PIGEON DROPPINGS | AUGUST 2003
Pigeon John's quirky personality, honed both as a member of hip-hop super crew L.A. Symphony and as a solo artist, is legendary. FEED magazine, a fledgling publication (but sadly one of the only holy hip-hop rags out there) describes him as a "royal jester," and that seems to come through in our interview. Asked about L.A.

...IS CLUELESS (2002) The bar is dimly lit as Pigeon John steps to the stage. Not so sharply dressed and armed only with a guitar, the crowd's response to PJ is mixed at best. John playfully banters with the crowd and between frantic shouts of "I'll die for you" and telling the crowd to shut up, the LA Symphony emcee moves into his delicate song "B." One listen to this song will give you a good idea of what the Pigeon is all about. Read full review... |
