Avoiding Godot

by Chris Chandler

For many years, Chris Chandler has been the best spoken word artist in America. combining humor and outrage,wit, candor and a golden tongue, he has created a character as old as the hills and as new as the latest No Passing Zone sign.Chris chandler has made the highways of America his stomping grounds and his mythology.

Like many roving teller of tales, he has come to town, regaled it,challenged it, transformed it--and then left as mysteriously as he came upon it, onward to another room of hungary listeners, another crashed-on-couch, another meal of Slim Jims and gas station hot dogs, and stories upon stories upon stories.

These are not messages to comfort you in your repose, to sooth you while you sink further into couch-potatohood, but rather exhortations to act, to think,, to question, yes --to rise up--against wrongness,unfairness,injustice, lack of felling, lack of understanding.

Like Woody Guthrie, these are cries for the downtrodden, the marginalized,the undefended.

These pages are not flat. They rise like cornbread.
