 Debbie & The Ladds Tardo Campaign song |
Deborah Folse Chiasson has enjoyed a lenghty career in music touring with various acts and has even fronted the regionally popular band, Debbie and the Ladds as a teenager. She recorded her first single at the age of 11 with New Orleans piano man Mac Rebennack. Cyrus Tardo is mostly remembered for trying to murder his successor as Sheriff of Lafourche Parish, Duffy Breaux [also known as "One-Eye"], with a pipe bomb some 13 years after the two were involved in a hotly contested election. Fortunately, Tardo only succeeded in blowing off Breaux's foot [which was apparently reattached]. Tardo later plead guilty to the charges and died while in prison. A few years later, Breaux himself was convicted of defrauding the Parish of $100,000 and served 4 years in prison. |
 Judy Dunaway Second Movement For Balloon and String Quartet |
I began using balloons as a preparation on my guitar in the late
1980s. The idea to use balloons was rooted in the philosophies of John
Cage, and influenced by the Fluxus movement, free improvisation and
other avant-garde movements. ... However, what drove me to make them more than just a sound maker in my arsenal of effects and to make them a singular focus was the AIDS crisis. In the late 80’s and early 90’s I was living in New York City and many people, including my friends, were dying from AIDS. No one knew how to prevent the spread of the disease. Then it was discovered that latex condoms could prevent people from contracting HIV. This was when my obsession with using latex balloons as sound conduits began. Because repression had been a major factor in delaying the dissemination of proper information about prevention, I knew that I must approach my latex instruments without inhibition. This non-judgmental aural relationship and its corporeal visual manifestation remains a cornerstone of my work. |

 Letter To Eminem |
“I’m a very proud mother. I don’t think there’s anything [Marshall] can do to me that he hasn’t already done through the media.” Eminem’s mom Debbie Nelson Eminem has rather memorably called his mother a “crazy” “fucking bitch” who “does more dope than I do” and has “no tits.” He has also publicly joked about matricide and said, “I hope you fuckin’ burn in hell” in the giant fuck-you-mama of a rap song “Cleanin’ Out My Closet.” For her part, Nelson once told Marshall that she wished he’d died instead of Ronnie (“Of course, I didn’t mean it,” she has written, “It’s something I will regret to my dying day”) and sued him for defamation and emotional distress, a move she now describes as an accidental crusade waged by a predictably opportunistic lawyer. |

 Tito Mambo and the Voodoo Men Black Pepper |
Tito De Lacruz (1934-1989) While Tito Mambo was a little before my time, he was described as one of the most eccentric performers to ever play the Point by everyone who saw him. He would walk on water this certain day behind Bay Shores where there was many was a long walkway over pilings but at high tide it was covered by water so Tito proceeds to the back behind Bay Shores dressed as Jesus on the high tide followed by a few hundred fans watching this event and walks on this walkway covered by water.

 “Oozing Cyst Blues” |
Alan Seidler initial attracted widespread interest in 1975 along with his Blue Goose LP The Duke of Ook. On its cover, an unflattering caricature by R. Crumb gave the impression that Seidler was a frowsy nut-ball, and his “Oozing Cyst Blues” appeared to keep out that assumption. |

 "Whiskey Johnny" |
Born in 1938 as Laurence B. Koback, Sailorman Jack had a vast knowledge and love of pipes and tobaccos and never tired of talking about them, as well as sharing many stories from his own life experiences. He got his nautical persona from his love for sea shanties, salty songs of the sailing men of old which they sang to alleviate the boredom of their daily work aboard ship, and which he sang with revelry in the many taverns and night clubs of Manhattan. Died in 2006 |

 "The Circle Of Life" |
Originally from San Diego, Jerry Solomon recorded several singles during the 1960s and issued three albums in the 1970s, all of which are completely insane; Jerry rambles, croons, hoots and shrieks through his material like a psychotic. Andy Kaufman was a fan, and Jerry made a brief cameo in the Jim Carry film about Kaufman, “Man on the Moon”. |
