Hapas. Writers. Artists. Innovators. Sound-producers.
Space-cadets. Radicals. Revolutionaries. Surrealists.
Situationists. Anarchists. Mystics.
Visionaries. Personalities. The Jaded. The Bored. The
Sarcastic. The
Enthusiastic. The Spastic. The Esoteric and the
Obscure.
Anyone willing to scorn this sham called the empirical world.
