Steven Solomon is a
writer, artist, and futurist. He is a long-time collaborator with
various members of the Notorious Hooligan Band, both as a
lyric writer and companion on the Road. You may also know him as the
biographer to the infamous criminal neurologist, Professor Anton
Saurian. At present, Solomon continues research toward the definitive
collection of the Professor's writings, Fever Dreams: The Secret Letters of Anton
Saurian, long suppressed and yet to
find a publisher.
Mr.Solomon is
married to the redoubtable Arlen Gould, children's author, educator
and life-long student of learning.
Among the
offerings provided here are several hyperlinks that you may find of
interest. Subjects include Mr. Solomon's colleagues and associates,
as well as items of musical, cultural and social import. If you have
a link or two to offer, we would be happy to hear from
you. If you would care to examine a few
examples of Mr. Solomon's computer-mediated Rock&Roll art-work,

bandwidth hogging, graphics sodden experience.

his way.
If there is a doctor in the house,
perhaps you can tell him how to get that thing out of his
ear.

A 1965 phtograph alledged
to show Professor Saurian while on the lam from his Soviet
overlords. The former Neurologist to Josef Stalin had by now
seen his radical theories of consciousness expansion and
life extension via cerebral injection of chemicals derived
from the pituitary glands of human cadavers officially
discredited. It is rumored that during this period, he was
hounded by Bulgarian assassins under the direction of the
Soviets.
According to one theory,
Saurian soon made his way to London and there, under the
guise of a wealthy but mysterious socialite, introduced the
Beatles to eastern music, pyshcedelic drugs, and John Lennon
to Yoko Ono.

Coleman

cosmic theoretician. It is said that he actually did discover the

and inscrutable.
