Mickey Z LIVE!! Bringing Sexy Back To Radical Politics
As many of you know I ventured up to New York City late last week to put my new camera to good use filming “Radical America’s Homeboy” Mickey Z in Astoria. I’m so happy I went. I got to meet actual “expendables” Keir and James in the human freaking flesh! I met up and coming folk machine Val Turner (Bonus alert: mega-cute!) And, yes comrades, I met Michele and Mickey Z. I can safely report that Mr. Z is in fact the real deal and seeing the two of them as such a revolutionary, genuine and yet tender duo was an inspiration.
[Warning: don’t ever fuck with Zed in Michele’s presence. Yes, Mickey is like a ninja or whatever, but every time someone got too loud upstairs during his talk she turned into like a mama freaking Grizzly! Viva.]
As goofy as the above imagery is, I request that you watch all of the following videos in there entirety and straight through. It builds nicely. It is funny, tragic, heartbreaking and inspiring, (he didn’t call it “Stand-Up tragedy” for nothing!) So here it is and I’m incredibly proud to be a part of:
“Myth America: war, elections and our way of life”

A quick note: the foxy woman you see throughout the video is Expendable James’ girlfriend Karen. James’ head pops in from time to time. I hope everyone enjoyed the videos!

Very good, inspiring.
I’m about to hit the circuit, this will help.

Hey Maxwell– it was great meeting you in Astoria and thanks a lot for doing such a great job with filming it all. And for making Karen such a video star! She really enjoyed meeting you, too. Good luck to your wife, hope all of you can make it back to this big bad city soon enough!

Thanks for popping in James. I’ll be in NYC next month. My email is rejection08@gmail.com. Karen really is the co-star of this thing! I’ve actually memorized her facial expressions to key moments in the videos. Give her a hug for me.

Just when I lose faith in US honour and intelligence, I find someone like this guy who says what most US citizens either are too dense to see or too scared to say…..ROCK ON MICKEY Z! From Australia, the little guys with a big fat asshole for (ex)PM…John Winston Howard (Bush bum-chum #1)
