The True Story of TRASHWHITE ANGER

It began by asking Todd Rundgren if he would collaborate with me on a Colour and Passion for my record. He thought about it and considered a few colour choices but then realized that TRASHWHITE might be an option in the colour spectrum.

We decided to work on a song depicting the multitudes of feelings and characteristics of such a colour and all things that come with it. A title like one found in a house paint chip catalogue, TRASHWHITE associates more with an array of passions (anger, racism, violence, embarrassment, supremacy) rather than with an actual hue on the wheel of colour; TRASHWHITE points at various shades on the scale of natural colours, complementary and non.

Todd scripted his lyrics to my basic track of drums, adding guitar and synthesizer along with a poignant vocal delivery. Chris von Sneidern engineered and sang BGVs. Jason Scheff from the band Chicago played bass guitar and contributed his endorsement for the project with a gleeful performance. Raging slide guitar solos along with authentic hillbilly pickin’, played by Joe Dileo, capture the threat and immediacy of the track. Jello Biafra of Dead Kennedys and his cohorts chanted and declared TRASHWHITE war with reckless abandon throughout.

I spewed out my lyrical discontent interspersed with acknowledgements about conditions in our uncertain society, along with a pumping dance groove, asking the listener to stand up and shout! Kick out the jams MF!

TRASHWHITE ANGER Lyrics

TRASHWHITE, SOMETIMES KNOWN AS ANGRY WHITE
AFRAID THE OTHER COLOURS ARE PUSHING HIM TO THE
BOUNDARIES OF THE CANVAS WHEN HE
WANTS TO BE, NO, DESERVES TO BE AT THE CENTER

TRASH, TRASH, TRASHWHITE
ACT LIKE AN ASS
AIN’T GOT NO CLASS
AIN’T GOT NO TASTE
YOU GONE TO WASTE

KELSO DUMPSTER DIVER
ECO SHUCK ‘N JIVER
CLEAN UP TO BE A SURVIVOR
KEEP TRASHWHITE SHADE ALIVER

TRASHWHITE, FROM A LONG LINE OF SHADY WHITES
EACH A LITTLE LESS WHITE, BUT STILL DREAMS IN
WHITEWASH, BUT LIVES A BASTARD OF PURE LIGHT
OF TRUE WHITE, IVORY AND ALABASTER WON’T BE SEEN
WITH TRASHWHITE THEY KNOW IT EMBARRASSES HIM, JUST AS THEY ARE
EMBARRASSED TO BE AROUND HIM

TRASH, TRASH, TRASHWHITE
SKIDROW CRACKA UNGRATEFUL SMACKER
TRASHWHITE IS THE COLOUR
TOO STUPID TO LIVE
BAD TO THE BONE
NO SOCIAL ORDER ZONE
LOW DOWN RASCALS
PAINTING THE WHOLE DOWNTOWN
WHITE!

BECAUSE TRASHWHITE IS NOT THAT COMFORTABLE WITH
OTHER COLOURS, OR WITH IDEAS THAT
MAKE HIM WONDER, IF HE WAS NOT CREATED THE MOST
WONDERFUL HUE OF ALL
BUT TRASHWHITE IS HERE TO STAY
IMPERVIOUS TO ANY CAMPAIGN TO MAKE HIM CHANGE HIS
SHADE. BECAUSE IF THERE’S ONE THING
IN HIS FAVOR, YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE WHITE TO BE
TRASHWHITE

Y’ALL BOYS SEEM TO LIKE TA COME AROUND HERE ‘N TALK A
A LOT O’ SHIT. DON’T MAKE ME COME GET ALL
MY BOYS AND COME DAR ‘N SORT Y’ALL OUT…
WE AIN’T GOT MUCH ELSE TO DO BUT SIT
AROUND WORRYING ABOUT WHAT Y’ALL FIXIN’ TA DO

TRASH, TRASH, TRASHWHITE
ALABASTARD
WHITEHOUSE DISCO ‘KEEP IT SIMPLE’
DON‘T STOP, DON’T STOP

WALKING ‘CROSS A 40 ACRE FIELD
RATTLESNAKE BIT ME ON MY HEEL
TURNED AROUND TO DO MY BEST
STEPPED INTO A HORNET’S NEST
CHICKEN IN A BREAD-PAN PIC’N OUT DOUGH
STEP BACK CHICKEN, AND PIC A L’IL MO
TRASHWHITE HAMBONE WHERE YOU BEEN?
PAINTING THE WHOLE DOWNTOWN
TRASHWHITE … RASPBERRY RED, LEMON YELLOW
THREAT LEVEL ORANGE!
CAN’T SOMEBODY FIND ME A CONSPIRACY I CAN BELIEVE IN
… AND PRAY TO THE MAN IN THE TINFOIL HAT
