THE OTHER PERSPECTIVE 777: 
POET BILLY LAMONT AND BILL POULOS "HEDGE OF THORNS" CD/EP RELEASE FOR EASTER SUNDAY

Poet Billy Lamont and songwriter/musician Bill Poulos are pleased to announce a new poetry with folk music collaboration entitled "Hedge Of Thorns."  There first CD/EP release together will be the self titled "Hedge Of Thorns" and will be released on Easter Sunday by KultureShift Music.  KultureSHift Music morphed out of the electronic/ambient/world music, independent label Mannequin Oddio Media. 

Billy Lamont said, "This CD had to be released on Easter Sunday as we celebrate the ressurection of Jesus Christ!  The poetry and music on the "Hedge Of Thorns" CD is filled with new life blooming and reflects our deep faith in God as followers of Jesus Christ.  As a matter of fact a lot of the poetry I recite is as Jesus speaking first person.  So Lord have mercy on my soul as Bill Poulos and I walk reverantly on this sacred ground."  

Billy Lamont adds,  "This CD is personal and minimal and contains a lot of grace.  It feels like this CD is bigger than all of us and a gift from above.  Bill Poulos and I are very excited about it.  Not sure if my poetry/music/life will ever be this blessed again.  This CD reminds me of a religious tract a Jesus freak might hand someone on the west coast,  in the 70’s,  but much more personal,  intimate,  relevant and resonant for today." 

"Hedge Of Thorns" will be available at CD Baby for $10.  This is the second CD Poet Billy Lamont has released with KultureSHift Music/Mannequin Oddio Media.  The first was "painkiller" a collaboration with Heart Of Darkness and Mayfairgrin in 2006.  Lamont’ previous CD’s have included "billy lamont with the peculiar people" in 2004 and "Into the 21st Century" in 1999.  His book of poems include "strobe light generation" released in 2005 and "The Gallery Of Light" in 1994.

OUR BELOVED FRIEND 'THE FATHER OF CHRISTIAN ROCK' LARRY NORMAN PASSED ON SUNDAY MORNING  

~Poet Billy Lamont said,  "It is with the deepest sadness that I share the news of the passing of one of my most dear and truest friends Larry Norman.  I am sitting here really shattered but know brother Larry is rejoicing with Jesus in Heaven right now,  having a party and receiving a crown.  The private and public Larry Norman has been and will continue to be a great inspiration to me.  You can read Larry's last note below and also other information on his passing on.  Nothing more to say now except I send love and prayers to his family and that I will miss him terribly."~

Larry Norman
4/8/1947 - 2/24/2008

Our friend and my wonderful brother Larry passed away at 2:45 Sunday morning. My wife Kristin and I were with him, holding his hands and sitting in bed with him when his heart finally slowed to a stop. We spent this past week laughing, singing, and praying with him, and all the while he had us taking notes on new song ideas and instructions on how to continue his ministry and art.

Several of his friends got to come and visit with him in the last couple of weeks and were a great source of help and friendship to Larry. Ray Sievers, Derek Robertson, Mike Makinster, Jerry Albertini, Charles Thompson, Tim and Christine Gilman, Matt and Becki Simmons, Kerry Hopkins, and a few more. Thank you, guys. Larry appreciated your visits very much. And he greatly appreciated the thoughts, wishes, support and prayers that came from all of you Solid Rock friends on a daily basis. Thank you for being part of his small circle of friends over the years. Saturday afternoon he knew he was going to go home to God very soon and he dictated the following message to you while his friend Allen Fleming typed these words into Larry's computer:

________________________________

I feel like a prize in a box of cracker jacks with God's hand reaching down to pick me up. I have been under medical care for months. My wounds are getting bigger. I have trouble breathing. I am ready to fly home.

My brother Charles is right, I won't be here much longer. I can't do anything about it. My heart is too weak. I want to say goodbye to everyone. In the past you have generously supported me with prayer and finance and we will probably still need financial help.

My plan is to be buried in a simple pine box with some flowers inside. But still it will be costly because of funeral arrangement, transportation to the gravesite, entombment, coordination, legal papers etc. However money is not really what I need, I want to say I love you.

I'd like to push back the darkness with my bravest effort. There will be a funeral posted here on the website, in case some of you want to attend. We are not sure of the date when I will die. Goodbye, farewell, we will meet again.

Goodbye, farewell, we'll meet again
Somewhere beyond the sky.
I pray that you will stay with God
Goodbye, my friends, goodbye.

Larry
________________________________________

Thank you to all of you who were so nice to my brother over the years. There will be a public memorial ceremony for Larry at 10:00 AM on Saturday, March 1st at The Church on the Hill, 2707 Maranatha Ct., Turner, Oregon, just south of Salem. Here is a mapquest link.

FEBRUARY 1, 2008- THE OTHER PERSPECTIVE 777- U2 IN 3D AT IMAX THEATERS

Poet Billy Lamont said, "U2 In 3D" is a must see experience in IMAX format now if possible for you.  Some of you may know that I'm sort of like a single parent with my 7 year old son Zion.  Last Saturday Zion and I experienced the future of film in New York City in this sacred art sensorary experience of a film.  Acquaintance/friend filmaker Mark Pellinton,  who attended one of my early poetry readings at Kenny Castaways in about 1990 when he was doing MTV promos and the MTV show I was a big fan of  called "Buzz," has always been one of my favorite Directors and Pellington and U2 did an amazing job!  Not only was it one of the most amazing visual experience and cutting edge innovative films in my lifetime but the U2 concert filmed in South America was as brilliant as ever with U2 in top form.  The spirituality and passion U2 expressed through the music, words and performance, that my seven year old witnessed, allowed us to discuss the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr, as a follow up to listening to his speeches together on Martin Luther King Day,  discuss peace and war due to his strong connection with "Love And Peace"  (it may have helped that his name was mentioned in the song as the Biblical 'daughters of Zion') and also overall human rights and living with love and passion.  We even discussed Jesus due to the line 'to claim the victory Jesus won' in 'Sunday Bloody Sunday.'  Of course Zion asked me to buy him an electric guitar after seeing The Edge play.  I had walking pnemonia so the quality time with Zion and concert film gave me a much needed boost to my spirit.  Zion is now asking me on a daily basis to be able to go see the new Scorcese film about The Rolling Stones due to him seeing the coming attractions.  The Rolling Stones have always been one of my favorites but I told Zion he would have to wait a few years and that Dad would have to see those bad boys alone.  Hahaha.  Go see U2 in 3D!  You need to!!!  See you soon"

R.S. Pearson has been writing and publishing for over 20 years. He received his BA in English composition in 1987, and started ParaMind Brainstorming Software in 1992. A long time student of spirituality and psychology, Pearson's works seek to identify the pure spiritual drive that Christ said was "helping widows and orphans in their distress," while overcoming the common judgmental nature which often overcomes people's spiritual pursuits. His two recent books on hyperreligiosity and hallucinations in religious practice key in on two of the biggest problems facing religion today. As well as a prolific author, he also composes and publishes his own classical music.

THE ALARM 777-
"THREE SEVENS CLASH" VIDEO RELEASE!!!


Billy Lamont said,  "Performing and touring with one of my greatest influences,  Mike Peters of The Alarm,  in 1998 is one of my best memories as a performance poet.  Last year I became aware of some video footage that was on youtube.com of a performance we did in California.  I didn't know this video footage existed so it was a real nice surprise for me to see this footage capturing that profound moment in my life so well.  I was taking a big step of faith at that time becoming a full time Poet.  As well as being encouraged by Mike Peters of The Alarm,  I was also being encouraged as a Poet by the late legendary Poet Allen Ginsberg and The Father Of Christian Rock Larry Norman.  Spending time with my friend Mike Peters and watching him perform inspired me to grow spiritually and artistically a great deal.  He is one of the greatest songwriters and live performers ever and an even more true human being.  I have a lot of love for Mike Peters and am very grateful to him.  Also a gigantic thank you to Doug from the Dublin, Ireland band "Indian" for sharing this video. :)"

Billy Lamont said,  "Please support Mike Peters of  The Alarm and James Chippendale and their new Love+Hope+Strength Foundation to help cancer patients.  This Foundation has quickly become a giant and is shining a light on this much needed  area  of cancer relief and  lobbying for funds/helping those in charge of funds have accountability and transparency to assure  money gets to where it is supposed to.   Please check out this link for further information about this important organization and future events such as an upcoming Mount Everest climb:  LOVE+HOPE+STRENGTH FOUNDATION."

Lamont continues,  "The Alarm,  Live,  The English Beat,   Chuck Berry ,  The Smithereens and Fountains Of Wayne just gave a concert in New Jersy called Music Fest 2007 for this great cause.  I wholeheatedly desired to be there but issues in my personal life prevented me from attending.  I did remember the day and festival and especially the foundation in my prayers,  meditations and heart that day.  No Hollywood/Music business bullshit  but  genuine love and prayer.  Just thought I would mention that because I know as soon as this is communicated I will probably get accused of that again. :)  Check out this link for MUSIC FEST 2007."

Lamont concludes, "I've said it many times before but I  want to say it again -  Mike Peters and The Alarm,  in the 80's, 90's and today are the greatest rock band in the world!!!!!!!  They proudly stand beside U2,  The Beatles,  The Rolling Stones,  The Who and Pink Floyd  as the greatest rock bands ever!!!   You need to check out their new videos 'Three Seven's Clash,'  'Fight Back' and 'Alarm Calling' and Cd's 'Counter Attack at their website THE ALARM OFFICIAL WEBSITE.  Thank you for listening.

  WALK ON WATER VIDEO "A GAME OF CHESS WITH LOVE"- BILLY LAMONT 1988

BILLY TRAIN STATION
"Billy Lamont at a train station at 4:20 AM in NY 4/07"
Photo By HARDCORE SHUTTERBUG


Poet Billy Lamont said, "As I mentioned on July 7th I will be releasing some video footage from my archives to youtube.com for you to check out and enjoy once a month.  The first video is from 1988 with a band I was in called Walk On Water and the video is entitled "A Game Of Chess With Love." 

Here's the link:
WALK ON WATER VIDEO- POET BILLY LAMONT 1988

Lamont continues,  "Walk On Water was an independent East Coast band I formed in New York when I was very young.  Walk On Water received national exposure when I appeared on the nationally syndicated "Religon And Rock" radio show in October 1988 and played Walk On Water music along with some of my inspirations.  "Religon And Rock" originated out of the classic rock radio station WBAB FM that I listened to growing up in my hometown of Babylon/North Babylon,  Long Island.  The video "A Game Of Chess With Love" followed on the heels of this success and aired on various NorthEast of the U.S. cable television shows in late 1988 and early 1989."

Lamont continues,  "When a friend from MTV liked the song and told me I could use  his professional video camera for one day and another friend who was an upcoming video Director/Editor from MTV said that he was interested in doing the video I dreamed up the idea.  I felt strongly to shoot the video on the same ground that there was a satanic ritual murder of a teenager in Northport, NY a few years before.  The ritual murder was a big national news story all over the media.  At the time of the murder I remember visiting this town several times and walking out on the pier and sharing my faith with people of the town.  When the opportunity came to me to do the 'A Game Of Chess With Love'  video I was living in East Northport and just thought 'I have to do this with Walk On Water on the same ground that this satanic ritual murder occurred and help show that the Spirit of God  and Jesus  and love is still alive and not just the spirit of death and satan and that Northport is such a beautiful town.'  I thought 'Why is bad news good news in the media?'  I think this video helped redeem that ground and helped restore some the dignity of that town.  Of course good news was not that big news and the video and my comments were only covered in local Long Island media." 

Lamont shares, "The 'A Game Of Chess With Love' song lyrics I wrote using chess as a metaphor for the games men and women play against each other in relationships carried over into the video script I wrote.  I thought then and still think now that it is such a shame that many times love relationships today are almost like business contracts where you better do this for me to do that for you instead of lovingly sacrificing for the other person in compromise to meet their needs.  Or worse yet destructive,  selfish power struggles can develop in love relationships."

Billy Lamont finishes, "Walk On Water was Mike Cruz on keyboards/background vocals,  Paul Dunkley on guitar/background vocals and Jeff Kozyra on drums.  I was the lead singer.  Mike Cruz and I are the most active band member of Walk On Water.  Mike Cruz now goes by the name M-Cruz and you can check out his latest project Upward Spiral at the following myspace.com link:  M-CRUZ MYSPACE.  The beautiful Debra,  my longtime significant other,  not sure if she is going by the last name of Amonick now or not,  was featured as the actress/model in the video.  Hope you enjoyed this chat.  See you soon.  Love and life to you"

"Billy Lamont on top of Empire State Building, NY"

Poet Billy Lamont said today,  "In celebration of  July 7, 2007,  777,  God's holy numbers,  I would like to publicly rededicate my life and art to God and announce the next phase of my  poetry and music.  Welcome to  'The Other Perspective 777'!!!!!!!"

Lamont continued,  "As the first phase of 'The Other Perspective 777' I will be releasing a video to youtube.com from the first band I was in when I was a kid called Walk On Water and also choose a radio appearance from my archives to help share my roots with fans,  friends and those who don't understand me.  Then I will be releasing one video footage and one radio show from the archives once a month for the next year.  This may include some new podcasts.  I think this will be fun and will also help show the scope of my artwork career so far as well as mark this time for the great things coming in the near future."   

Lamont said,  "'The Other Perspective 777,' like my underground and above ground art has been in the past,  will feature and be for the well known as well as the unknown; to help give a voice to those without a voice.  For the poor,  the handicapped,  the widows,  the rejected,  the underdogs,   the peculiar people,  to help give hope to people,  to encourage dignity,  uphold the sacredness of life, exorcize demons, seek and share truth and beauty that will inspire visitors to live by love and help redeem ourselves and our world."

"As the second phase of The Other Perspective 777 I would like to give a number of my first book of poetry "The Gallery Of Light" books to homeless people,  orphans,  widows,  the sick in hospitols and those in jail as a free gift,"  Lamont said.   

According to Lamont,  "As phase 3 of The Other Persapective 777 I will be doing a soon to be announced live gig with the band His Mighty Robot in my hometown of Babylon/North Babylon for free.  That means everyone who wants to attend can."

Lamont concluded,  "See you soon.  It's two minutes to midnight.  Live The Other Perspective 777!"

 POET BILLY LAMONT'S NEW RADIO SHOW WILL BEGIN BURNING UP THE NEW YORK AIRWAVES  ON  SATURDAY,   JULY 7,  2007
***CANCELED***  (Read Below- Press Release not released)

Poet Billy Lamont said,  "I would like to share with you that I have been privately praying and dreaming up a new radio show entitled "The Other Perspective 777"  for WLIX radio.   I heard the call to debut this show on July 7, 2007, a day that I consider to be holy and celebrates God's holy numbers 777. :)  However I have never received the telephone call to okay my pilot show and it is now early evening on July 6th. :(  Not sure what is happening but I am sure the radio station is very busy.  Unfortunately I was so excited about the show (I also desired to look after my personal life) that I left my entire summer open from tour dates nationally and so on starting at least a month ago,  so I could focus the little energy I have left,  after personal disasters,  into the radio show.  In short the vision for this show was to give a voice to the voiceless through spiritual,  postmodern music and also conversation to help inspire reformation in this area. 
There is a spirit of religion,  rather than spirituality and relationship with Jesus,  in this region,  that I have been battling against for many years.  It manifests itself in bigotry towards artists,  intellectuals,  people that make music that aren't a part of certain church/Pastor conservative cliques or subculture.  People forget that for example Gospel music came from black slaves and that God is the creator and has empowered us to create all kinds of music.  Anyway God bless WLIX radio.  WLIX currently reaches 2.5  million homes on Long Island, New York.   Wish I had more exciting news.  This show was really cool.  I will be announcing some new News shortly.  Happy 4th of July 'Independence Day' everyone.  Thanks."

POET BILLY LAMONT GIVES TESTIMONY OF HIS FAITH IN JESUS IN NEWLY RELEASED "DIVINE INTERVENTION" BOOK

Billy Lamont said,  "I am honored to give testimony of my faith in Jesus Christ and a miracle healing I received on Thanksgiving Day a bunch of years back in my good friend Daniel Fazzina's first book 'Divine Intervention.'  This book includes such a diversity of people from different cultures/subcultures and backgrounds sharing their stories including many people I am fortunate to call close friends like Mike "Wolfie" Van and Steven Delopoulos of Burlap To Cashmere and many others.  I recommend this book highly.  I can't put it down and have been reading it almost non-stop since I first received it a few days ago.  Fazzina is also the host of the "Divine Intervention" radio show on WLIX radio and will be giving a book signing for this book in Bethpage, NY on Friday.  To buy this amazing book see the Press Release below.  Thanks.  Love and Life to you."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Everyday Miracles Pay Homage to Divine Providence 
God's hand at work in the world, as evidenced by powerful personal testimonies 
 
Middle Island, NY— Moses parted the Red Sea. Peter healed a man born lame. Jesus calmed a raging storm, healed paralytics, and drove demons out of people. The Bible contains some incredible stories of miracles and divine interventions, but are these types of events still happening today? The answer to this question, detailed in Daniel Fazzina's Divine Intervention: Amazing True Stories of God's Miracles Today—Volume I ($17.99, paperback, 978-1-60266-485-2), is an emphatic yes! Contained within the book is a collection of amazing true stories that attest to this fact. You will read astonishing firsthand accounts of people who have been healed of paralysis, brain tumors, and AIDS through prayer. You will read of a tsunami stopped in its tracks in the name of Jesus. You will witness the liberation of the demon-possessed and much more. 
 
"The testimonies are true, amazing, and provide unmistakable evidence that God is still intervening in people's lives today, just as He did during the time the Bible was written," says Fazzina. "They are from people with diverse cultural and denominational backgrounds from all over the world who give glory to Jesus for their experiences." 
 
The topic resonates with Fazzina on a personal level, too. More than four years ago, he was healed of a painful chronic back condition and a large cancerous tumor in his chest. The doctors said he could be dead within a matter of weeks, but God had other plans for him, and now he is "an ordinary man [who] can no longer deny there are miracles happening every day." 
 
Daniel Fazzina's radio program, "The Divine Intervention Show," can be heard Sunday evenings at 7 p.m. EST on New York's WLIX or streaming over the Internet on www.wlixradio.com. He lives on Long Island, New York, with his wife, Sahani, and their pit bull terrier, Cynthia. 
 
Xulon Press, a part of Salem Communications Corporation, is the world's largest Christian publisher, with more than 3,900 titles published to date. Retailers may order Divine Intervention through Ingram Book Company and/or Spring Arbor Book Distributors.

RADIO SHOW ON SUNDAY AT 7 PM.
 

Billy Lamont said, "This is the most personal I have ever gotten in an interview talking about the origins of my faith and becoming a follower of Jesus Christ. I feel it is time to talk about this private part of my life in a public forum and wanted it to be with my friends Daniel and Sahani Fazzina on their wonderful new 'Divine Interventions' show." 
 
Lamont continues, "One of the many reasons I want to talk about this now is because of some lies/spiritual attacks upon me and my 6 year old son Zion and Jesus said in The Holy Bible that the way to overcome darkness and evil manipulations of this world is to take authority spiritually by the precious blood of Jesus and the word of your testimony." 
 
Lamont finishes, "In addition to this intimate interview with Daniel and Sahani Fazzina I have personally selected some of my poetry with music for this show. The songs I selected are not my best poetry, music or sound recordings but ones that fit the very personal content of the program and the conversation."

POET BILLY LAMONT'S PERSONAL ACCOUNT OF LOVE HOPE STRENGTH FOUNDATION
"EMPIRE STATE ROCKS" EVENT

Billy Lamont said,  "Mike Peters of The Alarm is one of the greatest, most important songwriters/performers in the history of rock and roll.  Mike is an even greater  person and real friend.  He is a beloved,  true brother.  Attending the 'Empire State Rocks' event at the Empire State building and after party at Terra Blues has moved and inspired me deeply like Mike's  music and friendship has for many years. 

Glory was in the air that day!  Like God himself was smiling through the storm clouds of the most intense rain storm and most severe NorEaster that has ever hit the New York area.  It felt like demonic principality's were being cast away and there thresholds were being broken in the New York area like never before.  With the first notes of Mike Peters singing The Alarm hit song "Strength" on top of New York's tallest building,  the Empire State Building,  it was apparent and sensed by me that a new day was dawning and has arrived filled with hope and healing.  It was only moments later that the mist and heavy clouds surrounding the observation deck would clear and you could see the amazing view from up there.

This Poet felt healing pulsating through his own boby and own being and spirit as I attended the event with the intention of  lending a hand to help serve Mike,  his family and his new foundation but I received much more than I gave.  As I was on the top of the Empire State Building looking out over New York City through clearing storm clouds I pondered my own misfortunes in the past months/years that have touched every area of my life.  Severe personal problems touching everthing I love and care/cared about- current health problems and ones that should have killed me in 2004,   financial destruction and every other kind of attack to me,  my family,  and my few possesions and humble living space.  &
