hey my eyes are up here buddy!

the amazing art of Floyd D. Tunson.... contemporary artist and buddy of mine...

I spoke to Andre Williams for the first time on the telephone in 1998 to interview him for a newspaper. I remember being so excited to talk to such an R&B legend, and little did I know that I would become such great buddies with him and party with him all over the world for the next 20 years!!! The first phone interview with him was so wild that i swear some of his answers are etched into the fabric of my being.... "Andre, what did the sweetest pussy you ever tasted taste like?" The answer shot out of him instantly without any hesitation, "Honey Dew Melon", "Andre, where was the craziest place you made love?" "I pulled up into what i thought was an empty parking lot and started doing it, and then all of the sudden all these lights came on and a bus load of prisoners stopped right next to my car and could see may bare ass, turns out it was the parking lot of a prison." "Andre, have you ever tried viagra?" He answered this one in third person, "well you see Andre has a tendency to do too much of a good thing, so no I havent tried it yet." "What do you think would happen to you if you OD'd on it?" "Well they would have to bury me in a lidless casket!" Andre was one of the funniest and wildest show men in R&B history, I remember taking him to the Matador in Toronto after a gig and he was mesmerized by the country band that was playing, and we drank till the wee wee hours, when we were leaving the place there was a red convertible cadillac outside the venue, and i told him it was mine and he jumped in the passenger side, the owner of the car came outside right behind us, had a huge mullet and moustache and yells "get the fuck out of my car!" and Andre just jumped out in one fallow swoop and we laughed our way to some house party. Two years later, i have moved to Germany and have a baby on its way, and i go see Andre at a club in Hannover, I meet him again and he remembers me as "Blacksnake" and its about 8pm and he has already drank about half a bottle of vermouth. So i tell him that I am about to have a baby and ask if he has any advice. Then he gets this serious demonic look in his eyes and says, "always remember that as soon as that child sees your face, she will always know who you are!" What that meant I still do not know, but it sounded good the way he said it with such conviction. Many years later I met up with Andre in Chicago, I phoned him around noon and he says "Call me back in an hour, i am getting my prostate checked!" We hang out all afternoon and i tell him about how I had to check into a mental hospital for a bit, then he asks me what meds they gave me and it turns out we had tried all the same drugs! Later that day we ran into Syl Johnson, who was produced by Andre way back in the day, and they hadnt seen eachother in over 30 years, and Syl tries to jump kick Andre and goes "Motherfucker!" and they start smiling and huggin, it was beautiful to see them reunite like that. Andre was always such a character, and I feel truly blessed too be his friend. He touched the hearts of so many people and was reborn so many times in his own lifetime, literally crawling out of the gutter and reclaiming his majesty, thanks to such great people like Billy and Miriam at Norton, Larry Hardy at In The Red, The Demolition Doll Rods, Mick Collins.... I will never forget him and his incredible legacy, as a producer, as a singer, as a song writer, as an author, and as a true pioneer of that raunchy rock n' roll that saved my life. Goodnight Andre, may your journey beyond be as amazing as your entire life. with love, your "ethnic friend" King Khan P.S. this video attached was a completely unrehearsed "jam" we did with Andre in Chicago many moons ago.... though the "song" may not be very tight his charm exudes......

the amazing story about Dr. King visiting Berlin in 1964.... despite having his passport confiscated and being forbidden to go speak in east berlin, MLK didnt even flinch and did not one but two sermons in east berlin, sewing a seed deep into their minds...

I wrote this song in French called "Empoisonneuse" 10 years ago, after spending the night in the house that belonged to Mme. de Brinvilliers she was known as "The Poisonner of Paris"... her story is intensly tragic, she was raped by her father and as revenge poisonned him and all her brothers, all this in the year 1666! She was beheaded and her body burned at the stake.... here is her story in song, i called her Elodie (cuz i love that name so much).... in French!!!!! She was also blamed for the murders of many children in a hospital, it was said she travelled through the sewers and catacombs into the hospital. EMPOISONNEUSE (F. Bourdil - F. Brissaud - A. A. Khan) Pourquoi tu ris toutes les nuits Empoisonneuse Elodie Tu joues avec des parfums interdits C’est pas du Chanel, hostie J’ai vu ta bicyclette dans le jardin des regrets Ca suffit Elodie T’as embaumé mon Coeur d’effluves de Malheur Empoisonneuse Elodie En mille six cent soixante six Tu as tué tous tes fils Sauf moi ton p’tit complice Qui connait tout De tes vices Les feux d’artifice dans tes yeux magnifiques Empoisonneuse Elodie On danse dans une transe de meurtre et de romance Allons-y Elodie La peau du crapaud et le sang de l’agneau est ta recette magique Enfant violée et par le roi décapitée Empoisonneuse Elodie En mille six cent soixante six Tu as tué tous tes fils Sauf moi ton p’tit complice Qui connaît Tous tes vices Derrière tes apparats de gente dame Se cache un poignard sans lame Tu me provoques en duel Et je choisis les larmes

When my kids were born 16 and 18 years ago, my wife and i decided never to have cell phones, so my daughters grew up with out the little screens and developed a love of painting, making music, enjoying nature and enjoying there youth full of wonder and creativity. If you dont believe just have a listen... my main message to all new parents keep them devices away from your kids! https://sabalou.bandcamp.com/

Coming to Bristol in July!

so if you are wondering if punk rock can be passed thru your genes (not jeans haha) it can! rest assured, just make sure you let them kids start writing anthems really early! i remember when saba lou heard me say the word "physical" she started laughing at how funny it sounded and then within minutes started singing this song... at 5 years old! Luckily i heard it, ran to the living room and recorded it on the 4 track.... ahhh the memories... she also thought the name "kalamazoo" was hilarious!

Hey kids!!!!! here is Saba Lou's first single with a bonus track, "The Wrong Song" a beautiful example of Capt. Beefheart channelling his soul through a 6 year old girl!!!! CHECK IT OUT!!!! NOW!!! King Khan
