a hundred pages of whining (ahem, “rants”) by one boyd rice - on the themes of:
lies / equality / individuality / liberty / peace / harmony / diversity / imperialism / capitalism / consumerism / work / tips / competency / rights / politics / democracy / relationships / the sexes / hopes and dreams / complaints / respect / keeping it real / it’s all good / outside the box / the status quo / hypocrisy / idealism / rebellion / transgression / law and order / police state / thought police / the nazis / cults of personality / fame and success / privacy / information / intelligence / choice / delusion / meaning / philosophy / sociopathy / the perennial dichotomy / the dichotomous mind
there! - feel like you’ve read it already?!
“Boyd Rice: Keeping it Real”
I am familiar with Boyd Rice more through his music (it’s more noise, but call it as you see it.) He has been experimenting with sound since the 70s and ironically is on the same Mute label with Depeche Mode (go figure). I went to his homepage and found that he seems to do the whole sound/visual/written word thing. Interesting.

Wow, only 30 years too late in stating the well known and obvious.
despite my sneering cynicism above, by all accounts this is a very good read - it does look to be the essence of boyd rice perfectly and succinctly distilled
lol @ spyke
it sound maybe interesting but i’ve read so many interviews that i think i’ve read enough. i’m waiting for you to read it first Trevor and tell me how it was.
it’s like the Peter Sotos stuff, once you’ve read one you’ve read them all…
ha! - well, i’ve never listened to his “music”, never read interviews, no interest in boyd rice outside of his misanthropic views …so i think i’m going to love this actually (the same way i love mark e smith - yay for grumpy old men!)
just finished some sloppy-written paperback on josef fritzl so i’m starting on this tonight
Sounds alot like my sociology textbook.
Trevor Brown, would you like to marry me?
Yeah musically the man is not far behind Sol Invictus within the ranks of the shamefull industrial-ish musicians. Yet i must admit he managed to push the concept of public image provocation to such a level that no one can compete. To file with Jim Goad, Dantec, GG Allin and Jean Louis Costes
