On February 24, 2012, Rick Derringer walked into a room full of rock and roll icons gathered for rehearsal and blew everyone in sight away, with one of the most electrifying performances, any of the music industry legends had ever witnessed. 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.”

New York Born Hispanic Artist Living In Shadow Of Revolutionary French Le Miserable And Hunchback Of Notre Dame Author Victor Hugo Warns Public Of Threats To Free Speech And Democratic Elections

BRANGELINA BREAKUP AND CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA RIOTS SPARK INTEREST IN PROPHETIC LETTER TO EDITOR FROM VICTOR-HUGO TO NEWSPAPER WITH JENNIFER ANNISTON ON COVER.

On May 1st, 2008, the beaches edition of The Sun Post, covering Miami Beach, North Bay Village, Surfside, Bay Harbor, Bal Harbour, Sunny Isles Beach, North Miami, North Miami Beach and Aventura, featured Jennifer Aniston on the cover, under the headline, “Celebrity Gossip”, stating “Jen’s body is a wonderland”, in reference to rumors of her intimate relationship with John Mayer. Inside the newspaper, distributed to readers with some of the highest per capita wealth in the United States, was a letter to the editor, from the Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II which foretold by nearly a decade, the present state of a nation in turmoil, deciding between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, for Commander In Chief of the world’s most powerful armed forces.

MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR- HUGO VACA II LETTER TO EDITOR

The letter was headlined, “Of Course Lawmaking Attorneys Want To Ban Free Speech”. It read:

“It should come as no surprise to anyone that a proposed law in the state of Florida could ban free speech. The Florida Bar, under the direction of Henry Coxe III, begot the saga of Crackhead Jesus (www.crackheadjesus.com) to avoid threats of censorship from rogue attorneys who make and interpret law for trusting constituents.

To find out exactly who has oversight over the man who determines the standard of ethics and competency for lawmakers in Florida, the offices of Gov. and potential vice presidential candidate Charlie Crist, along with Sen. Mel Martinez and Attorney General Bill McCollum, were contacted. Turns out they were all under the impression that the Florida Supreme Court was in charge of the Florida Bar. Wrong.

It appears government confusion has left the fox guarding the henhouse. Only in the state of Florida is a higher level of ethics and competence expected of Miami panhandlers than of lawmaking attorneys.

The Florida Commission on Ethics has gotten involved since no one in government seems quite sure what to do about this unexpected and embarrassing predicament facing Florida government during this election year.

Government officials appear ill at ease about the whole thing, I assume because they fear a credible news outlet might actually see this as a national news item should Gov. Crist be offered the vice presidential nomination, the death penalty moratorium be removed or more Florida residents, business owners and newspaper readers come froward with allegations that some Florida courts are being used by rogue attorneys to legally extort constituents while no one is watching.

Free speech and justice concerns are things that should make someone go “hmmm” in this election year, which may ultimately be determined by the same system that appointed George W. Bush in 2000.”

MODERN-ART-GONZO-JOURNALISM CREATED BY MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR-HUGO VACA II CONTAINS SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES THAT WARN THE GENERAL PUBLIC OF ISSUES IGNORED BY MAINSTREAM NEWS MEDIA DUE TO CENSORSHIP AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH ADVERTISERS THAT FUND THE BUSINESS OF REPORTING NEWS AND INFORMATION TO TRUSTING MASSES.

Millennials should realize that the death of democracy happened in the year 2000, when the Florida Supreme Court appointed George W. Bush as President of the United States as if he were King, rather than allowing the majority of constituents to elect a Commander In Chief based on popular vote. Biased mainstream media news outlets dismiss, as conspiracy theory, Donald Trump’s valid concern that the electoral process is rigged, however the fact of the matter is, that nothing has changed since this prophetic letter was written, nearly a decade ago, by the man, who some claim is the reincarnation of the world renowned French artist Victor Hugo, who documented the French Revolution, in words and drawings that still resonate as meaningful and relevant, over a century after being manifested in the classic novels, “Les Miserables” and “The Hunchback Of Notre Dame”.

THIS WORK OF MODERN-ART-GONZO-JOURNALISM BY MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR-HUGO VACA II CONTAINS SEVERAL SUBLIMINAL CLUES FOR INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISTS TO EXAMINE JUDGE DONALD W. HAFELE AND THE LITTLE KNOWN, THREE MEMBER BOARD, KNOWN AS, “THE FAIRNESS OF ELECTIONS COMMITTEE”, THAT INFLUENCES AMERICAN ELECTIONS, BUT WHOSE PROFOUND GLOBAL IMPACT, GOES UNREPORTED, BY WEAK MAINSTREAM MEDIA NEWS OUTLETS WHO FAIL TO TELL THE PUBLIC THE WHOLE STORY OF THE U.S. ELECTORAL PROCESS AND HOW IT IS, IN FACT, NOT CONSPIRACY THEORY, RIGGED.

Now, for what he calls, “The Lied To Generation”, the Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II, is documenting the American Revolution, taking place in the new millennium, in modern-art-gonzo-journalism form, for Millennials, to digest and ponder, in the midst of mainstream news media, that has forsaken public trust, in favor of greed, ratings and biased political agendas.

MODERN CIVIL WAR PROPHESY ERUPTS IN USA AS SEEN IN NEW TIMES 2007 ART BASEL ARTICLE

Modern-Art-Gonzo-Journalism Forecast Civil Unrest In America, Fueled By A Breakdown In Public Trust Of Justice System, Government Leadership And Biased News Media, As Seen In New Times 2007 Art Basel, “Crackhead Jesus Is Coming Exhibit”, Article.

In 2007, the Miami New Times, Art Basel issue, featured an article titled, “What Is He Smoking? Victor-Hugo Vaca (II) presents an interesting art event.”

MIAMI NEW TIMES, 2007 ART BASEL ARTICLE, HIGHLIGHTS THE LEGENDARY “CRACKHEAD JESUS IS COMING” MODERN-ART-GONZO-JOURNALISM EXHIBIT, CREATED BY MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR-HUGO VACA II, THAT WARNED THE WORLD, OF AN IMPENDING MODERN CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA, FUELED BY PUBLIC DISTRUST IN NEWS MEDIA AND U.S. GOVERNMENT LEADERSHIP.

The controversial Art Basel Miami week exhibit, manifested by the Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II, as a warning to the world, was witnessed by over ten-thousand global citizens.

DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND AND SOLD OUT CROWDS, THE “CRACKHEAD JESUS IS COMING EXHIBIT” WAS HELD OVER FOR FIVE WEEKS DURING THE 2007 CHRISTMAS SEASON.

The Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II, modern-art-gonzo-journalism exhibit, was the largest and most attended, solo artist show, during the 2007 Miami Art Basel week.

THE INTERACTIVE “CRACKHEAD JESUS IS COMING”EXHIBIT PROPHESIED THE NET EFFECT OF NEWS MEDIA DUMBING DOWN MINORITIES TO INCITE A MODERN CIVIL WAR FOR PROFIT AND RATINGS.

Millennials and minorities with critical thinking skills trust modern-art-gonzo-journalism to predict the future being created by bias mainstream media outlets that censor news and which, in a recent Gallup Poll, have reached an all time low of public trust.

THE ART BASEL MIAMI WEEK EXHIBIT FOREWARNED THAT A BROKEN AND CORRUPT U.S. JUSTICE SYSTEM WOULD HAVE A BUTTERFLY EFFECT LEADING TO A MODERN CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA.

The elaborate multi-media event created by Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II to warn people that, no justice equals no peace, was widely ignored by the mainstream media, offended by the censored “Crackhead Jesus Exhibit” title, but embraced by thousands of people who distrust biased mainstream media and corrupt government.

THE “CRACKHEAD JESUS EXHIBIT” PROGNOSTICATED THE AGE OF DONALD TRUMP AND HILLARY CLINTON IN THE NEW WORLD ORDER FOR THE UNITED SLAVES OF AMERICA.

Blacks and Hispanics, in spite of their oppression in the broken United States education system, are not stupid. Minorities realize that the racist term, “African-American”, perpetuates a false narrative. The African-American myth perpetrated by biased mainstream media and pandering U.S. government leaders, is used to dumb down Americans into falsely believing that, all African-Americans are black. The truth being ignored is, that just as not all Asians are Chinese, not all African-Americans are black. In fact, some white African-Americans are from South Africa and lived through Apartheid, which was fueled by racism and based on Nazi principles.

THE TERM, “AFRICAN-AMERICAN” IS A RACIST INSULT TO ALL AMERICANS BECAUSE IT ASSUMES ALL AFRICANS ARE BLACK AND CREATES ANIMOSITY BETWEEN BLACKS AND WHITES WHO ARE ALL, REGARDLESS OF COLOR, UNITED SLAVES OF AMERICA.

“Why does the media continue to ignore the fundamental problem of what is transpiring in our once great nation? The lack of clear oversight for those who set the standard of competency and ethics for lawyers in the state of Florida and in other states is creating a tsunami of global distrust for U.S leadership and lawmakers who have a special rule of law for the privileged like, Hillary Clinton and O.J. Simpson, and another set of rules and laws for everyone else.”
