BLUE COLLAR BEAT By David Weisman 2000

Untrained and unschooled, a latchkey kid raised on pop-tarts and gameshows, JEREMI BRITT HANDRINOS (horus8) has created Blue Collar Beat -- where Slam-poetry meets pop-rock in a ballsy new sound and attitude for Y2K. A life-artist, and action poet in the tradition of Jack Kerouac, Jim Morrison, and Arthur Rimbaud. The work of Jeremi Handrinos is spawned by the non-stop chaotic roller coaster of an adventure that has been his life since he was born on the fringes of Blue Collar America on August 7, 1974. "For the last 20 years it's been Indiana-Jones-and-The-Temple-Of-Fucking-Doom, twenty-four seven! I have never had a vacation; I have never been relaxed. For me, the only way out has always been my imagination".
