Local 1990s video film-maker Truman Bentley, who filmed many of my
performances as well as countless other locals, has resurfaced in the
small press / zine world:

In a recently received Newsletter ['Large Pizza, Cheese & 3
Toppings'], Truman announces the origin of everybody else's mother,
and humans in general:

"They were not created by an outside god autonomous in the universe.
The SPACE ALIENS were creating life in labs of SPACE SHIPS and the
SPACE ALIENS were trying to design living clone entertainment love
dolls, cooks and targets for the SPACE ALIEN military laser beam gun
practice range."

To further assist Truman in his research (and to obtain a copy of The
Newsletter), send US stamps and cash money to: Truman Bentley Jr, 3219
Carden Drive, Columbus GA 31907-2143, USA

This next review of Truman Bentley's daily (!) zine makes it sound
pretty good:

One of my favourite things about Truman's Newsletters is his lifestyle
advice. This edition has something stronger than a lame suggestion -
it's an order! Ten-hut!:

"You must become a painter. If you aren't artistic buy slide film and
take pretty pictures. Project the slide on your canvass and then draw
it in. Then hand paint the colors. You can learn to paint."

There's much more great advice in this one - if your life is lacking
direction right now, or if you're sick to death of your humdrum worker
bee existence, write to Truman and request this issue!

Once I went out of town in a hurry and I didn't
have a chance to wash the dishes so I left 'em
in the sink and when I got home the kitchen
smelled to high heaven so I spent the next
half an hour repenting.
