Dave Cloud
Outsider musician and actor -- via the Nashville Scene. What a wonderfully strange person! An icon in the southeastern underground scene (ang big in Scandinavia), Cloud was an early punker who moved into his own inimitable area -- collage tape compositions, contemptuous/worshipful covers of bubblegum, psychedelic, and schmaltz, and his own songs. A frenetic performer who Phil Hebblethwaite referred to as a "garage rock lounge lizard extraordinaire."
