Who the Fuck’s Tony? by JG
He’ll never write a book… Tony is the book…
My super homie Tony Tartaduder’s birthday is today.
Tony’s one of the few people that I know who truly live without apology. When we need help pushing some extra weird, he’s there. When we need to laugh at the shit slopping to the floor when it hits the fan… he’s there.
One of the biggest mouths in Detroit, Tony is what I’d call an enigmatic beast of. He’s developed a language/religion of thought we call “Duderism”. It’s a mix of Satanism and Christianity, Buddhism and Nihilism, Capitalism and Communism; pure idiocy #geniusshit.
He’ll never write a book or have an “art show” because Tony is the book, and his life… the real “shit(art) show”.
I hope you find a giggle in these as much as we collectively all need it. Cheers to the fire, may we all burn in madness, soak up the ambrosia where we find it, and lay down the hatchets and hand guns for 40’s and refries.
Love,
Old Detroit
