The new, electronic version of the classic 'Later Than You Think' released in 1999.
Inspired by a local public access television producer by the name of Dangerous George. Produced on San Francisco's Channel 25, the name of the show was 'Trip City/Straighter Than You Think'.
Dangerous George had a way with words which no doubt landed him in a lot of trouble in life. Words also got him out of trouble, redeemed him. He once shared a story with poet Royal Kent about being saved from the electric chair in Texas when the female plaintiff decided to tell the truth.
When asked by a reporter with the San Francisco Chronicle why he produced Trip City, Dangerous George replied "for the same reason a women has a baby...I came to San Francisco to do Trip City"!
Partial Lyrics...
What must be
conveyed here
is greater than
What could
come from
Only pen and ink
Those of us
tripping in
Trip City walking a
Crooked path
straighter Than you think
Only two things
to be said Here it's
Later than you think
Later than you think
