Mendelson Joe believes that speaking out can make a difference, that women are the only hope for the future, and that there's truth in a good blues song; he doesn't believe in God, compromise, or schmaltz. Bringing together some of the best of Joe's artwork, along with extensive interviews with the man and the people who know him, this book explores the world of this unique musician, artist, activist, and avid writer of letters to Canadian politicians and editors. Some of his writings extol that which fascinates himthe female body, motorcycles, rabbits, nature, art, and musicwhile others deride that which angers himthe stupidity of humans, the treatment of women by men, and racism. Joe also tells of touring the world with his blues-rock band, Mendelson McKenna Mainline, in the early 1970s, sharing stages with burlesque strippers, and discovering a passion for art after rescuing a set of acrylic paints from a garbage can.Joe, Mendelson is the author of 'Alien The Strange Life and Times of Mendelson Joe' with ISBN 9781550224269 and ISBN 1550224263.
