RECOMMENDED

If you've enjoyed this site and need to waste more of your obviously not-to-precious time, here is a sampling of some of jc's favorite web sites. Espousing the greatness of his influences or trashing the landscape of mother hypocrisy, these are the places jc goes for a chuckle. He has not only provided jamescampion.com with comments on these sites, but a blurb on why he enjoys them and the persons or subjects they cover.

 

Satire and Merry Disinformation

Literary Champions

  • Bookazine - My hearty distributors.
  • Phenix & Phenix Literary Publicists - My hearty publicist.
  • The Great Thompson Hunt - This is the best of all the Hunter S. Thompson sites. A real tribute to the greatest living American author. Hunter's motivation and influence on my work is immeasurable.
  • Gonzo - Another great place to discover the good doctor.
  • Kurt Vonnegut - An official site of America's greatest living novelist. His fiction has inspired a generation of satirists. To what generation I hail is not clear, but he is one of my heroes.
  • Anais Nin - An excellent way to discover and celebrate one of the finest women writers of the 20th century. She has also been a great influence.
  • Henry Miller Library - The official site for Miller's work in Big Sur with a worthy tribute to the master. I discovered Miller after my literary love affair of Anais Nin took me there. But he's really my wife's favorite.
  • Mark Twain - Great quotable page.
  • Alan Watts - The Man's web site.
  • Joseph Campbell Foundation - Offical site for preserving the master's work.
  • Charles Bukowski - Complete tribute the master of "balls firmly pressed to the wall" style of writing.
  • Thomas Wolfe - You can go to his homepage again.
  • Ken Kesey - Psychedelic mayhem from the master.
  • Bohemian Ink - Excellent home for the memory of the Beats and their ilk. BYO turtlenecks, berets, and bongos.
  • The Beat Page - Exhaustive bios on the Beats writers.
  • City Lights Bookstore - The Mecca of Beat literature.
  • Coolbooks.com - Underground and out of bounds.
  • Hungry Head Books - Feed your head with one of the more interesting and alternative books stores on line.
  • Hack Writers - A happy contributer to all things author. Great reads. Check it out.
  • American Publishing Network - A fine outfit that published a charity book for the victims of the WTC disaster, which includes two pieces by jc.
  • Everything History for Students and Teachers - Excellent source for background info on all subject matter and research, displaying my Elvis Presley influence piece.
  • Monsters & Critics - A fine literary review source.

Lunatic Fringe

  • Al Quagliata - He's brash, he's beautiful, and he's a clearly insane performer, comedian, actor and friend.
  • George Carlin - This is the king's actual site which he personally updates and peppers with true grit. Carlin was the first person to open the world up at its core and show me that dissecting it has its advantages.
  • Lenny Bruce - Extensive, exhaustive and fun to peruse; although there isn't an official Lenny Bruce site, this suffices. Bruce's work and story were my introduction to the importance of cherishing the right to say whatever you believe despite the always harrowing results.
  • Woody Allen - A definitive site about the greatest living American filmmaker and incredible storyteller. Never fails to make me laugh, think and feel something through his work. Never miss an opening of his films in New York City. One of the few pleasures life assures.
  • Andy Kaufman - When life becomes a satire, you have to give it up. Can't say an influence because who could attain such lofty insanity, but certainly an inspiration. Extraordinarily vast amount of knowledge here.
  • Tom Green - God bless this lunatic. We need more like him. This is an official site and not affiliated with any MTV bullshit.
  • Abbie Hoffman - Hell of a tribute to one of America's most wonderfully annoying activists.
  • The Simpsons Archive - The best Simpsons web site ever. These guys are nuts. Extensive and exhaustive. Worthy of the best satirical television show of all time.
  • My Part of The Thing - This is a very creative show by very creative young men that ran in the New York area during 90s' on local television. They made fun of me often and have clips on this site doing so. I also did a promo for them, appearing on the video section.
  • Generation Jones - If you are NOT a Baby Boomer OR a Generation X member, and were born from 1954 to 1965, please visit this home of the brave and be counted.
  • Camp Chaos - The finest in animated mayhem with a twist and bite. Huge fan.
  • The Parking Lot Is Full - Horribly twisted, hillarious and guilty cartoonists.
  • The Romp - More fun to waste your time.
  • Doodie.com - Don't ask, just doodie.
  • Essential Media Counterculture Catalog - Best of the different available on the web.

Musical Luv

  • Tasty Reckless - Songwriting duo with pizazz.
  • DogVoices - The DEEP TANK is still full. Although Pete and Chris are no longer part of the dog pound I will always appreciate the boys in the band and their rabid following for being the subjects of my first book. Must be seen to truly appreciate. God bless their lunacy.
  • The Nerds - Also a great source of material for my first book, but in order to fully tell the story of New Jersey's finest band it would take volumes. Long live The Nerds!
  • The Monster - Submit to the gang and become a willing "angry villager" now!
  • Paddy & The Pale Boys - I play with these loons occasionally. Great Irish punks!
  • Dan Bern - Favorite new songwriter. I consider him a compatriot and friend.

  • New Jersey Rocks - It does. Best source for all those bands still filling the DEEP TANK.
  • Counting Crows - Official site for the best band in the world right now.
  • Counting Crows Shrine - A wonderful, exhaustive tribute.
  • Pete Townshend - When God has a site up, you go to it.
  • petetownshend.net - Excellent source for archived Pete material, interviews and such.
  • Quadrophenia.net - THE source for all fans of this spiritual masterpiece of music and sentiment. I have said many times how much this music meant to me in years when rebellion and lonliness were badges of honor.
  • Ani DiFranco - This is a concise, informative and worthy tribute to my favorite little folk-gal.
  • Righteous Babe Records - Ani's official site.
  • Sinead O'Connor - A partner in championing spiritual and hypocritical frustrations.
  • Warren Zevon - The Captain forever.
  • Bob Dylan - Official site for the father of the unending musical ramble.
  • Woody Guthrie - Foundation and archive for America's poet.
  • Randy Newman - Jovial purveyor of the ugly and demented.
  • Patty Griffin - The Voice of God with great chord changes.
  • Melissa Ferrick - The real deal in every way.
  • Elvis Costello - Wise-ass symphonies.

  • Eric Hutchinson - Funny, talented, and a must-see live.
  • Daniel Johnston - The man, the myth, the genius.
  • Ramones - Here to go to relive.
