Scurvy Bastard
Scurvy Bastard has been a NYC construction worker, a UK roadie, a stagehand for Saturday Night Live and Eric Clapton, an organizer of Live Aid '85, housepainter to The Grateful Dead, an "elephant roadie" for Indian superstar Sridevi, a continuing actor on Japanese television and played a FBI agent on THE INVESTIGATORS. Irish musician Ron Kavana (The Pogues, Shane Magowan and The Popes) wrote in his liner notes for Alien Alert, "Scurvy Bastard, one of the world's great roadies and party animals." In the graphic novel series, The Preacher, he was the model for the character of Si, the serial killer.
His work has appeared in Mystery Island Magazine, Zygote In My Coffee, Beat The Dust, The Linnet's Wings, Every Day Fiction, Hard Luck and The San Francisco Herald. He is one of the poets in the chapbook, "13 Knights Of The Apocalypse", and in 2008 will be included (along with Charles Bukowski and Mark Twain) in Mystery Island's "Book Of Balls".
