HOOP DREAMS

Vermin Superem

All this talk about playing the Aeroplane Records tour and The Tens first show (This Monday, April 23rd, at the Vernors Room in Pontiac) has really got me thinking about all the people I'd like to work with. Just in the last two days I have been introduced to some very interesting and influential characters. They were so Amazing that I'd like to share them with you, contact them, and work with them in some way shape or form. Who am I talking about? The first character that has blown my mind in the last two days goes by the name of Vermin Supreme and he's running for president. Thats Right. A self proclaimed "friendly faciast" who I might call a genius fell into my lap the other day. Born in Rockport, Massachusetts in 1961, Vermin Supreme has been running for various political offices since 1988 and has ran for president four times. He is currently campaigning as a democrat in the 2012 election. His platform is mostly based on the promise that every American will be given a pony. Which he believes will produce jobs and positive entities for America's environment. The ponies will also doubles as a federal identification system. You must have your pony with you at all times to prove your citizenship. Vermin also hopes to pass a law requiring people to brush there teeth, "Creating strong teeth for a stronger America.". Not only that, he wears a boot for a hat, talks to Jesus, and has magic dust that makes people gay. In 1988 Vermin ran for mayor for our great city of Detroit as an independent and lost to Coleman Young. It makes me wonder what Detroit would be like today if Vermin Supreme had won. I don't think he could of done much worse or stole as much shit as mayor Young did. But you decide, watch Vermin in political action at the New Hampshire Primary. This man honestly lives his visions and thats honorable:




Pussy RIOT


Pussy Riot in full gear
The second thing I came across is this amazingly crazy Russian punk band. Bill told me about them today before practice. The all girl seven piece band goes by the name Pussy Riot and they are exactly that. I've been obsessing about these ladies all day. Not just because their band name is Pussy Riot but because currently all seven members are being held in Russian prison after their anti Vladimir Putin performance in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior church. These Chicks took on fucking Vladimir Putin and they chose an orthodox church as the venue. They are obviously not scared of shit. Many people are working to get the girls out, but many are afraid that releasing them would just be a death sentence. After watching many of the bands videos that consist of music, demonstrations, Russian rants and random videos of burned out buildings and cars. I have come to the conclusion that Pussy Riot would feel right at home somewhere in Detroit or Hamtramck. Nobody here would want to kill these girls or even dare to fuck with them either. I propose that we keep Pussy Riot safe and hide them in our city. The music is cool and they are truly fearless Russian Feminist who sure can make some power full politically charged art. You can see the video that contains the song and demonstration that landed the girls in jail:


OH Yeah My Hoop Dream

Now you're up to speed on the things going on in my head. But what does Pussy Riot and Vermin Supreme have in common other than being revolutionaries. The Tens want to put on a show with them! While Vermin Supreme tours the country running for president he also performs his spoken word. So would you go see The Tens, Pussy Riot and Vermin Supreme perform together? Thats all I've been thinking about. What not a better way for Vermin Supreme to bring voting awareness then working with The Tens and Pussy Riot. Vermin already has ties to the city as a previous candidate for mayor. And Pussy Riot needs a safe place to stay. Step one get a hold of Pussy Riot and Vermin Supreme, What do you think? Can we do it? Who knows but I'll keep you updated. Let the plan begin. Hopefully Presidential candidate Vermin Supreme and Russian Feminist activist Pussy Riot pick up there phones.
