Jack Chicago has always been a wild man. After a youth of struggle and troubles, he borrowed $5,000 from his Student Loan Provider and used the funds to nail the Great Stock Market Crash of 2008 by betting heavily on the March and September "puts" of Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers. His gut was right, and both Wall Street Fortresses went insolvent by September of 2008, netting him a Herculean profit that some say is worth well over $4 Million. Jack rarely discusses his Stock Market Activity in public; but the heroic speculation which he endured in 2008 was in no way Mediocre. The cash-money that was his reward for the Victory was Colossal and game-changing, especially for a rambling artist who came from a modest upbringing.....But as he came to find out, and as the Famous saying goes, "money isn't everything" - especially out in LA where he lived after he hit the Bigtime in Chicago. Money didn't change Jack Chicago; rather, Jack Chicago changed money... In LA he dated dazzling pop singer Miss Norway, and that was the beginning of his Awakening. Love, whiskey, clubs, poker games, sun + sand, the Venice Beach breeze, shopping in Santa Monica, 6-day-May-Lays in Vegas, elbow-rubbing with fashion's hottest, blacked-out Chateau Marmot nights until 4am, and of course the music business (his new fetish) - it turned this boy into a poet, a party, and a pitchman - simply, it fueled this geeky stock market gamer into a wild beast who was bucketed out of the depths of the Pacific. Of course things with Miss Norway didn't pan out, and he parted with a great chunk of his capital by affording his Heroic lifestyle, as well as dabbling in Big-Bets poker in Vegas; so in late 2010, knowing he was Hell-bound to lose it all if he stayed a-miss on the West Coast, he decided it was time to make a change, re-shuffle the deck, and hit the road to the Big Apple.

The story of “Fae’s Gone” begins with a majorly intense word: Wanderlust. One travels, gets out unknowingly to the outermost Unknown, and then lusts for more motion. It’s a yearning to see 1037 Places and document them with memories, scribbles, and relationships. It’s a gamble without a prize, a wager without a reward, a planetary shift that can’t be folded; a soul development (Soul Dev) in real time! Dig!
The story is of Fae, a young college gal who accidentally falls out of love with routine living and then purposely falls in love with airplanes, full moon parties, the Thailand Islands, and soul soaked traveling adventures. She comes across the many Wanderlusters in the streets (music geeks, business men, penny-stock traders, military staff, and gamblers). In the end, “Fae’s Gone” is about realizing the best can never best the best. As she said, “Stuff just pretty much is”.
“Fae’s Gone” originally debuted live on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 at Manhattan Pizza in Burlington, Vermont. Jack was so intensely happy with the reception from the Cheering Whiskey Drinkers that he decided to announce a “re-debut” for Monday, April 2 at Radio Bean in Burlington, Vermont. Go see it! STAY LUCKY ¡¡JC

OPUS 7
Time: 4:50
LYRICS:
55 Bar handshake with a happy ending, 55 bar handshake with a snappy ending
That kid Angelo shook the Garage with an 22 piece poppy jazz band
Got a meeting for lunch scurry by the doorman, meat for lunch scurry by the doorman
Time is money and the doppler effect takes rhythm from the band in the session upstairs
Too many bikes, too many apps, too many taxi cabs driving too fast…. too too too too
Too much steam outa too many sewer caps, too many creeps out looking for ass I say … too too too too too
Dreamed I was a vocalist nailing my part, I dreamed I was a vocalist nailing my part
Until my stoned out roommate burnt a pumpernickel bagel in the shoe box kitchen which is also my room
So I walked to wall street to see a few ghosts, walked to wall street to see a few ghosts
My pal Candyman was rippin’ on a heater down in city hall park with the 99 percent
Too many rules, too much time, too many things are too risky to the mind… too too too
Navel gazin’ man just-a looking for change, sleepin on the Wall Of China in the rain … too too too

“JACK CHICAGO - OPUS 5.0: LIVE FROM TRIBAL HEADQUARTERS” RELEASED!!!! On a sunny early-early spring stroll through New Amsterdam, with what appeared to be a “producer”, Jack Chicago stopped into the “Tribal Headquarters” to reconnect and re-examine his motivation for what is rumored to be a music release coming out in 3-2-1. After such a deeply spiritual session, Jack was quoted as saying, “It’s going to happen like the butterflies”.

JACK CHICAGO - OPUS 4.0!! Deep! It has been documented that Jack Chicago did indeed sit in for a little buzz-twirl “Rock And Roll” and some greasy “Sweet Georgia Brown” with Richie Cannata at the Bitter End in New York City on Monday Night … the dig is, that this has been going on every Monday for the last few weeks … Supposedly he’s taking CROWDSAMPLE’S there for a release coming up in April, one horse vowed, saying it was either that or the next Nom De Plume … ^^^^^^^^ WOW!! ^^^^^^^^^

word has it!! Opus 3.3 (T End the Thre3 Saga) coming in less than 48hours… but it’s not THE big one, sources say. Rider-goan-miss-meWIG :::: it was all Today — Jack spotted all over town, both playing a risky card game of chance at high stakes with the TSCCE (Top Secret Card Champion of the East), supposedly getting long-needed coaching, and discussing college HOOP. One hesitant source says he wAs even at a game in “The Pit” …. but the latter is not confirmed!
