100 Things Phish Fans Should Know& Do Before They Die
Triumph Books
JUNE 2018
"Why Phish? Because Phish is so much more than a band. Phish is a culture, a phenomenon, a dance party, a celebration, an inside joke and a practical joke all the same. Phish is a 30-minute psychedelic improvisational meltdown, followed by a two minute 100-year-old a cappella barbershop quartet song. Phish is composition and improvisation. Phish is both humble and confident; spontaneous and rehearsed; four musicians, yet larger than the sum of their parts."

Welcome to the land of cannibalistic horses
APril 2005
I wrote the book Welcome to the Land of Cannibalistic Horses during the 2004 Presidential campaigns while criss-crossing the USA in a bright green RV. Illustrated and designed by Mike Force, Cannibalistic Horses is a nearly 600-page tome of personal narrative, comics, profiles, political reportage, and cultural criticism.
The book tells the story of visiting Orlando, Florida in search of Freedom and instead finding myself drug-addled in the Happiest Place on Earth… While contemplating who has the best job in America, I interviewed the organ player at Wrigley Field. And, on a whim, I snuck into the BET awards and the Democratic National Convention.
The book also features interviews with Wesley Willis, David LaChapelle, Bernardine Dohrn, Dan Savage, Jim Coch, Gloria Feldt and more.
