This site is devoted the work of Knox Bronson: composer, writer, singer, artist, sculptor, video-maker.

Of course, he is writing these very words, right this moment, with that weird disassociative feeling one gets when one writes or talks about oneself in the third person.

But Knox knows that you, the reader, his audience, wants the big story, not the little story, not the homey, falsely modest and unassuming journal-like essays you find at the sites of most of the other wannabe's on the web. So Knox suffers this cognitive disjointedness to enhance your, the reader's, experience at this site. As Van Gogh told Gaugin, one must suffer for art.

Van Gogh also said, on his deathbed, just before he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, "The sadness goes on forever." 

And I think at this point, I should revert to first person.

I wrote this about my old site, Instrumentality,:

One day I will figure out a way to promote this site. I've never quite figured out its [this website's] purpose other than to share whatever I've been working on. Some men pursue money as the ultimate goal and measure of man. I've always liked girls better. And my art. And anybody who appreciates my art. But that doesn't work very well in the real world. So be it.

SunPopBlue is here to change all that, kids, my droogies, my brothers and sisters!

It's a strange thing, when one thinks about communicating directly to one's "audience." Part of me says,"Let the art say it all," while another part says,"MySpace has changed everything. People want to know, want to be a part of, want a peek behind the curtain."

Warhol said,"If you want to know about me, look at the surface of my paintings. They are all surface."

He was quite a joker. Warhol was at once as opaque and transparent as could be possible in the realm of art and words and, perhaps, most importantly, his own image in the realm of public perception.

Andy didn't have to worry about the internet. I wonder he would have done online. Going to think about that.

This site is a drug-free and guru-free zone. Knox grew up in the sixties, a fourth-generation West Coast lad, and came of age in the seventies.

He partook freely in the pursuit of sensation and elation through much of those decades and beyond and has, unfortunately, seen far too many of those closest to him fall into the abyss, too often with fatal consequences. Suicides, overdoses, car crashes, all manners of drug and booze related death has Knox witnessed close at hand. As well as plenty of generic insanity.

Knox himself has been booze and drug free for over sixteen years.

Knox is not anti-drug. Knox is, however, pro-sobriety, but has no problem with earth-people getting drunk or high or whatever it is they do on occasion. Knox is not preaching: please feel free to use any of the drugs he somehow missed in the old days, as well as swill any booze he failed to drink.
