I have only done this once before.
Strange music for strange people.
Dollar Bill and The Unmentionables has been recording slightly silly music since 1989. In 2010 we started making videos to stare at while the song plays. Genre: varies, sometimes within the same song even. Be sure to check out the video page, as many of the songs have super high-budget (i.e. $0) music videos

This is a tremendous song, Bill! Your original song concept, based on TRUE events/experience is most creative.
Seldom does one hear such a unique song from lyrics to instrumentals to overall production. This is a classic song - one of your very best. Thank you for the dl of this masterpiece.

Very dark atmospheres, slow motions.
Interesting because a lot is happening.
I like that future synth sound added on the end and still will watch the video.
Good job!

Quite a creative song that fits into the time travel theme very well. Love the crying wah lead guitar rides! Fantastic performance and production skills!!

Fantastic evocative piece - all at once weird, groovy, rockin' and slightly disturbing (the emphasis on the word "once" is chilling... ) Great bass and drum groove and the guitar is unreal. I'd keep quiet about reading that magazine tho
I'll need to keep this one, cheers $B!

Very exciting music and amazing guitar playing. The soundtrack of a documentary on time travelling - this is not a joke! Great work!

Just WAY too cool Bill.
the spacey concept is brilliantly orchestrated with percussion, sweeping pads, and massive sounding guitar solos!

This is "not" a joke......and I really understood it, later, when the guitar solo began: this is not a joke, this is "music"!! Bill what a fantastic track, I cannot understand why I did not recognized it yesterday evening......ok, so much tracks indeed, but this one is marvelous!! Can only agree with all the comments before mines: this is not a joke, this is Bill´s masterpiece!! Gratulate my talented friend! :)

A very revealing and creative intro Bill. (Kinda like twilight zone stuff as mentioned). Then your incredible guitar work begins and watch out. Killer playing, tone, and texture. Terrific job for the evening theme. Really enjoyed this one.

Hey if your the village idiot then there must be some pretty clever guys in your village !!!
Really enjoying the listen, Great narrative and excellent guitar playing there friend !!!
Enjoyed.
I can't believe I didn't comment on this the first time round (that I heard it) .... it's a stunning piece of musical creativity and execution, with a fantastic lead guitar performance in the second half.... and all of this wrapped around the brilliant concept for the CBC challenge that you wrote it for.
