SUNSHINE IN A BAG: KRIS' STORY
JUST SO YOU KNOW, THIS IS NOT A STORY ABOUT ME, ITS ABOUT KRIS OK?
When I was 18 years old I was in a Car Accident leaving me with a closed Head Injury. After a few years of therapy, I began to work when I could and live on the streets as a homeless man. One winter I was sleeping in the Warming Centers of a Suburb right outside of Detroit. There, I met a person who called himself Eminem. We talked a bit and exchanged stories about the hardships of our lives. He told me he was into music.. Rap music. I talked about my passion for writing and writing poetry. Eventually, the conversation led us to me trying my hand at a few lyrics for him to view at a later date. At the last church on the Homeless circuit, I saw this person again.....Eminem. He asked me if I had done any writing. That day I had done some writing in the Public Library while staying warm. I wrote the Chorus: I'm happy; I'm feeling glad. I got sunshine in a bag. I'm useless, but not for long. The future is coming on. I also wrote much about my philosophy on life and God. I wrote the lines: Get the cool shoe shine, Get the cool shoe shine Baby ! That all turned up on the Gorillaz Soundtrack, which is the word I used to title the page I gave to Marshall Mathers. I titled a portion of the lyrics by using the name, Clint Eastwood. A few years later I see the soundtrack entitled 'Gorillaz' with my song 'Clint Eastwood' and much of the substance of my lyrics in the 'Gorillaz' soundtrack. In a nutshell, that is my story. I have more details that describe the interactions between Marshall Mathers and I that night. I also have a knowledge of who he was with that night if I need to prove myself. I can recall much of our conversation that night I first met him. I feel that if Marshall Mathers knew where I was he would have the heart to give credit where credit is due. I feel he might acknowledge that homeless man he met on the streets of Detroit that night.. if he knew of his whereabouts.
