| Simpson, Phil Jackson, George Allen, Tommy Prothro, Mark McGwire, Bill Russell, Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart, Dan Fouts, Janet Evans, Don Budge, Norm Van Brocklin, Bill Sharman, Ann Meyers, Glenn Davis, Carson Palmer, Pete Sampras, Greg Lemond, Florence Griffith Joyner, Karch Kiraly, Bob Waterfield and Gail Goodrich -- they have to be part of the first California kids in the Hall group? For his eccentric commentaries on the fractured and fractious nature of history and identity he has mobilized a cast of characters that indudes Andrew Jackson, George Custer, Montezuma, and sundry personages from the history of Irish nationalism, as well as the artist's own briefly adopted pseudonym Abel Badheart. The CD carries a powerful punch with most of the lyrics written by Li'l J Xavier and featuring samples from such hitmakers as Michael Jackson, George Clinton and McFadden and Whitehead, among others. |
