the peculiar people:

Legendary singer/songwriter Larry Norman
Billy Lamont writes, "Larry Norman.......brave innovator, ghetto street preacher, Christian Rock and Roll Father, my west coast brother.......
a blond ray from the sun."

Poet/Philosopher/Musician Robert Pearson at Creative Virtue.
Billy Lamont's cover blurbs for Robert Pearson's recently released books:
-"'Lushness Of The Soul' is a brilliant prose masterpiece. This is how Arthur Rimbaud would have sounded if he had spent a season in Heaven instead of "a season in hell." It's like language has been raptured and been reborn through Robert Pearson's pen. Extemely skillful word craftmanship. He is a true genius!" ~Billy Lamont~

-"Virtuism: Philosophy and the Aesthetics of Virtue"-Like Tristan Tzara's Dada Manifestos and Andre Breton's Surrealist Manifestos, philosopher/artist Robert Pearson delivers a unique defining work for his Virtuism philosophy. Virtue is giving to others without expecting anything in return, acting from character, from who you are, not how you feel. I am a virtuist and am proud to consider myself a part of Pearson's Virtuism art movement. This book is a work of virtue and deserves a place of honor next to Tzara and Breton on my bookcase and yours too!" ~Billy Lamont~

John Bembenek of Jerky Medicine
Billy Lamont says, "Enjoy the easy listening, dumptruck in a blender sound of this rock band. No matter my disease or your ill, take a pill of ....... Jerky Medicine

Beth Magazzo's artwork at Higher Ground Visual Arts
Billy Lamont writes of Beth Magazzo's artwork, "visionary dreamer sense the intuitive abstract spiritual, the essence of beauty, the essence of light."

Mike Peters of The Alarm
LBilly Lamont says, "Mike Peters solo and with The Alarm is one of the great songwriters of our time. His words and music bleed with pure soul. The Alarm is one of the greatest live bands of all time!!!!!!! Unfortunately they are also one of the most underrated rock bands and sometimes pigeon holed as an 80's group when they are actually one of the most talented and relevant bands of our time. I believe this is the season where The Alarm will claim their well deserved crown!!!!!!!

Patti Smith

Patti Smith 2

Peter Garrett of Midnight Oil

Midnight Oil

the late Allen Ginsberg

Burlap To Cashmere
Billy Lamont says, "Burlap to Cashmere's CD "Anybody Out There" for A & M Records is a favorite of mine. I keep it in the car and listen to it often. It is like modern folk music combined with traditional greek music. Steven Delopoulos is a remarkable songwriter with a great sense of melody and a unique voice. I love his solo CD "Me Died Blue." Also his guitar playing along with his cousin's Johnny Phillippidis is outstanding and brings the house down at live performances every time."
Steven Delopoulos

Bob Dylan

Dave Sharp of The Alarm

M-Cruz

Billy Lamont says, "M-Cruz is an excellent street level artist with a servant/leader heart for people. He is a long time freind that I have had the honor of collaborating with from when we were kids in the band Walk On Water making the music video "A Game Of Chess With Love" with filmaker/MTV's Paul Andriello to M-Cruz mastering (along with Jeff Bruce of The Way Sect Bloom) my "Into The 21st Century" CD. M-Cruz is a professional as a performer and Producer."

Scott Perry -comments on Lamont

Scott Perry- Filmaker

Dose Of Reality: Episode One "Roots: A Conversation With Poet Billy Lamont" a Scott Perry video/film coming in early 2005.

"Scott Perry is a young filmaker with a tremendous amount of drive and potential as a Director/Writer that I am proud to count among my family of friends. I knew him just as he was starting out and experimenting with films and Scott would videotape some of my first perfromances of "the gallery of light" in 1997/1998. His talent was evident then and all the hard work is becoming fruitfull now. Keep an eye out for this guy's films," Billy Lamont comments.

Decendant
Billy Lamont says, "You have to check out Decendant's outstanding electronic music artistry. It is an honor to collaborate with him from time to time. I am also happy to share that True Force Productions has recently helped promote my recent book signings and will help me with booking some dates in the future. I'm honored to be a part of this friendship."

The Serial Poets
"Steven J. Messina is an amazing poet and photographer. Steve was one of the first professional photographers to photograph me and a few of his photo's are in my first above ground book "The Gallery Of Light." Some of them can be viewed at Flickr.com. I invited Steve to recite his poetry for an audience for the first time, I think in 1994, at one of my performances where he received great press. Later I encouraged him to start a band with his many talented friends. I didn't realize until the other night when Steve mentioned from the stage at CBGB's as he was blowing everyone away with a showstopping performance that I was the catalyst for him forming his long lived band The Serial Poets. No great feat really.... I just see great potential in him then and now. Viva The Serial Poets....kick ass, non pop, pure punk rock!"
