Busdriver: The Avatar of ‘Less Yeses, More No’s’ in the Era of ‘Yes, We Can’
Ben Bush04.10.09
If Obama’s historic ascendancy and the recent month long bull run has extended November’s sense of euphoria of ‘yes we did’ and that all is well again in the world, just remember there are still some Cassandras out there, dissenters like Los Angeles based hip hop artist Regan Farquhar, a.k.a.

A strange setting for one of the giants of Weird Fiction.
