Half Japanese: As Wrought through Film
Alternately referred as a group springing from Maryland and Michigan depending upon the point one’s attempting to make, Half Japanese are somehow still doing just about the same thing it was in 1974. And while folks like Neil Young or Bruce Springsteen can say the same thing, each of those guys has received that magical payday at the end of a tour.
Surely, Half Japanese have made a few dollars – not that Jad or Dave Fair really care. After all, during the latter portion of the seventies, the duo sent out tapes and whatever they figured as art, gratis, to a list of fans they’d kept in correspondence with.
