Declaration to the Mad Ones of 11.05.08!

Dearest Joe and Jane Mad One’s...

On this day after 1st Wednesday, Mad Swirl dedicates this to those who gave their mad spirits so that madness might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we do this declaration

Thank-you to the insane nation, under-ground, that swirled together in madness – on the open mic of the mad ones, by the mad ones, for the mad ones.

The truth was self-evident - that all poets, musicians, singers, storytellers, comedians, and performers are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are their poems, songs and the collective pursuit of madness!

Monumental thanks to the mad one’s of 11.05.08 (in order of appearance)...
