RETURN OF THE KING: The Enigmatic Maynard Brings Forth One Book To Rule Them All
One of the world’s most interesting and iconic music front-men has authorized the release of a book about his life. “A Perfect Union of Contrary Things” will be the quintessential must have for any fan of this progressive rock idol. It’s release date is set for November 8th, and if you weren’t wet enough with that information, Maynard will be following it up with a book tour, where he will be reading exerts LIVE from his Title and then following it up with a Q&A! A Perfect Union of Contrary Things, the book was written by Keenan’s longtime friend, Sarah Jensen, and chronicles the musician’s ‘journey from his Midwest childhood to his years in the Army, to his time in art school, from his stint at a Boston pet shop, to his place in the international spotlight and his influence on the disparate fields of contemporary music and regional wine making.
In an interview with ‘The Pulse Of Radio’ Keenan said that Jensen was actually around for many of the formative events of his life. “She met me when I was doing music, which was in high school of course. High school plays, choir, all those performances. She saw me, you know, when I was going into the military, she saw me in all the sports activities that I was involved in, a lot of the poetry that I used to write back in high school, some of the publications that I was involved in back then…so she’s seen all of that progression.”
For those of you not familiar with Maynard’s work, sorry about your luck and choices you’ve made, musically – He sings in three bands – TOOL, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer – he is an actor, comedian, an enigmatic family man and wine maker.
This book will be exciting for most fans since Maynard, though very outspoken (and rarely censoring his opinions) has kept his past relatively secret from the public for most of his career. We are going to get the opportunity to see images never before seen by his fans (according to the author). And, we’ll read of the philosophical cornerstones that helped create this alluring and poetic superhuman.
It’s hard to imagine Keenan as just some ‘guy from Middle America.’ I always envisioned him from another dimension, he lifted into our world, summoned from a bloody unicursal hexagram. But alas, he is a man, with strong roots grown in the beauty of America. He is a successful artist and it shows in his passionate works why he is loved by a legion of devoted fans.
So, grab his book, hell, pre-order his book, this coming November and discover what secrets will be revealed inside its worded labyrinth. People like Maynard are consciously carving out their mark on the tree of life, while most of us are just pissing on it.
