Objective
An open discussion of situations which may result
in riches and fame for A Halo Called Fred members and fans.
Any suggestions? E-mail us at ahcf@brushwoodart.com!
Special Note: There
are bands that are opposed to any form of bootlegging/sharing of their
materials. We are not one of those bands. We feel that it is important
that the world be exposed to the fabulous healing power of our music
BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. Just dont make a profit off it or well
sue your sorry ass.

Schemes
The Chain Letter
Chain letters are illegal, and we would never think
of starting one, or encouraging anyone to start one. However, if
one of our less ethical fans suggested in a casual letter to a friend
that listening to the Halo had a wonderful effect on ones
sex life, and that forwarding letters about this had an even MORE
profound effect on ones sex life, and that friend passed that
letter around to twenty close friends, and the exponential growth
(otherwise known as The Toothpaste Effect) of our popularity flourished
with every ounce of libido the world had to offer, who would we be
to turn our backs on our new found fame?
The Pyramid
Scheme
This is an interesting offshoot
of the chain letter idea, but you might make some cash in the process.
This is also illegal, so dont do it. Really. But since theres nothing more
in it for us, we wont go into detail here.
The Vicious
Rumor
This one has worked pretty
well for other bands, and as long as theres no specific slander involved, its
even legal. As long as people DENY all allegations, theres
no lying even going on.
Examples
- I find it really
hard to believe that New Jersey rock band A Halo Called Fred print
their album covers using ink made from the blood of Christian
children.
- The President couldnt have had
sex with that intern! Its immoral! I dont think he
had sex with New Jersey rock band A Halo Called Fred either!
- There is no truth
to the allegations that listening to New Jersey rock band A Halo Called Fred causes
spontaneous orgasm. The studies are too inconclusive.
The Vile Radio
Stunt
It has come to our attention that there is a radio
program known as The Howard Stern Show. Although
this program promotes values that we in the Halo do not particularly
approve of, we recognize that the greater good is to spread our message
of love. It has also come to our attention that all one needs to
be allowed an appearance on this program is to perform some sort
of stunt, preferably related to some form of ingestion of the hosts
excretory substances, or being a beautiful naked woman. Although
the members of the A Halo Called Fred are neither beautiful
naked women, nor perverted sickos, we recognize that many of our
fans are. We are not opposed to letting one of said fans into the
band on a temporary basis for the sake of performing one of the above
tasks on this program.
