mongo Brad Prince Mongo... A guy in memphis that has weird colored hair, claims to be from another planet, and runs bars that sell alcohol to underaged teenagers. Nobody knows his real name. He runs for mayor and then city council every year. He is the political Sun Ra. 000802 ... grendel also the home planet of ming the merciless but then neither has the Arkestra playing behind them 000802 ... Brad Indeed, space is the place. Although one of my favorite Sun Ra Arkestra albums would have to be "cosmic tones/art forms of dimensions tomorrow." Furthermore... check out Ra's saxophonist John Gilmore. Possibly the main influence on John Coltrane, and listening to Gilmore the link is unmistakable. 000802 ... Kevin well... Mongo has a real name... and it is Robert Hodges. He has goggles, bones and an old Rotweiller, from what I hear... he is a Memphis fixture and a real stick in the mud for local politicians who are too narrow minded to have a laugh and maybe at least listen to him. Sen. Steve Cohen works against him unfairly and he gets a bad rap from very boring people. 001011 ... Brad Got yer email kevin. Yeah, it seems I had heard his real name before... sounds familiar. How do you know so much... are you from memphis, too? 001011 ... Barrett Fat cat on "Heathcliff" 001011 ... Brad Barret: wasn't that Mungo? 001012 ... Barrett Sorry, my bad. 001012 ... green eyes When I was only 3 or 4, my grandma got me pair of monkeys, at a yard sale. I named them Mongo and Mongo Punk. Mongo Punk was the girl. They both had velcro hands and feet, so they could stick together. Mongo lost one of his eyes. I always felt bad for him. I still have Mongo and mongo Punk sitting in my room. Man.. I love those monkeys.... 020612 ... Sailor Jupiter Mongo only pawn in game of life. 020612 what's it to you? who go blather from
