MEXICO CITY INTERVIEW

THIS IS AN INTERVIEW DONE AFTER OUR PERFORMANCE IN MEXICO CITY FOR THE WORLD AIDS CONFERENCE.

WORLD AIDS CONFERENCE

KISS ME RENE

"My dad wanted me to be a architect. My mom wanted me to be a priest. I wanted to be a vampire" - RENE CORDERO

Those are words from graphic designer/tattoo artist/fashionista; RENE CORDERO. Rene has been one of the original Deadlee fans. He picked up my first CD at an LA Record Store. He got in contact with me over the Internet, and a friendship was born. Sometimes there are people in ones lifetime that are just meant to be. Maybe we are Louis and Lestat from "Interview With A Vampire". We have survived centuries and now set the agenda for the 21st Century. An artist like myself can only be as good as the friends and people I surround myself with. Rene has been a big part of my career not only as a fan, but through encouragement and support. He also showed his support with this tattoo: Here are some of the great show fliers he has created. RENE is an incredible artist who has also created T. WATSON, a character that will soon be seen on shirts and products around the world.   Rene was born in Huntington Park, CA raised in the Ghetto Fabb City of Watts of Los Angeles, and is currently studying interior architecture in DENVER.

CARNE ASADA IS NOT A CRIME!

LOS ANGELES IS TRYING TO GET RID OF THE TACO TRUCKS! CAN YOU IMAGINE - A WORKER ON A TACO TRUCK WILL SIT IN LA'S JAILS WHILE THE GANGSTERS STAY IN THE STREETS! PLEASE GO THE THE LINKED SITE AND SUPPORT LA TACO TRUCKS!!

http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-tacos1-2008may01,0,4097615.story

Led by District 1 County Supervisor Gloria Molina, the L.A. Board of Supervisors has passed new restrictions that will effectively eliminate taco trucks from our streets. Under Supervisor Molina’s new rules, taco trucks will have to change location every hour, or face a misdemeanor charge carrying a $1000 fine and/or jail. Yes, jail. Taco Trucks are a special facet of Los Angeles, and something we don’t want to lose. Though this ordinance currently affects just unincorporated parts of L.A., that’s 65% of the County. And of course it opens up the doors for legislation closer to home too. Let’s send Gloria Molina and the L.A. Board of Supervisors a message that we cherish our local vendors and don’t want to see them move away. This new law needs to be repealed!  SIGN THE PETITION!

Pastor Jeremiah Wright is RIGHT!!!!!!!!

FOX NEWS AND THE RACIST WHITE REPUBLICANS ARE CRUCIFYING OBAMA'S PREACHER BY TAKING SNIPPETS OF HIS SERMONS-- I KNOW IT IS LONG , BUT TAKE 10 MINUTES AND REALLY LISTEN TO WHAT THIS MAN IS SAYING-- IT IS THE TRUTH!! JEREMIAH WRIGHT IS A TRUE PATRIOT, AND I SEE WHY OBAMA STAYED IN THIS CHURCH FOR 20 YEARS! FOX NEWS = KKK AND LIES!

RIP DEMON X

IT WAS DECEMBER 14TH, 2004 WHEN ARTHUR ANGEL AGUILERA aka DEMON X WAS SHOT AND KILLED IN COMPTON, CALIFORNIA. DEMON X WAS WALKING BACK HOME AFTER DOING SOME XMAS SHOPPING. IT WAS THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY WHEN HE WAS KILLED FOR JUST BEING A BROWN MAN IN THE USA. IT WAS JUST ANOTHER DAY IN COMPTON WHERE BROWN ON BROWN - BLACK ON BROWN- BROWN ON BLACK CRIME IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE. I REMEMBER  WHEN I GOT THE NEWS OF ART'S MURDER, AND I CALLED THE COMPTON POLICE DEPARTMENT TO SEE IF THEY HAD ANY LEADS. I ALSO WONDERED WHY THERE WAS NO MENTION OF THIS ON THE EVENING NEWS. THEY, THE POLICE, CASUALLY SAID 'THIS HAPPENS EVERYDAY IN COMPTON, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN IN A WHITE AREA SO NOBODY CARES".   I SEE IT ALL THE TIME, A WHITE WOMAN IS KILLED AND THE MEDIA MAKES IT FRONT PAGE NEWS, A BLACK OR LATINO YOUNG MAN GETS KILLED AND IT IS JUST ANOTHER STATISTIC.

DEMON X WAS THE FIRST DEADLEE FAN. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HIM BY EMAIL TELLING ME HE LOVED MY FIRST CD, SEVEN DEADLEE SINS. HE RELATED TO MY LYRICS, AND THE FACT THAT I WAS A MASCULINE GAY MAN. HE TOLD ME ABOUT HIS DREAMS AND GOALS AS WELL AS ISSUES HE HAD COMING OUT. HE CONTINUED A DIALOG WITH ME, AND WE FINALLY MET AT A GAY FESTIVAL. DEMON X STARTED WORKING AT A SHELTER FOR HOMELESS YOUTH, AND TOLD ME REGULARLY HE WAS SO HAPPY. HE WOULD SEND ME PHOTOS AND LYRIC IDEAS HE HAD FOR HIS OWN RAP ALBUM. WE SPOKE OF DOING SOME SONGS TOGETHER, AND MAKING GAY HIP HOP EVEN BIGGER.

I HAVE HAD SO MANY EMOTIONS DEALING WITH HIS DEATH. I HAVE SERIOUS ANGER AT THE KILLERS. I WISH THOSE COWARDS WOULD ROT IN FUCKEN HELL. I GET SO ANGRY THAT A YOUNG MAN TRYING TO DO GOOD, GETS SHOT BY SOME LOW LIFE SCUM. WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS?, IS THERE A LESSON TO BE LEARNED? THE LESSON TO BE LEARNED IS THAT OUR COMMUNITIES HAVE BETTER RISE UP AGAINST THE TRUE ENEMY - OUR OWN BROWN AND BLACK MEN. THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH THE WHITE MAJORITY CAN BE BLAMED FOR, AND THIS WAVE OF BROWN AND BLACKS KILLING EACH OTHER IS NOT ONE OF THEM. THERE IS A A LARGE GROUP OF YOUNG PEOPLE THAT DO NOT VALUE LIFE, AND THE RESPECT THEY ALWAYS CRY ABOUT -- THEY DO NOT GIVE IN RETURN. LISTEN TO A TYPICAL GANGSTER ALWAYS CLAIMING THAT YOU BETTER RESPECT HIS AREA, HIS TURF OR WHATEVER. THESE SAME LOW LIFE SCUM OF THE WORLD DO NOT FOLLOW THEIR OWN ADVICE. TWO YEARS AGO I ALMOST FELL VICTIM TO A SIMILAR FATE AS MY HOMIE DEMON X. I WAS WALKING MY DOG IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN A CAR FULL OF 4 LATINO YOUTH PULLED UP AND ASKED ME IF I CLAIMED A GANG. "WHERE YOU FROM"? THE CLASSIC QUESTION FROM THESE FUCK HEADS THEY ASKED ME. I WAS STARING AT 3 GUNS POINTED AT MY HEAD. THEY DEMANDED I TAKE MY SHIRT OFF TO SEE IF I HAD ANY TATTS REPPIN A GANG. THESE SCUM POINTED THEIR GUNS IN MY FACE AND COULD HAVE EASILY KILLED ME AND GOTTEN OFF. I HAD MY ANGEL DEMON X WITH ME BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON THEY JUST TOOK OFF.

3 YEARS AGO TODAY DEMON X LEFT THIS EARTH AND IF YOU LISTEN TO HIS FAVORITE RAPPER, AMIL ON HIS MYSPACE TRIBUTE PAGE, "SMILE 4 HIM". I KNOW I HAVE HIM AS MY ANGEL, AND HE IS WITH ME ON MY RAP JOURNEY. I RAP FOR HIM AND FOR ALL THE OTHERS WHO HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES-- JUST ANOTHER VICTIM OF THIS FUCKED UP WORLD.

YO DEMON X - THIS GONNA BE OUR YEAR MAN- YOU AND ME GONNA TAKE THIS RAP GAME BY STORM. I MISS YOU MAN- BUT I KNOW YOU ARE WITH ME.

DORIAN WOOD

WHERE DO I START? WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT DORIAN WOOD? I WILL START AT THE BEGINNING, WHEN I WALKED INTO A GAY LEATHER BAR AND SINGING ON STAGE WAS DORIAN. I HAD NEVER HEARD SUCH A SOULFUL VOICE AND ANGELIC VOCALS COMING FROM A PERSON. WHAT WAS INTERESTING, HE REPEATED THE WORD "NIGGER" OVER AND OVER. NIGGER! NIIIIIIIIIGGGGERRRRRRRRRRR, NNNNNNIGGER, NIGGER, NIGGER, NIGGER - THAT WORD, NIGGER http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigger , SUCH A HISTORY BEHIND IT, AND TODAY A RACIAL SLUR. I LOOKED AROUND AND SAW A GROUP OF BLACK GUYS TALKING TO THE BAR MANAGER, "HOW CAN YOU HAVE THIS MAN IN HERE SINGING SUCH THINGS?" THE OWNER BASICALLY TOLD THEM TO LEAVE IF THEY DIDN'T LIKE IT, AND THAT'S JUST WHAT THE GROUP DID. I HEARD DORIAN CONTINUE SINGING "NIGGER" OVER AND OVER AND I FELT I WAS IN HEAVEN AT A GAY LEATHER BAR. THERE WAS NO HATE COMING FROM THAT WORD. IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SPIRITUAL MOMENTS OF MY LIFE. DORIAN, IN A MATTER OF MINUTES ,CHANGED THE HATE BEHIND THE WORD AND MADE IT LOVE. I KNEW AT THAT MOMENT I WANTED TO BE CONNECTED TO THIS MAN. I INTRODUCED MYSELF AND WE HAVE HAD A  FRIENDSHIP SINCE. THE SECOND TIME I MET DORIAN WAS IN A BATHROOM AT A HOUSE PARTY, AND JUST SAY THE LESBIANS OUTSIDE KEPT POUNDING ON THE DOOR FOR 15 MINUTES -- UNTIL WE CAME OUT HAVING CEMENTED OUR FRIENDSHIP LIKE ONLY TWO GAY ROCK STARS CAN!   

WE PLAYED A LOT OF GIGS, RECORDED THE SONG VENGEANCE, FROM THE MOVIE OF THE SAME NAME, AND APPEARED TOGETHER ON THE INFAMOUS-- LA REINA DEL BARRIO SHOW. I NEVER KNOW WHAT DORIAN WILL DO WHEN WE APPEAR TOGETHER, AS HE MAY BE A DONKEY BOY ONE DAY OR HAVE HIS EYES SEWN SHUT FOR ANOTHER. DORIAN HAS GONE ON TO PLAY TO FULL HOUSES IN LOS ANGELES, AND HAS RECEIVED RAVE REVIEWS FROM LA WEEKLY AND OTHER PUBLICATIONS. DORIAN IS THE KIND OF ARTIST THAT INSPIRES ME TO KEEP CREATING.

BOLKA,  DORIAN'S DEBUT ALBUM , IS A TOUR THROUGH WORLDS WE CAN ONLY IMAGINE. DORIAN IS AN ARTIST THAT COMES ONCE A  GENERATION. MARK MY WORDS: "HE WILL BE A GRAMMY AWARD WINNER IN THE NEAR FUTURE!" DORIAN DOESN'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THAT, BUT HIS TALENT DEMANDS TO BE RECOGNIZED. IT MAY SOUND LIKE I'M KISSING HIS ASS, BUT I LIKE THE MAN AND HIS MUSIC!

WHEN I BEGAN THE HOMO REVOLUTION TOUR, DORIAN WOOD STARTED US OFF ON OUR JOURNEY. TAKE A LOOK ON YOUTUBE.

INCREDIBLE DEBUT VIDEO - THE MUTUAL

DORIAN WILL BE A FEATURE CONTRIBUTOR TO "ANOTHER DEADLEE BLOG" - CHECK THE CATEGORY DEADWOOD - THIS WEEK DORIAN HELPS ME WITH A SERIOUS PROBLEM.
