Douglas C. Rapier was born in a little log cabin he helped his father build in Kankakee, Illinois. Soon after, he whittled a guitar out of firewood and taught himself to play simple tunes.
After years of professional starvation as a 'working musician', DC found his way to Taiwan where he has lived and taught English as a foreign language for 18 years - fourteen of them married blissfully to Yashan 'Linda' Huang.
Having lived outside the USA, away from the incessant daily blather of infotainment that sadly passes for news reportage and journalism, DC can claim a more international point of view than most in the US who are inundated with spin-sters, shock-jocks and Faux News blow-hards.
Douglas breaks from his investigative prodding and perplexities of political ponderings long enough to bring to you a script he wrote to tell of a time when the only thing that really mattered was discovering who he was, the biggest plant and the freedom that came post high school in a small town called "Wankakee." Take a magical mystery tour back in a 56' Pontiac through the back roads of a post adolescent abandonment of the senses. With a little help from his friends, of course.
