Put on the Pink Flamingos is my tribute to the one-and-only Mike Otten.
Mike and I met as high school freshmen and first bonded over comic books, Star Trek, and rock-n-roll. Forty years later, it breaks my heart to say he is gone too soon.
He was a very creative person. And he was a huge supporter of my creative projects. I dedicate this piece to him. I think he would like it.
Huge thanks to Crystal Pascucci (cello), Danielle Goldsmith (recording engineer), Jacob Winik (mastering), John Vanderslice (Tiny Telephone), and Aimee Stevland (art).
