I have some secrets about Friday the 13th that have actually made it a lucky day for me. 🙂 Just hanging tonight? Stop in and join me.

More will be revealed! What is YOUR take on Shock the Monkey? If you are drawing a blank, you’ll leave this show with a new awareness. Authority figures direct others to “shock the monkey” (Many cases that’s you), and no matter how much remorse, fear, reluctance, anxiety demonstrated in doing so for those that hold the trigger .. Studies show, the effects of human nature even against will, cause the majority to continue to shocking the monkey .. To death if directed to do so. Think SSI/SSDI, Big Pharma, Societal and personal attitudes about disability, etc.

Brain, Drain, Refrain .. Making me insane! Join me on the crazy train, for music, your peeps, and to help me entertain. Be a monkey or bring one!
