Big Red

A totally confusing and inspiring record that on first listen seems to be a unscripted monologue, but slowly reveals itself to be a musical essay that might be about "keeping it real". Adkins talks about fish that mimic one another, models who mimic b-boys, how Marlon Brando might have been trying to save his life by teaching other how to "act", how people might benefit from knowing that Britney Spears doesn't wear underwear, and how a magician made his mark by making his fingers disappear only to end up losing a finger in a accident. Richard Linklater's "Slacker", "My Dinner with Andre", films by Errol Morris, essays by Dave Hickey, and Pink Floyd's "The Wall" are suitable reference points to what happens on this CD.
