When he needed shelter, I housed him. When he needed food, I fed him. One day, Mr. Bill called to ask a favor of me.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe All Stars are getting together again, would you like to be part of the reunion?\u201d He asked.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I recalled the thrill of being on stage, in front of thousands of cheering fans in Fort Myers, Florida, using my gift of synesthesia to interpret wavelengths and frequencies of music in color on canvas, with rock &amp; roll legends, who collectively, sold over half a billion records worldwide.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cIs it going to be like the first time?\u201d I asked.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>\u201cYes.\u201d He answered. \u201cOnly this time, it will be to benefit handicapped children. My girlfriend\u2019s son has autism. He attends the Able Academy in Naples. I wondered if you\u00a0wouldn&#8217;t\u00a0mind working with them the day before the\u00a0show at the school. The band is going to be there and so is FOX News. At the concert, I\u2019ll make sure the stage is set up properly. If you don\u2019t mind, we\u2019ll bring the kids up and let them paint with you during one of the songs.

I\u2019ll tell Mr. Bill I\u2019m bringing you as my guest and you can stay with me at the beachfront mansion he\u2019s renting for the band.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cYou sure it\u2019s going to be alright, remember, I\u2019m Kosher, what about Shabbat?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201c Dude, they\u2019re rock legends, not anti-semites.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cAlright, I\u2019ll buy my ticket to fly down to your Labyrinth of Creativity on the beach near Miami.

Prior to my interview, on a show titled, \u201cOut Of The Haze with Bryan Hayes\u201d, I was introduced to Snow, a Canadian Reggae Musician, whose song, \u201cInformer\u201d, has been recorded twice in the \u201cGuinness Book Of World Records\u201d as the best selling reggae single in U.S. History, as well as the highest charting reggae single in history, after spending seven consecutive weeks at Number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1993. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I signed an autograph for Snow\u2019s daughter talked to his manager, invited them all to the event in Fort Myers and next thing I knew, I was being asked intimate questions about my career as a \u201cmaverick artist\u201d on a soundstage, in front of a television camera. According to Todd, who watched the show on a monitor backstage, the half-hour interview was \u201cperfect\u201d. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Outside, the weather was beyond nasty, torrential downpours and lightning strikes peppered the day and were forecast deep into the night. My trip across Alligator Alley to Fort Myers would be a dangerous journey. Thunder struck as Todd and I exited the television station, making a mad dash for the rental car, through deep puddles, under umbrellas that failed to keep us dry. Soaked, we began our adventure to the west coast of Florida, in the name of charity.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Halfway over the treacherous road that cuts through the Everglades, I received a text message from Mr. Bill advising me that Skunk Baxter, formerly of the Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan, had arrived at the Fort Myers beachfront mansion with his grandchildren, which meant there was no room for Todd and I. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>There are no U-turns or exits on Alligator Alley, it\u2019s one- way in and one-way out so, we had no choice but to stay the course. The weather was grave, as we drove cautiously through the darkness of night with little road visibility, in spite of glaring high beams, that only shined light on our immediate predicament. I could not respond to Mr. Bill\u2019s untimely message in the midst of such severe weather because of our remote location, in the middle of the Everglades, which offered no cell phone reception.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>After a grueling five and a half-hour road trip, Todd and I made it to Mr. Bill\u2019s home near the Henry Ford and Thomas Edison estates in Fort Myers. My cell phone battery was dead, so I knocked on the door and asked Mr. Bill\u2019s housekeeper to notify him of our arrival. I smiled at Todd, when I noticed the framed painting of, \u201cCristomujer\u201d, which I had personally signed and gifted to Mr. Bill when he last stayed at my home as a houseguest, hanging prominently on his living room wall. Todd and I looked at framed photographs of Mr. Bill standing side by side with every single United States President since Richard Nixon and other notables in the music and entertainment world, as his voice carried over the cell phone speaker of his house-keeper.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cDon\u2019t send them over to the beach house.\u201d Mr. Bill said, unaware that he was on speakerphone.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cShall I set them up here?\u201d The housekeeper asked, with an embarrassed look on his face.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cNo! Let them sleep in the fixer-upper.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cBut, there\u2019s no beds or furniture, there\u2019s no hot water or locks on the doors. Are you sure? There\u2019s plenty of room here.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI don\u2019t want them staying at the house, do what I tell you.\u201d Mr. Bill said firmly before ending the call abruptly.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI thought you said this guy was your friend?\u201d Todd asked.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cHe is.\u201d I said, with a confused look on my face, as I dripped onto Mr. Bill\u2019s wooden floor in front of his housekeeper, who looked back at me with pity.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThere\u2019s a mattress in the garage. The garage is full of junk. If you guys help me, we can take the mattress out, put it in my truck, and you both can sleep on it over at the fixer-upper.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>An hour later, after wiping cobwebs and spiders off a stained mattress in the middle of a thunderstorm, we arrived at what appeared to be a crack house near the Edison Estate in Fort Myers. There were no blinds, shades or window treatments for privacy. Puddles riddled rooms in fluid Rorschach shapes from leaks in the ceiling. A blood red stain covered the kitchen floor in the manner of a human body drawn by Keith Haring, which made the place appear like a crime scene.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;You&#8217;ll have to climb through the window.&#8221; Mr. Bill&#8217;s housekeeper announced before exiting through the dank garage.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;I thought I heard you say there was no locks on the doors.&#8221; Todd interjected.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Well, I don&#8217;t have keys for the padlocks used to secure the front and back exits, so, you&#8217;ll have to climb through the window if you really got to get out, otherwise, just come and go through the garage.&#8221; Mr. Bill&#8217;s housekeeper said in visible breaths that sliced through the pungent smell of mildew permeating the carport. &#8220;Doors broke, so it&#8217;s always open.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Are you serious?&#8221; Todd asked, looking at me sternly.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cOh, and the toilets don\u2019t work.\u201d Mr. Bill\u2019s housekeeper paused before adding, \u201cAnd, I\u00a0wouldn&#8217;t\u00a0drink the water either, it\u2019s brown.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Todd and I were out of there, back into the storm, without a place to rest, hours before I was supposed to perform for handicapped children in Naples and thousands of classic rock and Boston Red Sox fans in Fort Myers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>After Midnight, we showed up at the beachfront mansion, where we were initially supposed to stay. I called Mr. Bill, to let him know we were outside but he\u00a0didn&#8217;t\u00a0answer the phone. Minutes later, he responded\u00a0with a text message that read, \u201cYou can\u2019t stay here. Don\u2019t ring the bell, you\u2019ll wake the band\u201d. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Todd and I stared in disbelief, through buckets of rain being scattered by windshield wipers, at a huge RV that could easily sleep a dozen people, parked outside the beachfront mansion, while I contacted my manager to explain the situation. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cCan you find us a hotel?\u201d I pleaded.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Half an hour later, my manager called back to say that all hotels in the Fort Myers area were booked. She said she would try to find us a hotel within a hundred mile radius and call back once she had secured a room for us. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>In that time, Todd received a call from his friend, who had just finished performing at the VH1 fashion show in New York City, he was on speakerphone, so I could hear every detail of how awesome the event was and how amazing the star-studded after-party was going. I slumped into the seat as Todd stared down at me. I felt like such a shmuck.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cWhy don\u2019t you guys fly over on the red eye? There are hot models everywhere! I\u2019ve got a suite at the Marriott Times Square for the weekend, the party\u2019s just begun!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Finally, around 2 a.m., my manager called with reservations for a hotel in Naples, not far from the Able Academy, where I was supposed to arrive at 8 a.m. to rehearse for my 9 o\u2019clock performance with the All Stars in front of FOX News cameras and a roomful of handicapped children. The hotel was about two hours away, according to the GPS. It would cost me $287.00 to rest my head for a few hours, or I could hop on a flight with Todd and be in Manhattan, cavorting with A-list celebrities and models all weekend. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cIt\u2019s up to you.\u201d Todd said. \u201cI can drive us to the airport or to the hotel. Mr. Bill doesn\u2019t sound like a very good friend and I don\u2019t think he\u2019s going to honor his word. Let\u2019s cut our losses and get out of here.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cYeah, but I promised these kids. My manager says they\u2019ve been studying my work for weeks and are looking forward to meeting me.\u201d I answered, not sure why I cared, since, I don\u2019t have children of my own and I much prefer partying with women than I do playing with kids. My instinct told me to get on a plane to New York and live like a party animal for the weekend but my heart told me to do the right thing and stay for the youngsters at the Able Academy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Darkness shifted from crimson to amethyst before turning azure in the heaven above, shining a bright light in my eyes through the window shades, as the alarm went off, two hours after falling asleep. Todd stayed in bed; there was no waking him up. My brain was mush from lack of rest and my body ached from being trapped in a car for over ten hours. When I arrived at the Able Academy, the director of the school told me that Mr. Bill had just called to inform her that the All Star Band was not coming and since the band had cancelled, FOX News decided to abort the affair as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I had never worked with handicapped children before in my life. Without a clue, I told the director of the school to follow my lead and we would make something special happen for the rising generation. I determined the disabled kids would get a MAMM Jam, with or without Mr. Bill and his All Star Band. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe show must go on\u201d, I thought, through all the confusion. So, I grabbed some canvas, paints and brushes, out of the trunk of my car; found a radio and some strobe lights and hustled into the Able Academy as a text message from my manager came in, reminding me not to be late for the \u201cBoston Strong MAMM Jam\u201d , honoring victims of the Boston bombing at the Boston Red Sox Spring Training opener in Fort Myers at noon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I told the school director that I only had two hours before having to rush over to the stadium. She said it wasn\u2019t enough time to spend with all the kids and that they would be disappointed because they had spent weeks examining my work in anticipation of my arrival. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I suggested doubling the number of youngsters I would work with at a time and she said that would be impossible because mentally handicapped children could be uncomfortable and unpredictable in large groups. She warned me that even with the most experienced of teachers and professional counselors, they could get violent or unruly. I told her we didn\u2019t have a choice and so my spontaneous adventure in art therapy with the special kids at the Able Academy began.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>CHAPTER TWO <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>BOSTON STRONG<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7560 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/victorhugocollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Ed0BostonStrong38x713-1-14WorldSeriesRedSoxFtMyersFL2Tryptich-183x300.jpg\" alt=\"ART VICTOR HUGO VACA JR\" width=\"183\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/victorhugocollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Ed0BostonStrong38x713-1-14WorldSeriesRedSoxFtMyersFL2Tryptich-183x300.jpg 183w, https:\/\/victorhugocollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Ed0BostonStrong38x713-1-14WorldSeriesRedSoxFtMyersFL2Tryptich.jpg 332w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 183px) 100vw, 183px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Boston Strong Created Live at the Opening Game of \u00a0Spring Training for the World Series Champions, \u00a0Boston Red Sox at Jet Blue Stadium, Fort Myers, Florida, March 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAll interesting artists are autodidacts.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 Massimiliano Gioni<\/p>\n<p>In\u00a0some Italian provinces, the word \u2018artist\u2019 is a synonym for dunce.\u00a0 An artist must walk a tightrope between being perceived as \u00a0an \u00a0illustrious nobody or a famous intellectual by critics disguised as cultural sycophants in an arena filled with smoke and mirrors. Being a creator is not a career for fragile egos, so to be a virtuoso, one must have thick skin.<\/p>\n<p>I have been called all sorts of things by critics, not all of them complimentary, but I survive and my work will live on, long after my corporal being exits this plane of existence, in the expanding multi-universe.<\/p>\n<p>In 2005, after performing a MAMM Jam with Rhythmm Epkins, drummer for \u201cThe English Beat\u201d, and founder of \u00a0the R&amp;B \u00a0funk \u00a0group, \u201cMind, Body &amp; Soul\u201d, \u00a0to \u00a0raise \u00a0money \u00a0for \u00a0the \u00a0mentally handicapped, at a sold-out show in Bakersfield, California, where the first five rows were reserved for the mentally challenged, who were the most appreciative audience I have ever had the pleasure of performing \u00a0in \u00a0front \u00a0of, I became known, by some critics, as, \u201cVictor-Hugo: The Artist of Retards\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>When I performed MAMM Jams during 2009 Art Basel Week in Miami, Florida to sold-out, standing room only crowds attending the infamous, \u201cCrackhead Jesus: The Second Coming Art Exhibition\u201d, at the \u00a0\u201cBuck 15 Gallery Lounge\u201d \u00a0on \u00a0Lincoln Road, \u00a0a large group of women from Weight Watchers joined me onstage while I painted the unique moment on canvas, at which point, I became known, by some critics, as, \u201cVictor-Hugo: The Artist of Fat Chicks and Retards\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Some \u00a0call \u00a0me, \u00a0\u201cThe Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo\u201d others \u00a0call \u00a0me, \u00a0\u201cThe Maverick Meatball\u201d. Whatever \u00a0the \u00a0case, \u00a0I\u2019m \u00a0happy. \u00a0However, as I am an artist\/activist birthed from a business background, \u00a0I&#8217;ve \u00a0come \u00a0to \u00a0notice \u00a0that artists are often treated like \u201cThe-Retards-of-the-Business-World\u201d instead of sober-entrepreneurs, \u00a0by \u00a0some \u00a0ignorant \u00a0top \u00a0brass. Though, thankfully, not all influence makers exploit an artists\u2019 passion, those who choose to dim the light instead of fueling the soul, manifest dark energy that fills the multi-universe, all this, in spite of knowing that entertainment is, in fact, like any other business, an industry that must flow perpetually, in balance of soul currency, to exist infinitely.<\/p>\n<p>Art is not cheap to create. \u00a0It \u00a0takes \u00a0effort, \u00a0ingenuity and time and since time is money, if I had a Bitcoin, for every time someone, like Mr. Bill, told me, \u00a0\u201cWhy don\u2019t you perform for free, it\u2019ll be good exposure?\u201d or, \u201cHow about giving me one of your paintings, for free, to hang in my mansion, so all my filthy-rich friends can see your work, while smoking weed?\u201d\u00a0 I\u2019d be a tycoon of Rothschild proportions.<\/p>\n<p>Do these unenlightened moguls ask Doctors to perform surgery for free or ask lawyers to satisfy their legal issues, free of charge, because it\u2019s good practice?<\/p>\n<p>I \u00a0don\u2019t \u00a0think \u00a0so. \u00a0An \u00a0artist \u00a0must \u00a0always \u00a0risk \u00a0failure, \u00a0for failure \u00a0is \u00a0part \u00a0of \u00a0the \u00a0process \u00a0but that\u00a0doesn&#8217;t\u00a0mean creators should accept the status quo\u00a0of double-dealing in business matters or any other affairs. An artist has class mobility, for that reason, particularly in a disturbed society, a virtuoso must ask the right questions, open consciousness, raise awareness and elevate minds.<\/p>\n<p>An artist should serve mankind, for that reason, humanity should not become complacent with the profiteering of an artist because a true artist can be childlike forever and the exploitation of children is \u00a0detrimental \u00a0to \u00a0any \u00a0culture \u00a0pursuing \u00a0Enlightenment. \u00a0Some muddled \u00a0people \u00a0feel \u00a0the world\u00a0doesn&#8217;t\u00a0need artists because art\u00a0doesn&#8217;t\u00a0meet\u00a0our basic needs to survive but that\u2019s bogus; art fuels the soul\u00a0currency of human capital that trumps any banknote or material treasure.<\/p>\n<p>These thoughts raced through my aching head, as I prepared to meet my audience of special children at The Able Academy in Naples, Florida, hours before my gig with the All Stars at the Boston Red Sox Spring Training Opener in Fort Myers, Florida, to honor victims of the Boston Marathon bombing. As if taunting my choice of career, the outstretched, blank canvas, measuring 36 x 71, clipped to the front of a long table turned on it\u2019s side, resting atop another elongated table, stared back at me, screaming, \u201cFail! Fail! Fail!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve heard people say that animals can sense fear and weakness. I don\u2019t know what experts say about children with autism but I can tell you this, the moment the Able Academy director opened the door, to let kids into the room where I stood vulnerable, feeling helpless and alone in a cruel world, a beautiful boy ran to me, clasped my knees lovingly and looked up at me like a cherub in a chapel. I felt such overwhelming affection from the pint-sized angel holding a tight grip on me that, in an instant, all the negativity and cynicism inside of me washed away like the Great Flood. I fought back tears in that abstract moment that seemed to last a lifetime because I did not want to break down in front of the celestial beings surrounding me.<\/p>\n<p>One by one, frail angels entered the room, coalescing in the ecstasy of colors, dancing freely with paint and brushes in their tiny hands as they guided me through the purity of love being expressed on canvas without shame, guilt or remorse.\u00a0 I noticed one child slumped in the corner with his face in his hands. He beckoned me with magnificent eyes that stared at me through the cracks in his fingers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u201dWould you like to paint with us?\u201d I asked, as I knelt down before him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cArt has power.\u201d He said, letting his guard down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, it does.\u201d I said as I placed a brush in his hand. \u201cShow me what you can do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBelieve in your greatness and it will be the death of your creativity.\u201d He said, taking my hand in his and leading me to the canvas where we melted into the void of color alongside the other offspring.<\/p>\n<p>The joy was so intense, time flew by the way magic moments do and before I knew it the unique experience was over. I said goodbye to the kids, packed my equipment, called Todd, who was patiently waiting outside the hotel after having checked out and assured him I was on my way to get him for the hour-long journey to Fort Myers.<\/p>\n<p>He reminded me that we were running late.<\/p>\n<p>Before leaving, the stunned school director asked me how I had managed to get the catatonic child to speak. \u00a0She \u00a0said \u00a0it \u00a0was \u00a0a \u00a0miracle \u00a0because \u00a0the \u00a0juvenile \u00a0never \u00a0spoke \u00a0to \u00a0anyone. \u00a0I \u00a0told \u00a0her \u00a0I communicated with respect and dignity. The innocent confided in me that the adults\u00a0didn&#8217;t\u00a0understand them and\u00a0didn&#8217;t\u00a0pay attention,\u00a0which\u00a0frankly, was no surprise to me, since out of the mouth of babes comes truth and most adults can\u2019t handle the truth, which is why some adolescents choose to stay silent.<\/p>\n<p>Traffic was at a crawl, leading up to the stadium in Fort Myers.\u00a0 It seemed all of creation had come to cheer for the World Series Champions at the Spring Training Opener. My manager had coordinated for the Boston Red Sox to sign the painting created with the Able Academy children, for the artwork to be auctioned off in their benefit but when I got to the stadium, \u00a0Mr. \u00a0Bill \u00a0chastised \u00a0me \u00a0for \u00a0my manager doing so, claiming she had overstepped her bounds, \u201cIt\u2019s my show, damn it!\u201d\u00a0 He stated indefatigably before adding, \u201cHurry up, you\u2019re late! The band goes on stage in 10 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is your friend?\u201d Todd said, looking at Mr. Bill with disgust and me with sympathy, as Mr. Bill\u2019s girlfriend Melissa approached me with open arms and a huge smile.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh my God! I heard you got my son to speak, I wish I could have been there.\u201d She said holding back tears.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy\u00a0weren&#8217;t\u00a0you?\u201d I thought to myself, sinking into her warm embrace\u00a0while Mr. Bill stared back at me with contempt that I could not explain.<\/p>\n<p>One by one, the All Stars embraced me before going on stage. I was reunited with members of Bon Jovi, Boston, The Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan, The Wailers, Third World, The James Brown Band and Foster Child, none of which were aware of the harrowing experience that had preceded our moment in time before the Boston Red Sox fans in Fort Myers. Like the victims of the Boston bombing, I was determined to carry on, undaunted by adversity, and so I did, creating \u201cBoston Strong\u201d alongside music industry titans, in front of a live audience on February 28, 2014.<\/p>\n<p>The painting, \u201cBoston Strong\u201d, is signed by Bon Jovi\u2019s bass player, Hugh McDonald; Fran Sheehan, the former bassist and original member of the band Boston; Barry Goudreau, guitarist and original member of the band Boston; Leroy Romans, former keyboard player for Third World and The Wailers; Robert \u201cMousey\u201d Thompson, drummer for the late James Brown; Danny Beissel of the band Foster Child; B.A.M. (Bad Ass Musician) and Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>CHAPTER THREE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>THE HYPOCRISY OF PHILANTHROPY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7530 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/victorhugocollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/hypphilanthrtoo9-300x152.jpg\" alt=\"Victor Hugo Art\" width=\"300\" height=\"152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/victorhugocollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/hypphilanthrtoo9-300x152.jpg 300w, https:\/\/victorhugocollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/hypphilanthrtoo9-600x304.jpg 600w, https:\/\/victorhugocollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/hypphilanthrtoo9-800x406.jpg 800w, https:\/\/victorhugocollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/hypphilanthrtoo9-768x390.jpg 768w, https:\/\/victorhugocollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/hypphilanthrtoo9-1024x520.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/victorhugocollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/hypphilanthrtoo9.jpg 1407w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Philanthropy is great but some charities are a sham whose only purpose is to make money for the producer of the fundraiser. Most charities are legitimate but others exploit children, veterans or the handicapped by using paid fundraisers whose fees eat up most of a donation through loopholes, so very little money is actually shared with those most in need.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, total giving to charitable organizations was $335.17 billion. Hundreds of charities claim to help the disadvantaged but how much of the money raised actually goes to the cause being donated to and how much cash goes to the fundraiser?<\/p>\n<p>The answer, unfortunately, is almost nothing goes to the motive. Even if regulators try to shut down unscrupulous fundraisers for fooling donors, most operate without fear of reckoning because mainstream media, that survives on the public trust of its audience, has accepted exploitation of the underprivileged as status quo and therefore under reports the fact that very little money makes it to those who need it most when it comes to fundraising.<\/p>\n<p>Case in point, the story of Charles Runnells, who covers arts and entertainment for The News Press in Fort Myers, Florida. When asked to research allegations of fraud by an alleged scammer in his community, focusing on specific causes like handicapped children and disabled veterans to play on the generosity of his readership, Mr. Runnells dismissed the accusation, as not worthy of his time for a thorough, in-depth investigation.<\/p>\n<p>If you are thinking about giving to a charity, beware of fundraisers who: refuse to provide detailed information about identity, mission, costs and how donations will be used; won\u2019t provide proof that a contribution is tax deductible; use high-pressure tactics in shaming you to donate; refuse to provide proof of percentage of donation actually going to the charity; refuse to provide forensic accounting of how much money will be going to the fundraiser, after expenses; are not registered with the state as a charity or fundraiser.<\/p>\n<p>If you think you\u2019ve been the victim of a charity scam, file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission or contact your State Attorney. There is no glory in being a stooge. Stand strong in the face of adversity. Your action can help detect patterns of unscrupulousness that may lead to investigations and prosecutions.<\/p>\n<p>I wrote some of what you just read on canvas, in front of Red Sox fans, during my performance at the Boston Strong Modern Art Music Movement (MAMM) Jam in Fort Myers, FL. When I\u2019m on stage, I enter a trance, filling the void with colorful letters that swirl into words that dance in syncopation to the wavelengths and frequencies of sounds that surround me, manifesting sentences that educate audiences in a cacophony of coloring that provides a foundation, for the work of art created to serve as a historical document of the event, for future generations to consider, and digest, in light of the fact that, if you tell the truth, you don\u2019t have to remember anything, because truth is imprinted on the canvas of life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>CHAPTER FOUR<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>NEWS PRESS, MR.

In 1914, Walter Williams wrote \u201cThe Journalist\u2019s Creed\u201d. Essentially, it reads:<\/p>\n<p>I believe in the profession of journalism.<\/p>\n<p>I believe that the public journal is a public trust, that all connected with it are, to the full measure of responsibility, trustees for the public, that all acceptance of lesser service than the public service is a betrayal of trust.<\/p>\n<p>I believe that clear thinking, clear statement, accuracy and fairness are fundamental to good journalism.<\/p>\n<p>I believe that a journalist should write only what he holds in his heart to be true.<\/p>\n<p>I believe that suppression of the news, for any consideration other than the welfare of society, is indefensible.<\/p>\n<p>I believe that no one should write as a journalist what he would not say as a gentleman, that bribery by one\u2019s own pocket book is as much to be avoided as bribery by the pocketbook of another, that individual responsibility may not be escaped by pleading another\u2019s instructions or another\u2019s dividends.<\/p>\n<p>I believe that advertising, news and editorial columns should alike serve the best interests of readers; that a single standard of helpful truth and cleanness should prevail for all; that supreme test of good journalism is the measure of its public service.<\/p>\n<p>I believe that the journalism which succeeds the best and best deserves success fears God and honors man; is stoutly independent; unmoved by pride of opinion or greed of power; constructive, tolerant but never careless, self-controlled, patient, always respectful of it\u2019s readers but always unafraid, is quickly indignant at injustice; is unswayed by the appeal of the privilege or the clamor of the mob; seeks to give every man a chance, and as far as law, an honest wage and recognition of human brotherhood can make it so, an equal chance is profoundly patriotic while sincerely promoting international good will and cementing world-comradeship, is a journalism of humanity, of and for today\u2019s world.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that was then and this is now. In the internet age of NBC News Director, Brian Williams, being everywhere but in reality, journalist\u2019s hide behind clips of kittens, puppies and laughing babies trending online, while wiping their asses with the Journalist\u2019s Creed, which is why, I fused Hunter S. Thompson\u2019s gonzo journalism with Salvador Dali\u2019s style of impregnating subliminal messages into psychedelically-poetic-cryptic works of art, to create modern art gonzo journalism for The Lied To Generation through the Modern Art Music Movement (MAMM).<\/p>\n<p>The twenty-four hour news cycle is brimming with cross-legged beauties wearing little more than big smiles while flashing their stately pair of gams for the camera\u2019s voyeuristic gaze as teleprompters feed them the horrific news of the day, before thanking rainbow colored pundits tripping over themselves to avoid saying, \u201cYou\u2019re welcome\u201d, in response to the inviting news anchors gratitude for joining the staged broadcast. Instead, we as audience witness talking heads state, with great inflection intimating courteous one-upmanship, \u201cNo! Thank <em>you<\/em>, for having <em>me<\/em>, on your program.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One can only imagine the number of viewers who masturbate while watching the news, in a world where titillation has replaced fact and, on that note, with a long, hard stroke of my thick, wet brush I finished painting \u201cBoston Strong\u201d in front of an open-mouthed audience in Fort Myers, Florida, that was begging for more. Alas, there was no encore from the All-Star Band, at the Boston Red Sox Spring Training Home-Opener. The eager crowd got what they deserved and from the satisfied look on their faces, they loved every moment of the MAMM Jam experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat the hell was that?\u201d Mr. Bill asked, when I got off stage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cModern art gonzo journalism.\u201d I answered, nonplussed. \u201cI paint the news.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank God it wasn\u2019t one of your DNA Series.\u201d Mr. Bill shook his head in disgust and walked away muttering. \u201cSperm painting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey Bill, where am I staying tonight? I don\u2019t have a place to rest and last night cost me three hundred bucks out of pocket. What\u2019s up?\u201d I asked the back of Mr. Bill\u2019s head.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll talk about it later.\u201d Mr. Bill answered, without turning around. \u201cI\u2019m busy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At that moment, I remembered a rumor about a friend of mine who plays with The Cars, J Geils Band and The Bellevue Cadillac. Allegedly, Mr. Bill had asked the beloved musician to join the All Star Band for a gig on Wall Street to raise money for wounded veterans but when it came time to reimburse the artist for travel expenses and accommodations, as promised, Mr. Bill failed to honor his word and left the well-respected performer in the red.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a small world and news travels fast about a person\u2019s reputation but all I knew about Mr. Bill at that point was, that like Bill Cosby, both men were highly regarded, well-liked and doted on by those who did not wish to disturb the Natural Order of Things in the entertainment world, so bad press was hard to come by for either man and uttering anything negative about Mr. Bill or Bill Cosby, was simply taboo in the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n<p>I chose to reserve judgment as I stared at Mr. Bill ignoring my concerns in favor of being fawned by fans, backstage, in front of his girlfriend, Melissa. The truth is hard to swallow, so I buried my instinct and threw myself into the only thing that made sense to me at that point; the steady process of cleaning brushes, packing paint cans and breaking down my easel after an exhausting MAMM Jam performance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>CHAPTER 5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>SHABBAT IN THE GHETTO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7559 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/victorhugocollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Retarded-Artist-From-NYC-2-CA-Edited-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"ART VICTOR HUGO VACA JR\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/victorhugocollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Retarded-Artist-From-NYC-2-CA-Edited-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/victorhugocollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Retarded-Artist-From-NYC-2-CA-Edited-600x804.jpg 600w, https:\/\/victorhugocollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Retarded-Artist-From-NYC-2-CA-Edited-768x1029.jpg 768w, https:\/\/victorhugocollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Retarded-Artist-From-NYC-2-CA-Edited-764x1024.jpg 764w, https:\/\/victorhugocollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Retarded-Artist-From-NYC-2-CA-Edited-597x800.jpg 597w, https:\/\/victorhugocollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Retarded-Artist-From-NYC-2-CA-Edited.jpg 788w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just ran into Taylor Swift and Clive Davis, I thought you were catching the red eye. Where the hell are you guys?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re at the Boston Red Sox game.\u201d Todd answered his animated friend, who was calling from a New York City Fashion Week event.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell get your ass over here, Beyonce and Jay-Z invited me to their crib for a V.I.P. after party tonight and they said I can bring some friends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t make it, the Jewish Sabbath is in a few hours and we still don\u2019t have a place to stay.

I thought you said your friend set you up at a beach house with a bunch of rock stars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe did but his friend bailed out on us and now we\u2019re wandering about like vagabonds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The crack of a wooden bat smashing a baseball over the fence for a home-run sent the sold-out crowd into a frenzy drowning out the humiliating conversation going on beside me between Todd and his V.I.P. friend in Manhattan. I could hear every word screaming out of his cell phone as my Android vibrated to alert me that my manager was calling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re not going to believe this.\u201d My manager said when I answered her call. \u201cMr. Bill told me to have Todd pay for a hotel but there are no hotels, it\u2019s season, everything is booked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat?\u201d I answered in disbelief as Todd ended his call and eavesdropped on my conversation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Bill said, Todd\u2019s Jewish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat does that have to do with anything?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Bill said, there\u2019s no such thing as a poor Jew, therefore,\u201d My manager sounded stunned by his logic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI assume, he figured\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew it. Mr. Bill\u2019s an anti-semite!\u00a0 He looked at me kind of funny when we met. Stop being a cheap Jew and pay for a hotel.\u201d Todd growled at me as he rearranged the black yamaka, adorned with the Star of David, on his head.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHot dogs! Peanuts! Get your hot dogs and peanuts here.\u201d The vendor shouted as timber splintered after colliding with a baseball that flew over the fence sending hearts soaring for the World Series champions who manifested another point on the scoreboard as, exhausted, I rose, embarrassed and confused, in a sea of Boston Red Sox fans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s not happening. Todd\u2019s not paying for the hotel. What the hell is wrong with Mr. Bill?\u201d I shouted into the phone as the crowd around me reverberated with delight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy don\u2019t you tell him that?\u201d My manager asked. \u201cIsn\u2019t Mr. Bill with you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo. He said he would come by to get Todd and I before the seventh inning stretch, so we could all go out for a late lunch, it\u2019s already the bottom of the eighth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI told you, Mr. Bill ain\u2019t coming!\u201d Todd shouted over my shoulder into the phone. \u201cI\u2019m starving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGet Todd a hotdog.\u201d My manager suggested as I put her call on speakerphone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m Kosher! That dog\u2019s not kosher! I need to follow Jewish dietary law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cListen, I found a beach house for you guys. The owners are big fans and willing to trade accommodations in exchange for four tickets to the All Star MAMM Jam in Fort Myers tomorrow night. I told Mr. Bill and he said he would get back to me but I haven\u2019t heard from him, so if you see him, tell him to call me ASAP.\u201d My manager said before hanging up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s get out of here.\u201d Todd kvetched. \u201cShabbat starts at sunset.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We sat in traffic for hours with all the snowbirds, waiting to hear from Mr. Bill but he never returned my calls or text messages. Finally, my manager called with the news that Mr. Bill refused to barter four tickets in exchange for safe shelter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe said Todd should stop being cheap and pay for a hotel.\u201d My manager added with disgust, as I put her on speakerphone. \u201cMr. Bill suggested you guys stay at his house or a trailer that\u2019s supposed to be parked in his driveway later tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI need to find shelter before the sun goes down. \u201d Todd insisted. \u201cThat anti-semites home is too far away at this point, we\u2019ll never make it before Shabbat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>My manager promised to continue searching for hotel accommodations on the web while we dodged in and out of roadside motels without no-vacancy signs, through crawling traffic, as the sun beat down on us before beginning to set.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s got to be something.\u201d I pleaded with the motel desk clerk who, like all the other hotel clerks I\u2019d interacted with in the twilight, informed me that because we were, \u201cIn-Season\u201d, there were no vacancies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy cousin, owns a motel just over the bridge, it\u2019s called The Welcome Inn. I will call him now to see if he has any rooms available.\u201d The pungent smelling clerk said in an almost unintelligible East Indian accent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlease hurry, I think my friends going to turn into a Pumpkin if I don\u2019t find him a place to stay before sundown.\u201d I said, while looking out at Todd shifting nervously while reading the Torah, behind the wheel of our packed rental car in the parking lot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGood news.\u201d I told Todd as I entered the car five minutes later. \u201cWe have a room at The Welcome Inn, I made reservations. It\u2019s just over the bridge. We should make it before sunset.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And, we did. Just as the sun began to set, we drove past the hookers and crack-heads into the parking lot of The Welcome Inn. When I opened the door to our room, the first thing I saw was graffiti. Written in black magic marker on the dark green wall, beneath the black mildew from the leaking, air-conditioning unit, were the words, \u201cFuck You\u201d, staring back at me.
