The energy in the Sidney And Berne Davis Art Center, went from amazing to beyond intense, when Rick Derringer stepped on stage, grabbed the microphone and belted through a ferocious version of ,”Rock And Roll Hoochie Koo“, that left everyone in the hall breathless. The remarkable moment of Rock and Roll history was captured in a 41×56, work of art titled, “Live-Love-Flow“, manifested by the Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II, who was specially selected as an intuitive artist with synesthesia, to perform with the entertainment industry All-Stars, as part of the Modern Art Music Movement™ (MAMM).

“Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo” by Rick Derringer peaked at 23 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It was first released on the “Johnny Winter And“ LP (1970), with Rick Derringer and the McCoys (#1 “Hang On Sloopy”) backing up Johnny Winter. Derringer decided to re-record the song for his first solo single, on the 1974, “All American Boy“, LP.”Hoochie Koo” is short for “Hoochie Koochie,” which is sexual slang popularized by Muddy Waters in his song “Hoochie Coochie Man”.

Rick Derringer’s clever lyrics subversively imply female genitalia and the act of copulation:

“Hope you all know what I’m talkin’ about.
The way they wiggle that thing really knocks me out.
Gettin’ high all the time, hope you all are too.
C’mon little pussy gonna do it to you.”

Like the Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II, Rick Derringer was raised Roman Catholic and attended a private Catholic school, for eight-years, during his youth. After a time of intense personal struggle, Rick Derringer was reborn in his faith and rewrote the lyrics to, “Rock And Roll Hoochie Koo”, reflecting a less sexual and more spiritual mood:

“Couldn’t stop shouting when it first took hold.

It was an awesome night at the old church hall.

There was an old time preacher he was laying it down.

Heard the word and you know I can’t forget that sound.

Read the word, live it too.

Let the truth be seen in you.”

“LIVE-LOVE-FLOW” (41X56) BY THE MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR-HUGO VACA II, CAPTURES THE UNIQUE MOMENT, WHEN RICK DERRINGER JOINED THE MODERN ART MUSIC MOVEMENT ALL-STARS, FOR A ROUSING RENDITION OF HIS CLASSIC ANTHEM, “ROCK AND ROLL HOOTCHIE KOO.”

HAITI MUSE EXAMINES THE CLINTON FOUNDATION CORRUPTION AND ITS IMPACT ON HURRICANE MATTHEW. How Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton Ignored Conflict Of Interest To Benefit From Tragedy.

In the years following the 2010 Haiti earthquake, The Clinton Foundation reportedly raised $30 million for relief projects, but locals say that the promises made by Bill and Hillary Clinton never fully materialized.

Haitian survivors who trusted, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to make good on her promises, to rebuild, have been left vulnerable and living in shanty structures, six-years after the catastrophic natural disaster. Victims point to luxury hotels that were allegedly constructed with The Clinton Foundation relief funds, to benefit the country’s ruling establishment, as the Category 4, Hurricane Matthew, rumbles towards Haiti, with expected wind gusts of 170MPH.

“HAITI MUSE” (36X48) UNIMPRESSED CAT, INSPECTS WORK IN PROGRESS, BY THE MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR-HUGO VACA II.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, despite the obvious conflict of interest, decided to contract with The Clinton Foundation to provide for the relief effort in Haiti, following the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that left over 316,000 people dead and over 1.5 million survivors, destitute, while struggling with a deadly outbreak of cholera. According to the former Senate President of Haiti, Bernard Sansaricq, The Clinton Foundation stole billions from the Haiti relief fund.

Haitians, like Dhoud Andre of the Commission Against Dictatorship, have accused Bill and Hillary Clinton of duplicity, malfeasance, and theft. “We are telling the world of the crimes that Bill and Hillary Clinton are responsible for in Haiti.” Andre said.

As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, was in charge of allocating the $3.9 billion U.S. aid to Haiti. Bill Clinton was the designated UN representative for aid to Haiti. Together the Clintons controlled the flow of over $14.5 billion in aid donated to Haiti from around the world.

Astute Haitians noticed that a number of companies that received contracts in Haiti happened to make large donations to The Clinton Foundation. Haitian relief deals appeared to be a quid pro quo for filling the coffers of the Clintons.

For the first time in 50 years, Haiti awarded two new gold mining permits and one of them went to the company that had hired Hillary’s brother, Hugh Rodham, who mysteriously found himself on the advisory board of a U.S. mining company called VCS. In October of 2013, despite his never having any mining experience, VCS brought Hugh Rodham on board to help secure a valuable gold mining permit in Haiti. He was promised a “finder’s fee” if he could land the contract and sure enough, with the help of his sister, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, he did.

THIS PHOTO CAUSED “THE CLINTON MACHINE” TO INSIST THAT INSTAGRAM CENSOR AND DELETE THE PERMANENT DIGITAL FOOTPRINT OF THE MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR-HUGO VACA II ON THE POPULAR SOCIAL NETWORK.

The Hugh Rodham mining deal provoked outrage in the Haitian Senate. “Neither Bill Clinton nor the brother of Hillary Clinton are individuals who share the interest of the Haitian people,” said Haitian mining representative Samuel Nesner. “They are part of the elite class who are operating to exploit the Haitian people.”

“Bank of America stole my money and The Clinton Machine censored my Instagram account.” – Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II

WELLS FARGO USURY EXAMINES DANGERS OF TO BIG TOO FAIL BANKS Why Tax Deductible Fines Fail To Stop Fraud Money Laundering And Deception In Banking Business

“Wells Fargo Usury” was created on September 1, 2013 by the Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II. Wall Street banks made billions on securitized subprime mortgages. When the bubble burst 99% of the world population was negatively impacted by the ripple effects. The main culprits have escaped punishment, not one top executive-level banker has been personally punished or lost their job. Tax deductible fines are levied against banks for criminal acts, not prosecutions. The lesson learned is, crime pays for the 1%.

VOODOO ECONOMICS

While lame stream media distracts people by feeding them bread and circus, disguised as news and information, banks labeled, “too-big-to-fail”, are stealing money from customers with impunity, because they can.

Banks steal billions of dollars but only pay millions in fines that are usually tax deductible. So the lesson learned is: crime pays, if you are a corporate entity protected by a corrupt, “pay for play”, government.

BANKS ARE ABOVE THE LAW: TOO-BIG-TO FAIL MEANS TOO-BIG-TO-JAIL AND THAT TRANSLATES INTO FISCAL ANARCHY THAT ENABLES ECONOMIC TERRORISM.

Wells Fargo, the largest mortgage lender in the United States, admitted to deceiving the U.S. government into insuring thousands of risky mortgages and agreed to pay $1.2 billion to put to rest claims that it engaged in reckless lending under a Federal Housing Administration program that left a taxpayer subsidized, government insurance fund to clean up the mess.

Wells Fargo engaged in a reckless trifecta of poor training, deficient loan underwriting and poor disclosure in the government-backed loan program.

ECONOMIC TERRORISM DEFINED IN MODERN-ART-GONZO-JOURNALISM.

Wells Fargo was fined $3.6 million because the bank acted illegally by charging on-time payers with late fees, failed to inform borrowers of steps they could take to minimize fees and left credit report errors uncorrected, which resulted in some misled student loan borrowers paying unnecessary fees.

“Wells Fargo hit borrowers with illegal fees and deprived others of critical information needed to effectively manage their student loan accounts. Consumers should be able to rely on their servicer to process and credit payments correctly and to provide accurate and timely information.”- Richard Cordray, Director Of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

CONTEMPORARY ART MEME

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau assessed nearly $36 million in penalties against Wells Fargo for the banks’ role in a “mortgage kickback” scheme. The financial regulator charged Wells Fargo bank employees with entering into an illegal arrangement with a now-defunct Maryland mortgage title company, under which the title company gave cash, marketing materials and consumer information in exchange for bank business. The CFPB determined in its investigation that more than 100 Wells Fargo loan officers in Maryland and Virginia entered into the illegal arrangement,

“These banks allowed their loan officers to focus on their own illegal financial gain rather than on treating consumers fairly.” – Richard Cordray, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director.

CONTEMPORARY ART MEME

Wells Fargo was fined $81.6 million for failing to provide bankrupt homeowners with legally required notices of mortgage payment increases which denied homeowners the opportunity to challenge the accuracy of mortgage payment increases. By failing to properly notify homeowners, Wells Fargo violated federal bankruptcy rules that took effect in December 2011 that imposed more detailed disclosure requirements to ensure proper accounting of fees and charges on homeowners in bankruptcy.

CONTEMPORARY ART MEME

Wells Fargo, agreed to pay $85 million to settle charges that it falsified loan documents of its borrowers and pushed borrowers into higher interest subprime mortgages even though they qualified for a mortgage with lower interest rates. Over 10,000 borrowers were steered into more expensive subprime mortgages with higher interest rates or had their loan paperwork falsified by Wells Fargo personnel. Wells Fargo personnel were driven to the fraudulent activity in order to meet their company goals required for consideration to receive bonuses.

CONTEMPORARY ART MEME

Wells Fargo agreed to pay a $70 million penalty to settle legal claims over improper activity including the robo-signing of foreclosure documents, faulty payment-change notices filed in bankruptcy courts and faulty escrow calculations. Wells Fargo employees acted as robo-signers to speed up the foreclosure process with falsified or inadequate underlying documentation.

CONTEMPORARY ART MEME

“One would assume the most valuable tool for an artist is in his hands, in reality, however, it is the mind of the artist which serves to create.”- Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II
