Rustyy Kryystyylz (sp?)

The following is an excerpt from an email sent from Art to Will on 12 September 2013. 

Peter came up with the above name for some reason and I'm envisioning him as some outsider guitarist during Arthur White's divorce period.  I am imagining someone who looks a little like a cross between a young Leon Russell and Kid Rock (isn't that basically who Kid Rock is trying to look like?).  He may be a cult member.  Maybe you (and/or you as Will Witkowski) aren't in the band.  Maybe this is Apotheosis.

The songs for this hypothetical show would be darker than dark.  They would have a semblance of normal chord progressions, but diverge in gut-wrenching ways, sort of like an Emily Dickinson "ballad."  

Some songs would be:
  • Tell Me Why (You Took Away My Children)
  • The Fall
  • Agniesczka's Theme/Steel Driving Man
  • Tokyo Nights
  • Arthur White Theme
  • Rusty Kryystyylz
If we move forward at all in our new situation, I'd like to have a somewhat freewheeling approach to this universe.  One great spin-off would be action figures and, in order to do that, you need to populate the universe with a blinding array of characters and plot lines.

Another dream: I want to have a contemporaneous, "real time" show with Boogie Bob Baldori, whose son I know.  That's probably a long shot, but I like the idea that it's kind of like the 2012 Elton John/Leon Russell album.  Right now, he's traveling around promoting his documentary Boogie Stomp.  It would certainly add credence to the story to have a show like that.
