Elisha Zaporelostzi's first performances were the Open Stages put on by the Bytown Live in Ottawa Ontario, Canada. It is how Neil Young and Joni Mitchell started. Phreap magazine is a one page thing that went around Ottawa in the 1980s. Now it is a web site; http://home.att.ne.jp/blue/patchan With the help of Joe-Charly Smith, Molly Ding, Calhoon-Fred Febealie, and Butter Jones I was able to put out Phreap magazine.

Story behind the song
This is a 4 track cassette tape demo of Car Nerd (I'm Not A Car Drivin' Man) from July 1994 when I was living in London Ontario. I added new lyrics to Tom's song (Gosh Fearing Man) so as not to make it religious and this is from my time in Vancouver when I wrote my book "Put your Bum To Work" in 1988. I tried to write a lyric /song with an anti car message based on the fact that cars kill a lot of people. Thus we get to Cher and now I understand what happened and that there were 2 motorcycle accidents - thanks to the Oakville group. Sorry if my history is not that accurate - as Cher died as she was thrown from a motorcycle and hit a pole - Paul died the same weekend on another motorcycle.
Lyrics
I'm Not A Car Drivin' Nerd Music by Tom Pirosok, words mostly by Patrick T. Connolly Oct. 24, 1988 Typed September 1, 1998 I nervously kissed Cher good luck. Paul was confident as she climbed on the back of his (proud motorcycle. The time will never come when I see Cher again. 'Cause Paul just never saw that cement wall. they couldn't pass through it. Well, I'm not a car drivin' man, Cecile, I hope you won't complain. No, I'm not a motoring man There's nothin' 'bout me to disdain. 'Cause those pansies are to lazy to walk And they want to take their exhaust pipe And stick it up you sensitive part (your nose). Why do I have to wait at this stop light, While slime balls drive through a green light, murdering their children? Yes, It's those car drivin' perverts, Cecile, to what will you revert? Yes you can get a car drivin' pervert I ain't one of them. I'd seen Colleen's eyes in the school hall. But some fella drove her heart away from me, it flew through her window shield. Someday I'll see headlights shining in the dark And I'll see you all in heaven. I'll have found you all then. Though I'm not a car drivin' man, I walk the side walks, Though we're not car drivin' fiends We're not even safe from drivers on our own blocks.
