Conn artist: Chicago-based anarcho-glam rocker has been releasing looney tunes since the 1990s

Bobby Conn is a liar. He has, since the later 1990s, claimed to be the Antichrist, to have cut off his ring finger, to have served time in a federal facility in Maryland, and to have invented a way to bring down the government by creating a huge national debt. That last one is especially good, considering the state of the global economy. You sure it wasn't you, Bobby?
What is true about Conn is that he is an idiosyncratic, provocative and prolific artist-musician from Chicago who has released five studio albums to date:
Bobby Conn (1997),
Rise Up! (1998),
The Golden Age (2001),
The Homeland (2004) and
King For A Day (2007), along with a live album
Live Classics (2005).
