![]() An independent videographer, aka Traveling Light Studio, he also works with community theater groups for live and screened productions in the San Francisco Bay Area. Jobb has performed before sparse audiences as Henri Freud on line and live on the Marsh Studio and Mainstage in San Francisco. Jobb’s widely unread books have been published by Little Brown, William Morrow and Scribners/Sierra Club. In California, he contributed to a wide variety of educational publications and multi-media projects. Jobb has worked as a reporter and photojournalist in Florida and Colorado. ![]() We’re choosing to take him at his word, that what’s on his site is intended as satire.”Ī curious fellow who sometimes appears on stage, Jamie Jobb is an obscure Martinez California based writer, home-movie maker and visual storyteller who makes moving pictures with and without cameras. Whether we like the way he does it, or agree with his approach to satire, Kings, a club owned, booked and run, by a crew that’s as diverse as they come, wouldn’t be hosting him, if we really thought he was an anti-Semite, racist, or anything like that. It’s like ‘You think this is upsetting? We have a president who says things just as bad, and worse on a daily basis, and we shrug our shoulders.’ From what I can tell, Biff is very much about peace and love in concert, and that dichotomy, harsh and offensive online, eager to commune in person, is the point-drive people away from the chatrooms, and into communal spaces, to connect in person. However distasteful the material on his website is-and, as a Jew, the Randy Newman song certainly made me queasy-I don’t believe it represents his actual feelings, any more than Lenny Bruce (Rose’s hero), joking about Hitler, represents a cavalier attitude about the Holocaust.Īccording to Biff’s tour manager, and several other people I’ve since talked to, Biff is a beatnik at heart, distrustful of technology, attempting to make a statement, however heavy-handedly, about how complacent we’ve allowed Twitter, the 24 hour news cycle, et al to make us. After checking out the material in question, I followed up with his tour manager, a longtime friend of Rose’s, who explained that Biff approached his web presence as a completely separate, satirical performance art project, an incendiary, over-the-top persona, intended to provoke, in hopes that people would engage with him. We weren’t aware of the nature of his internet presence until last night, when a customer e-mailed the club’s booking account about content on Rose’s website. When contacted for a statement about hosting Rose, Neptunes’ Dan Hirsch offered the following, in full: “Biff Rose was a last-minute booking that came across the club’s radar, a week ago, and was undertaken based on his sixties-era output, which is what he performs in concert.
