The Temporary Home Of The John “Chauncy Berry” Seabury Fan Klub

Hey look, gang! My cousin was nominated for a Grammy! Way to go, John! Gee, I wish someone had told me EARLIER (ahem); I would have cast my precious Recording Academy vote for him, but you know, Billboard was all on about Madonna’s packaging, I mean her PACKAGING, because if you noticed the whole damn […]

I’ve added one more picture to the Death Valley series 🙂

The Museum of Weird Consumer Culture
