By John Paul Young

 Clip on (the) Cardboard Brains from Colin Brunton and Kire Papputs’ The Last Pogo Jumps Again. (2013).


I’m glad they got Nardwaur the Human Serviette to substitute for a noticeably absent John Paul Young.

This blog provides me with a forum to share my music, films, writing, photographs and musings. Currently in absence of any product or project to promote it’s a great platform to connect with fans and friends after a too long twenty year hiatus. Flow of consciousness postings, seemingly disconnected sometimes, eventually make sense when viewed as a whole.

KIDNAPPED!

By John Paul Young
Image
  I’m just saying    The original intent of this post is to address my kidnapping, robbery, and attempted murder on Yorkville Avenue in Toronto, which occurred on July 2, 2002, at 6:55 PM in broad daylight. I intend to delve into this event in great detail shortly. Regarding my book, whether it's memoirs or an autobiography, there's a lot to discuss in an overview before I delve into specifics. On Wikipedia's "CARDBOARD BRAINS" page, it once stated that "John Paul Young is currently in seclusion," or in other words, hermitage. Although it has been edited out, it was essentially accurate.   I have been in seclusion since September 2002. My whereabouts and contact information were unknown, which was my preference. Consequently, when Cardboard Brains performed at the Horseshoe Tavern for THE LAST POGO JUMPS AGAIN in 2007, Cardboard Brains guitarist had his friend and former Cardboard Brains member John "Sandy" McFadyen step in as the front man-voc...

I Wish I had Better Memories of Dear Old Dad in His Later Years.

  Robert Goddard Young D.C. N.D, The Unlawful Arrest That Changed Everything: How a Fraudulent Private Prosecution Destroyed My Life In September 2001, while my mother lay sick in the hospital, my father, Robert Goddard Young, began laying the groundwork for what would become an orchestrated campaign to disinherit, criminalize, and ultimately destroy me. I was the alternate executor of my mother’s estate and an heir. Under the terms of the will, if my brother—who had passed away in 1996—and I had both survived my father, I would have inherited everything. However, when my mother died, Levitt, Lightman, Dewar & Graham, the law firm that handled my mother’s estate, determined that my father was sole beneficiary. Despite this, I was still entitled to part of the estate—yet I never received a single dollar. As soon as my father was named sole beneficiary, everything changed. He began falsely calling the police on me, making three separate allegations of assault, despite the ...

I WANT TO BE A YANK WITH LYRICS

By John Paul Young

  I Want To Be A Yank This of course is the 1977 iconic CARDBOARD BRAINS White EP with I Want To Be A Yank, Living Inside My Head, Can Stress Kill, and of course our pre-pistols cover of the Monkees (I’m not your) Stepping Stone. The Canadian punk outfit FUCKED UP did a successful cover of I Want To Be A Yank, however the lyrics aren’t correct. So I would like to take this opportunity to present them in their full glory. “WHO REALLY CARES ABOUT MAGGIE T.? I’M REALLY SICK OF THE CBC. THE KIDS ARE ROTTING AT U. Of T. JUST TO WORK FOR THE U.I.C. RENE LEVESQUE’S THE MISSING LINK CBC TV PROGRAMS REALLY STINK YOUR MONEYS ALL DOWN THE DRINK I WISH I DIDN’T HAVE TO THINK.

CINOFRENIC (1978)

By John Paul Young

 This is in response to a comment by unknown. I “star” in CINOFRENIC, as “Paul”. To the best of my knowledge Cardboard Brains does not perform in the film but Mike Nightmare and The Ugly does. I think The B-Girls also perform, and I can’t remember who else does. I probably wasn’t there that day. IMDB probably has more info on CINOFRENIC. Vince Carlucci would remember if Cardboard Brains performed in the film. I’m occasionally asked about it and if a copy is available. Again I don’t know. Eventually one will surface. Apparently it’s got some good footage of bands like The Ugly. I will always remember seeing Mike Nightmare spinning his mic around and singing: “Your not living in the real world!”. RIP Mike Nightmare. Thanks for the comment. JPY . And no, I don’t perform any music in the film. However we did in The Gate (1986). More about that shortly. https://gofund.me/65a4d93d

Go Fund Me and Me

By John Paul Young
Updates (3) Today by John Paul Young ,  Organizer gofundme and my first donation has given me a new perspective. For years I suffered in silence at what had been done to me, always with the gnawing feeling that something indeed could be done about it. But just what remained elusive.There was the age old enigma: Everything in this world takes money. Sadly, Justice most of all takes money I have found through hard experiences. I was trapped in the cycle of poverty through no fault of my own. Once you’re trapped in the cycle of poverty often there’s no way out. My first false allegations and resultant first false arrest left me homeless and living in my car. By a miscarriage of justice I was prohibited by law to go to my home, my cottage and my office which was the physical address of companies and corporations I was a Director and Shareholder of, which was far from legal. While “living” in my car I had all of my property sold, stolen or thrown out. I had no contingency plan in place ...
