Joseph B. Raimond

Born in 1962 in Omaha Nebraska in the United States, Joseph B. Raimond was the son of a US Air Force officer. After living in such diverse places as Laon France, three different places in Virginia, Denver Colorado, Dayton Ohio, Darmstadt Germany, and finally Los Angeles California, Joseph B. Raimond moved to San Francisco California where he studied art, with an emphasis on ceramics. After completing his Bachelors degree in 1985, he moved to the Fuerth Germany area, where he has lived ever since, refusing to ever move again! He completed his Masters degree in the spring of 2009 in Humanities, focusing on the interaction between various forms of art and expression. He built a house in the year 2000, complete with a painting atelier and recording studio, where he is able to work on his painting, writing and recording projects. Besides many exhibitions óf his paintings in Paris, San Francisco, Munich, Koeln, Berlin and his hometown area of Fuerth, Germany, he has under the collective name Doc Woer Mirran published almost two hundred recordings of his audio art and music. He has also written more than thirty books, most of which feature his punk-rock inspired form of writing. Pulling no punches, everyone and anyone can become a target of his politically inspired poetry, his favorite victims often including republican and other right-wing politicians, television evangelists, reality shows, lame pop icons and arrogant jazz guitarists.

You know you’re an old man

When the hairs growing out of

Your nose start to turn grey

The falling autumn leaves

Get glued to the sidewalk

By the guts of stepped-on slugs

That little boy, so secure

In the back seat of the car, asleep

Died a long time ago

Old drunk, playing harmonica

Annoyed waiting passengers

But I thought he was pretty good

Give the stupid fly an aspirin

After banging his head
