I think I would do just anything this man told me to do!!!!

Hi Norman, A delayed response but there's a lot to take in here.

This is very layered, complicated and dark. The visual images are disturbing and mostly effective.
The piece makes my feel quite anxious and a little guilty about how superficial I can be.
I'm glad that you left the poem underneath so that I could read it quietly and then out loud for myself.
Very original and imaginative.

Are you doing the vocals here as well?

p.s. at the bottom of page you send us to there's a very addictive game people might like.

When I was young in the midlands of Ireland, Willie Lep(p)ers were ladies of a certain profession who would "lep" (this being our local pronunciation of "leap") on a willie for money.
I thought you needed to know this!

– Oh the education I’m getting here!

This explains why the angels were strippers (I have to admit I found that weird) and why Marisha made the above comment – I thought that seemed desperate even for her. (no offence dear - it's good to be persistent).
I thought the poem was about greed - the perversion of western culture - us doing what ever we want to get what we want...

add prostitutes - okay theory still works - I think, I don't know I'm confused now

Very cool Red! I love a good synchronicity. The title in my mind at least was a parody on the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Thanks Cate, I have my own ideas about the images --no less or more valid than yours. I don't thnk the creator's prerogative extends to bullying the interpretation. His is only one of many. I wrote this song with Paul Millington a couple of years ago. I did the vocals and lyrics.

Marisha, that is indeed a pic of me trying my level best to look spectacly intellectual. I guess there are a few floating around the ether.

take care
