Perfect Lives - Robert Ashley


"Perfect Lives has been called 'the most influential music/theater/literary work of the 1980s.' At its center is the hypnotic voice of Robert Ashley. His continuous song narrates the events of the story and describes a 1980's update of the mythology of small town America. Perfect Lives is populated with myriad characters revolving around two musicians — 'R', the singer of myth and legend, and his friend, Buddy, 'The World's Greatest Piano Player'. They have come to a small town in the Midwest to entertain at the Perfect Lives Lounge."
