Every act of generosity—big or small—helps US out, for one, but also reassures others, and shows that as consumers and citizens, we ACTUALLY ARE able to use our personal agency to influence and build an environment for ourselves that reflects shared positive values rather than bowing to whatever the slavering faceless machines would have us slog away for, wasting precious moments of life like a rat running in a caged wheel.

In all honesty, the whole Forward Observer/CULTURE BOMB endeavor is substantially a social experiment about art, patronage, and the intrinsic value of freedom of speech.

Your support will help support my mission, and hopefully give me enough POWER and PULL to help set myself up as an example and role model of how to avoid our culture’s spinning-out devolution and the selfish downward spiraling descent into avarice, greed, and moneyblindedness that we see all too often when we turn on the TV or open up a page in a periodical. So, fans, F.O. calls upon your wallets like He-Man to his sword. America’s Eternia needed a hero. Forward Observer answered; I’m just his man at arms.

So, instead of sagging hopeless in syrupy tendrils of stinking pitch, sinking in tar pits like an ancient mammoth in La Brea, CA, I’d rather see us existing side by side, happily cavorting and bouncing friskily from the tongue-like end of our nation’s public swimming pool’s vibrating diving board with an onomatopoeiac cartoonish “budda-budda-budda” sound into a pool of refreshingly brisk waters of shared artistic expression, chlorinated (and by that I mean treated and properly calibrated) priorities, and that new cultural Renaissance I continue to speak so lavishly about!

If I get donations, I certainly won’t blow any of the money on gold chains. Who gives a f. Wasteful high fashion or unnecessarily gaudy glitz and glamour? That’s the opposite of what I’m all about!

Maybe one day, sometime down the road, my mission will be able to put your hard earned and much appreciated contributions to good use and actually bring about and effect social change for the betterment of US! I’m talking paradigm shifting worldview epic level stuff. The situation is serious, folks. It is dire; no joke we can shrug off or afford to ignore.

Current immediate goals involve covering operating costs and looking to upgrade beyond the small and cluttered efficiency suite/bedroom studio that this project currently operates out of now. Music and wisdom will be terraformed, organically grown, and tended to with bonsai precision; the songs are always available to listen to on the site for free; otherwise they'd just sit around on the hard drive anyway. F.O. left a lot of material behind. It’ll take months or years to get it all out appropriately.

The goal of www.fobband.com is to put a finger in the zephyr breeze of grassroots connection between art and society, and to gauge the viability of a start-from-scratch, small cohort project website as an efficient, novel means of connecting expression of ideas with listeners through the Internet outside of mainstream services and tired and exhausted “old-model” alleyways.

So, as we get started in the early stages of Forward Observer’s mission, I'm counting on your help, and your referrals to friends to stretch this out and make this dream a reality! If you think I make a valid point with any of this, please share the http:// address with others. No need to like or subscribe, we’re not even that advanced in website design; just spread the word any way you’d like.

Like a green-thumbed gardener’s worn, gloved fingers, F.O.’s mission began twisting the first turn of the cultural rusty hose spigot. Since you’re reading this, the valve is evidently open now, and it can’t be stoppered up; now that the truth water’s flowing, folks, you and I get to be the beautiful flowers who can finally drink and unparch ourselves.

Thank you for your valuable time, consideration, and of course, the hard-earned donation of fertili$er to the cause! I hope I can put it to good use and do your generosity justice.

I’m positive that if greater numbers of the horde of us stop feeling entitled to social anonymity, stop rejecting personal accountability, and start acting a bit more like that neighborly good Samaritan we have all heard of, we can put on our musical boots of action together, sow and reap a harvest of ripe truth seekers, maybe PEACE up(!), and winnow out the weeds of the totally crazy-sideways concupiscence that currently defines the hellacious moment that is our present 2026 now. We need more joy. I would be happy to see less fearmongering.

Like freedom and liberty, we thirst for opportunity. We deserve less bullshit than we’re receiving.

So, let’s kneel for the fallen and maybe stand for a flag. Maybe devote ourselves to a higher calling. Call it country, religion, family, morals or philosophy; in the end it all just boils down like strawberry Jello powder and congeals into a solid form. We’re ALL OF US human and don’t we deserve better? C’mon America. Wake up. Wake up. Time to go on a media binge.
