambush at Ruby Ridge" article here.

Any relation to dhex?
Entertaining that this article is right above the one about the pot harvest...
Original Bootsy Collins? Are there others out in the world trying to pass themselves off as Bootsy?
DEXXX...amazingdrx...
coincidence?
B.P.
Bogus "friends" are the hallmark of My Space.
no, but i am thinking of suing and/or remixing.
Gillespie in '08!
No offense Nick, but I'm already starting to print the "Don't blame me, I voted for Gillespie" bumper stickers. Who wants one?
Great idea Emerson. As I've said before, I am sure Nick has a closet full of skeletons he's been saving up for the day and will embarass us more than any blue drivers licence protestor ever could. Sign me up!
Whoa! He's friends with Wilford Brimley and Dr. Phil and Bill Cosby and Larry Flynt. I'm impressed.
Are there others out in the world trying to pass themselves off as Bootsy?
Apparently George Clinton's wife often books George's tours and announces that Bootsy will be appearing, even though they know he isn't going to be there. So perhaps they DO have a fake Bootsy from time to time.
