Elroy tossed the brick. He was gone in a flash, gifted runner, star football player, quite proficient vandal who loved to sneak about smashing rich white folks things, getting away with daring wreckage each night. In school he was popular without trying, muscular and good looking, smart and perceptive, the only black kid able to consistently nail white cheerleaders. He was outwardly polite and tactful, beaming care and love to disguise self serving, two faced ways of achieving the goal; nailing popular white girls. He was rarely caught in outright hypocrisy, possessing a flair for open confrontations that stopped detractors in hesitation, drawing others into lies and deceptions. With rich parents, able to invest heavily in rap groups, amassing a small fortune and recording company while still a junior in high school, Elroy bought a brewery, initiating glossy ad campaigns aimed at very young people. Obsessed with inebriation, he bought drugs, mostly cocaine, and used the power of addiction to further control women and subjugate men. He corrupted church people with lavish treatment, slowly ruining lives with tricks of status and appearance, recruiting star athletes to make public presentations at anti drug and alcohol centers while stoned and drunk, subtly ridiculing the process. His teenage modeling company international, provocative ads prominent around the world, pubescent lingerie contests entertained rap concert crowds.
At twenty,
incredibly successful and cynical of all things
good, he
grew kind of bored, whiling the days
away
playing
basketball, planning party and new conquests
of virtue, content for now amassing
capital, poised for a new thrust into the taxing
task of conditioning the herd like mental
reflexes that
are the
collective consciousness of bourgeois
humanity. He smiled in thoughtful
contempt.Irving
Hokum was pissed. He
hated
life, hate women, hated "Well, the creek was a'risin' real real fast and me and Mary Jane was about to git gassed just talkin bout our kinfolks and our pastsss (an gigglin alot) under the bridge is where I wuz drinkin more wine with my sweet cuz yeah I forgot we'ze kin whin we both caught a buzz (yeah, you know, I forgot) Now Mary Jane is the type that knows she's ripe but likes to bitch! (I bet' You Know! What I mean) Her friends come at church up front they perch they pretend they search (they pretend they're clean) I freaked the hell out of half them girls Well they ain't so clean on Saturday night they ain't prim or proper or dressed in white but they are superstitious and you know they're tight! (Mary Jane was) Well I'd see her friends when I was cat fishin' hungover from a night of well wishin' And I'd think that church is a supersuperstition (either that or they had a keg) So there we wuz with the water gettin' higher makin' us hurry forbidden desire and run like rats for someplace drier (We had to finish the wine, too)"
Irving was master of the crowd, bending guitar strings in charismatic, whimsy manners, smiling goofy, swaying in hypnotic dance: "Now Mary Jane liked the way I made our aunts laugh by imitatin' a new born calf and gulpin' down three plates and a half (them calves is fun) That’s when she started liking me and hiding around to watch me pee yeah, yielding to curiosity, (and the wine) Cos the truly mean girls with the curves and curls and diamonds and pearls are the ones that tease won't haul yore hay less you walk this way and watch what you say and remember, always say please (now here’s my advice) Don't say please on Saturday nite when they ain' t prim or proper or dressed in white but they are superstitious and you know thats right! (yeah, rightous! Supersuperstition)" Irving was evil in the worst way, selling his soul to the devil at age ten to get good at guitar, playing for drugs at the local veterinarians house, kicking with long haired organic thieves and crew cut militant racists, biding time in these backwoods, killing hours, forgetting all about love and kindness. These traits would not serve him well in the world he wished to destroy. Cult followings grew quickly as inner cities embraced him. At age twelve known throughout the eastern mountains, promoters set him up with regional bands, billing him as the Electric Christ. At thirteen advertising genius Elroy Jetson sponsored an underground tour, short sets at random spots on the globe. By fourteen blooming on the national scene as Phalse Profit, Irving preached for the devil with country speed metal anthems and masterful crowd manipulations. Often he was paid with models and drugs, scorning cash and respectability. He sang of rape and murder and discrimination and hatred, captivating listeners with hideous deathly vocals changing to mockingly sweet even as he fried and strangled guitar with lightning fast fingers that never seemed to miss; or at least, if they did, he covered mistakes up, swinging into new riffs dreamed even as he played, always original, never covering other artists songs. At age sixteen he was banned in North America, handled by Elroys marketing company White Beer, touring incognito and underground in stolen fleets of jets, landing on freeways and impersonating different law enforcement agencies to confuse cops, using powerful lawyers and bodyguards to keep out of jail, doing satellite or internet shows from third world countries, committing heinous acts on stage, vowing to destroy civilation and encouraging violent overthrow of governments. Already building secret empires, networks of terrorists and desperados ready to annihilate. The second album, Warship the Devil, spelled out abstract and hidden meanings his plans for the planet. His prophecy would not be false.
