In his own words, unedited: What Is The Apollo Program? In 1993 after leaving Cranbrook, I got fired from Elektra Records. I guess my ideas for the european release of "The Eagles Greatest Hits" weren't quite what they were looking for. My inability to "fit in" with the rest of the art dept. might of had something to do with it(?) I opened my own "studio." I designed type, wrote some music, shot video, posters... then I put out this package "Throwing Apples at the Sun." I made a ton of money! I decided to keep a few clients, cause I liked them. (I guess they liked me too.) Then I made these gold boots, and drew a big portrait of Malcom X. And I got a speed skating suit. I figured out how to hook them all up to the computer. I started to perform at HERE in soho. SHEEESH. Then I got a call on the telephone... it seems I won this "emerging artist" grant from the Wooster Group (you know, Wilem Dafoe's's company) and boy the phone started to ring off the hook! (Like out of a movie.) I've been performing all over. The "exit" festival outside Paris was the best. Then I got a real studio with recording gear'n what not. I'm working on a few top secret projects. (But not for the government or anything)....I still work for clients if they're real cool'n what not. - Elliott Earls |
