Racer Omega. Bill's World: So what are some of the other songs that you like? Racer: Well the Wanderer is a great tune. I've requested that one alot. Bills World: What about buying a music cataloge ever given it any thought? Racer:Elton once mentioned that you could consider it a sale if you could imagine the cost of it. I think that music is too flimsy a way to go through life. People argue for the sake of arguing.I can't say that I would ever want to get involved in anything that costly. However, the Bills World: Yes, yes you've said that the Speed Racer theme would be one that you'd like to own is that with or without the cartoon? Racer:Don't jive, with definately! Bills World: Any other thoughts? Racer: Yes, I wanted to play speed racer and his older brother. I really dig the way the cartoon is drawn and the breathy way that the actors speak. Bills World:That's nice. |

X Bills World: So Racer, what's happening? X: Lot's of things Politcally Incorrect had my mask and I had to lay low for awhile.My secretary is still underneath the desk doing Earth Quake prepare drills. BillsWorld:What is this that we hear of your facination with Speed Racer? X:Absolute. I must admit that I requested the Speed Racer music more than Tetra music.I even tried to acquire the rights to Speed Racer. I thought that the cartoon was so neat that it would be cheaper to own the thing. I don't have any rights to Racer X either. It just sort of happened that I was freaking out with KPOI ROCKS and I was looking into the fact that they had a sister station in LA. One thing sort of lead into the other. That's how fleeting fame is I guess. I remember that I had been doing the show for a while and had no idea that anybody was even listening to me. Bills World: Have you ever done any film work that your fans can watch? X:The only thing that I have owned up to so far is jumping out of a trash can for a promo,that's hollywood for you did'nt get paid in a movie that is named after a blues song I sang outloud called Dead Presidents.A crew was filming around the corner and after I finished singing the guitarist said that a film crew was ready to film. I had no paper or pencil at the time it was just an adlib. That's the best kind of music. I did another song about being a film extra and staring up at everybody from the cutting room floor. At anyrate. They put me in a dumpster and whited out my face. I've never seen so much as a dime from them for either of the efforts. BillsWorld:How did you get even? X: Getting even is the wrong phrase I think. I just kept working. I got with Weird and started contributing to a company that does nothing but sell titles. You know every movie has a title! I met John Lithgowe I think that's how you spell his name and came up with the title Third Rock from the Sun. I explained everything to him including my inspiration Jimi Hendrix. I remember he was standing on this set and he picked up the phone and said. We're already filming we just don't have a title. He's what I call money in the bank. Bills World: So,what title finally made it free and clear? X:It would have to be Let The Games Begin! Everybody in LA saw that one. Alot of people thought that it had something to do with the Grinch that Stole Christmas. It was our biggest promo!

MTV........ Why can't it happen? The Hawaian Islands have always been a place where music and culture blend. Is there a window big enough to swallow H20, a picture box with sound capable of viewing SpeedRacer. Hey, anybody out there still into Psychedelic sunday's? We still listen to Tetra music here. |
