Not John Cage, sure as shit not John Zorn, not Sun Ra, not Fluxus. And no, not any hippies or 'edgy' pop stars either. No one who ever lived happily shoved the avant garde pie in the faces of more people than Spike. Mister Jones to you, and he wore the ugliest plaid suit ever made & ran a crack team of breakneck-speed virtuosos who specialized in schizoid gargling, lip pops, burps, duck noises, gun shots, car horns, fart sounds, bursts of wild ragtime, Peter Lorre impressions, percussion on dishes, Hitler jokes, tuba blow outs, sneezes, laughing, classical piano bombast, pig snorts, jazz clarinet licks, screams, glass crashes, cloth rips, slurps, dog howls, snores, bird tweets, fake crying, buzzsaw sounds, hiccoughs, and don't forget a veritable whiplash of whistles.
