Catch Dick Stusso’s New Video And Tour Before He Destroys The Rest Of His Instruments

'Real Life' was created by two men walking the streets of Oakland and drinking low quality beer.

Sometimes art is simple, sometimes art is complicated, and sometimes it involves a guy in cowboy boots staggering around city streets and smashing the shit out of musical equipment with a baseball bat.

Dick Stusso, that Oakland midnight cowboy/ songster, is back with a new tour and to celebrate he’s put together a video for his track “Real Life”.

Directed by Stusso and Lucas Peters, the video has Dick wandering the streets in what looks like a semi-drunken totter, throwing his shit on the ground and swimming in the ocean like a disturbed person.

According to the man himself, it was a video made with both love and desperation.

"Well, here we have a video documenting a single day, wherein two friends had a grand time drinking the worst tasting beers of their lives while making "art". Sometimes to hype a tour, "art" must be made”.

Indeed.
