The artist, Rick Ox, poses with his life partner - a vodka tonic
So much has happened in the past week or so, and you may have wondered what we’ve been up to. Well, besides commiserating over the deaths of Johnny Cochran, Terry Schiavo and the Pope, we’ve been
traveling through time again. And wouldn’t you know it, but we happened upon a most auspicious year, 2130. In a time of, what else, end of days worries and the everlasting war on obese drug addicts, America seemed no different at first glance. But then we went to
bookstore for a bite to eat, and found the same hideous face on most every magazine cover. His name: Rick Ox, a controversial Cyborg ruling the music scene with overt
anti-human messages and danceable choruses. We asked around and determined the Rick Ox was the best liked and most easily recognized "human" in America. Four year olds were even picking him over a return to their fathers’ testicles in a
likeability quiz. Average humans liked him so much that he was being encouraged to run for President despite his open contempt for everyone and his pro-death and dismemberment messages of anti-hope. The people had finally found their demi-god in the form of a white suburbanite. What a surprise!
Over the next however-long we’ll be occasionally bringing you a taste of what’s to come from the future, mostly all in the form of Rick Ox’s melodic stylings. Robot, what an ambiguous announcement! Here’s the first in that series, a tune called “Country Drug Song” that manages to top the Country, Pop, and Tube-Sock charts all at once in 2130.
