He talks about racism, social corrosion, family matters and the human condition in “a world gone mad” — basically, the politics of relationships in America today.

In 1996 and ’97 Angelo put out the first Dr. Madd Vibe CD, book and video. The trio was called The Missing Link presents the Dr. Madd Vibe’s Comprehensive Linkology. It’s like the annual county fair in The Twilight Zone with Angelo providing the background music being pumped in over invisible intercoms. You can get it at the shows or on his web site.

In 1999, Dr. Madd Vibe started spreading the word across the states, hitting the Midwest, the East Coast and the South (that was interesting). Some reviews: From Denver – “It was a journey, A beautiful, terrifying, hilarious, amazing, magic journey. I didn’t know whether I wanted to keep my eyes closed and just follow him in my head, or not even blink for fear of missing something.” From Minneapolis – “The tone of the show shifted about halfway through the second poem, when Angelo looked out and said, “Hey soundman, can we bring the houselights up?” The lights came back on and Angelo was off the stage, working the floor. He did the rest of the show walking in between tables, stopping to make contact with us. “This is so I can get more intimate with y’all,” he said through his trademark grin.“

So what’s coming up this century for Dr. Madd Vibe? More CD’s, more videos, more books and more shows. More of everything, I guess you could say. (Or should that be Moore of everything?) And let’s not forget the website! Visit us often because we have lots of goodies to throw your way, including updates from the Good Dr. himself.

A piece of advice from Dr. Madd Vibe: “Arm yourself with a protective prophylactic coating of consciousness!”

Critical Times – Fishbone’s Hen House Sessions – In 2001, the legendary, influential and voraciously eclectic band Fishbone arrived to record their newest material at the Hen House, a free community recording studio – fully wired for digital sound and video. The only rule: leave your shoes at the door. What commenced was an in-depth look at a veteran musical group during its sometimes painful reincarnation phase. Primarily thought of as an almost religious experience – the brutally joyous live shows of the band have been long known – what is less understood is the source of this inspired madness.
