Details:
Just the facts:
-Born in 1955, Buffalo, NY (churches, bars, Italians, and depressed football fans)
-Buffalo Bills fan (the sports equivalent of Buffalo's endless cloudy days)
-Father - Methodist minister
-Home filled with music, mostly church music (leading to an intense need to provide non-lame musical alternatives to young church folks)
-Hitchhiking around the country (homelessness by choice) from 1971 to 1976
-Has been performing stand up comedy and many kinds of music in all kinds of venues large and small for more than 30 years (gifted non-success)
-Christianity in various forms has had a significant impact, for both good and not so good. (1. Jesus himself is remarkable - too wonderful to be properly represented by an institution controlled by a paid priest - and priestess - hood. 2. For left wingers, a watered-down, religious pretense of "compassion" for "the marginalized" is much easier to pull off than true forgiveness for a real person who has wronged you. 3. For right-wingers, defending "the authority of Scripture" is much easier than thoroughly studying, understanding and taking seriously the essential message of the New Testament.)
-Degree in Biblical Studies; advanced degrees in the Humanities and Secondary Education
-A few past and present jobs: janitorial, day labor, library, tree-trimming, aerospace-defense, teaching, writing
-Loves words and language
-Books published: Little Crucifixions; Poets, Prophets and Healers; The Book of Fragments; Songs of Sound View
-Seemingly generally poor social skills (the usual label is "weird")
