NEWLY DISCOVERED PHOTO of me and the
Car Shields Cars Go Farther Guy!!

Tom Bolema (Beefbone Music) and I wrote the rap song for my documentary “Justiceville”. Ice-T took an interest in the project and was kind enough to record a version. Here’s a photo from that session. (Ice-T in the center with his arm on Tom’s shoulder, I’m behind Tom, and Ted Hayes is on my left. Unfortunately, I can’t ID the gentleman on either end of us).
We ended up using a version recorded by HollyWatts (Roger Guenveur Smith) in the documentary.
