Boyd Blake Rice (born December 16, 1956) is an American experimental sound/noise musician using the name of NON since the mid-1970s, archivist, actor, photographer, author, member of the ''Partridge Family Temple'' religious group, co-founder of the (UNPOP art movement ) and current staff writer for ''Modern Drunkard'' magazine.〔(Modern Drunkard Magazine Online staff writer list )〕 ==Biography== Rice became widely known through his involvement in V. Vale's RE/Search books. He is profiled in RE/Search #6/7: Industrial Culture Handbook〔 and ''Pranks!''〔Juno, Andrea (Editor), Ballard, J. G. (Editor), ''Re/Search #11: Pranks'' (1987) ISBN 0-940642-10-7〕 In ''Pranks'', Rice described his experience in 1976 when he tried to give President Ford's wife, Betty Ford, a skinned sheep's head on a silver platter. In this interview, he emphasized the consensus nature of reality and the havoc that can be wreaked by refusing to play by the collective rules that dictate most people's perception of the external world. In the mid-1980s Rice became close friends with Anton LaVey, founder and High Priest of the Church of Satan, and was made a Priest, then later a Magister in the Council of Nine of the Church. The two admired much of the same music and shared a similar misanthropic outlook. Each had been inspired by ''Might Is Right'' in fashioning various works: LaVey in his seminal ''Satanic Bible'' and Rice in several recordings. Rice's Social Darwinist outlook eventually led to him founding the Social Darwinist think tank called The Abraxas Foundation, along with co-founder Nikolas Schreck, named after the ancient Gnostic god Abraxas. The organization promotes authoritarianism, totalitarianism, misanthropism, and elitism, is antidemocratic, and has some philosophical overlap with the Church of Satan. During an interview with Christian talk show host Bob Larson, Rice described the basic philosophy of the foundation as being "The strong rule the weak, and the clever rule the strong". Rice has documented the writings of Charles Manson in his role as contributing editor of ''The Manson File''. Rice was a featured guest on ''Talk Back'', a radio program hosted by the Evangelical Christian Bob Larson.〔("My Dinner with Bob Larson" ), ''Snake Oil'' magazine (1994)〕 In total, Rice made five appearances on Larson's program. Although Rice was sometimes reported to possess the world's largest Barbie collection, he confessed in a 2003 interview with Brian M. Clark to owning only a few.〔From ''The Black Pimp Speaks'', 2003 interview with Boyd Rice appearing in ''Rated Rookie'' magazine No. 6, 2004. Viewable online: ()〕 In 2000, along with Tracy Twyman, editor of ''Dagobert's Revenge'', Rice filmed a special on the Rennes-le-Chateau for the program ''In Search of...'' on Fox television. (The segment was later included in the 2002 version of ''In Search of...'' on the Sci Fi Channel.) Rice has done extensive research into Gnosticism as well as Grail legends and Merovingian lore, sharing this research in ''Dagobert's Revenge'' and ''The Vessel of God''. Rice was involved in creating a Tiki bar called Tiki Boyd's at the East Coast Bar in Denver, Colorado. Rice decorated the entire establishment out of his own pocket due to his fondness of Tiki culture, asking an open tab at the bar in return. Boyd has long expressed a love of Tiki culture, in contrast to the other elements of his public persona.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tiki Boyd's – Denver's Newest & Only Tiki Bar )〕 Tiki Boyd's was given its name in his honor. Due to disagreements between Rice and the owners, Rice pulled out of the deal and reclaimed all of his Tiki decorations. The future of the bar as it remains now is uncertain. Rice plans to re-establish another Tiki Bar elsewhere in Denver.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boyd Rice」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
