JOHN THE BAKER: LADDER OF PIGS

Kinda thought this would be a good personal interest almost fluff piece. The amazing JOHN THE BAKER ( EX SLIMY PENIS BREATH and an old acquaintance of mine) has posted a widget/video of his infamous hit tune "Ladder Of Pigs" on both YOU TUBE and MYSPACE. Funny story, back in 1994, JOHN THE BAKER was playing this tune during a impromptu street performance on the WOODSTOCK GREEN in WOODSTOCK, NY.
Turns out WOODSTOCK isn't as liberal as you think, as someone got offended by JOHN THE BAKER lyrics and called the coppers, as JOHN was arrested. In a 1994-95 precedent setting case regarding musicians, street performers and first amendment civil rights in the HUDSON VALLEY AREA, JOHN THE BAKER countered his arrest by suing the town of WOODSTOCK for about $20,000 making him my hero, for a few years, and a song and incident I will never forget.
JOHN THE BAKER now lives in Richmond, California and works for ALTERNATIVE TENTACLES records (Jello Biafria EX DEAD KENNEDYS) label and frequently performs with a punk band called "INSTANT ASSHOLE".
My interpretation of "LADDER OF PIGS": The demoralizing, dehumanizing and obvious delusion of personal competitiveness and Capitalism.
