Billy B: The Man, The Myth, The Legend
I first encountered The Billy B Experience ten years ago and soon recognized we had similar proclivities for wearing rubber clown noses and loitering in the parking lots of the same aging bearded guitar player.
Over time we came to be close friends and in the summer of 2000 Billy and our mutual friend Mikio and I loaded into a Ford Econoline van and proceeded to leak transmission fluid from New York to San Diego and back travelling with the Merlin's Wheel Gallery, our travelling psychedelic art gallery / temple to debauchery.
Billy is among the few people I have witnessed who can pause for a photo op during a full scale riot with 18 burning tractor trailers and not let it ruffle his feathers. The Billy B Experience is about always keeping his freak on (even when his clothes are off and he's streaking across the desert.)
Keep On Rockin' In The Freak World, Billy!
Au Bon Pain!
