Product Description
For every rock and roll success story there are a thousand tales of failure, but none are as odd or inspiring as that of Houston's Black Math Experiment. Four years of busting genres, bomb scares, religious protests, toilet paper cannons, adulation, and out and out weirdness made them legends in their own time. Told by singer Jef With One F, a former hypnotist, transvestite, and luchador turned rock star, "The Bible Spelled Backwards Does Not Change the Fact That You Cannot Kill David Arquette and Other Things I learned in The Black Math Experiment" is a hilarious look at life at the bottom of the music industry where those who dream of stardom will try anything to succeed. And at the heart of it all is the story of how a sarcastic hymn to b-movie actor David Arquette made six misfits almost famous. Whether you're a Black Math Experiment fan, or one of the countless millions who've stood shoulder to shoulder in a dive bar cheering on your own local heroes, this is THE book for those who swear that rock will never die. ...

this book made my one friend gay.
i loaned this book to my one friend, tom, and he said that even tho he's not gay, he'd sleep with you. your book gayed him up. so you've got that going for you, which is nice.

Ahead of Their Time
Not so long ago, in the Bayou City lived a group of musicians whose creative outlet was called The Black Math Experiment.Unfortunately, they suffered the same fate as so many other great acts to come from Houston.The locals just didn't "get it".I myself didn't either, but I sure enjoyed the performances that they put on.

This book is simply genius.Sometimes humorous, sometimes sad...but always entertaining.I would highly recommend this to anybody who can read, period.

Survival Manual for Aspiring Musicians
You need to read this book if you've ever BEEN in a band - and you definitely have to if you're FORMING or JOINING a band. I am a 21+ year sound engineer and studio operator, and I have to agree 100% with the authenticity and realism of this story. The good and the bad, all have happened to every band I've worked with (although not necessarily in the same way ex: David Arquette).

The best book about the weirdest band you've never heard
Perhaps you've heard The Black Math Experiment, perhaps you haven't... that's part of the thrill of real rock n' roll. Put aside mass radio play and sold out stadium shows - there's nothing like standing shoulder to shoulder with friends and strangers in a dive bar and for a few glorious minutes be swept up in a frenzy of music.

Besides being about a band, this book is an awful lot like such a show. It's real, it's personal (sometimes VERY personal), free of pretension and glamour, but full of raw energy and well, hope. It's a story of trying for the impossible, even when life punches you in the face... or just ignores you. It's a wild ride that is far too bizarre to be a work of fiction and the man behind the steering wheel is perhaps the most unlikely rock star you'll ever meet, with a voice you simply can't ignore.

It's one man and one band, spilling their guts all over the tiny, dirty stage - just for you. Sometimes that involves being showered in streams of toilet paper, unwrapping a set of pirate costume accessories tossed at you from onstage, or being asked to sing the "Time Warp" in your pajamas. I know because I was there, at least for some of it... standing shoulder to shoulder with friends and strangers and being swept up in the immitigable energy and sheer madness that was The Black Math Experiment. It's all true, every last word. I still have the eyepatch.

"I'm baking Toll House cookies Moth#RFuc#ers!!"
From the moment I read that line, I was hooked.I set my expections low when I picked up this book, hell I didn't even buy it for myself but for my wife but I figured I'd read it too.Being from Houston and also being raised in Galena Park I new very well from where Jef with one F came from and could relate to him on I think on a higher level then most.This book is well written and even though I've never been in a band (and after reading this book, I'm sure glad that I never was...) Jef with one F really made you feel like you were part of BME and in this you feel bad when things go wrong and you feel joy when things go there way (which isn't alot).

I would recommend this to anyone who likes a good story and I really enjoyed reading this book... ... Read more
