T-Shirt/Apparel + Digital Album
Based on the exclaimed lyric from "True's" 'National Council of Jewish Women's Thrift Store'. This soft, stretchy cotton tee is totally hip, with a unique heathered, moss-green shirt. Designed by my favorite eccentric John Berry.

When famine flies land in the face of people
And hungry eyes, tell you fate is sealed
This might smart a bit
No avoiding it
It’s not counterfeit… it’s real
The ambassadors failed to gain appeals
At the backstage door where she finessed the deal
No more alibis
Broadcast to justify
The years we all denied… what’s real
Whatcha doing about tomorrow?
Nations wiggle out, curmudgeons grudging steel
And they whistle a tune of drought, the bodies are revealed
It’s no TV show
To hell with rock and roll
It’s not a vaudeville joke
Or extra terrestrial… it’s real
You can’t wiggle out
With your frown or pout
Why don’t you cut it out
This here’s all about… real

Equal parts Minnesotan music scene veteran and Laurel Canyon resident/devotee, Willie Wisely remains that rare bird mixing
profound power pop with arena-sized showmanship, a troubadour on an all night rave up, a cold kombucha on a hot California day, a McCartney-ite taking a break from his Japanese import of “Ram” for a quick Canyon run listening to João Gilberto....more
Kelly Jones & I sing lead vocals on this fascinating popster album by Steven Fox, w/Linus of Hollywood, Roger Joseph Manning Jr, and others. BLOG POST ABOUT THE SESSIONS ~ http://bit.ly/WWSecretFriend Willie Wisely
Nick Piunti's third album confirms the idiosyncratic talent of this musician who keeps churning out fantastic power-pop tunes that would rejoice even the most jaded pop-rock fan, whether young or old, if they knew about the existence of 'Beyond the Static'. POPPHIL
