The Incredibly Strange Saga of Christopher X. Brodeur
By Brian Homa
The best things in life are free, and they’d better be; otherwise a city this expensive would have cleaned me out a long time ago. What could be better on an overcast April morning than going to court to support/laugh at your annoying/talented friend who just got sentenced to six months in jail just for running his mouth? Lots of things. Lots of things are better but very few things are as free.
So we arrive at 100 Centre St., wading through cases, waiting for the prosecutors to finally produce our boy, Christopher X. Brodeur. With me is the talented, non-annoying Jessica Delfino, Christopher’s girlfriend, who’s spent a lot more time here than I have, and far too much time for anyone who wasn’t paid to be here and/or isn’t insane.
How did we get here? Musician, illustrator, art star, and provocateur, Christopher X. Brodeur rocks. And if you don’t like it, he’s here to tell you where to put your mouth. Brodeur tells a lot of people where to put their mouths—journalists, businessmen, landlords, mayors, fellow artists, are all told frequently and in capital letters where they can go if they disagree with him. An angry opponent of the Giuliani and Bloomberg administrations, an irritant to those who can’t rock, and an inspiration to those who want to rock harder, he is an important man who may well be insane.
I had the great personal honor of being deeply and profoundly annoyed by Christopher on two separate occasions. The first came after I supported my friend Raven’s decision to overcharge Chris five dollars for admission to Braincell Genocide, a rock party I was throwing. Raven was producing the show, and had the right to charge people whatever he wanted. He wanted to fuck with Chris because of an old beef over a girl. Chris harangued me for roughly a month via the now-closed Girlbomb message board, calling me “ethically bankrupt,” while labeling Raven a Nazi.
The second time I was deeply and profoundly annoyed by Christopher lasted for about a month on the still-running artstars.org message board, when he used it to pursue/perpetuate all his various feuds and vendettas at full volume. It kind of sucked the air out of things because you couldn’t talk about anything else. Finally site administrator Tom Tenney gave Chris his own annex, outside of which he wasn’t allowed to post anything. He whined about it for a little bit but soon it proved suitable for everyone.
These two instances I was annoyed pale in comparison though to how much I enjoyed the art. Touching You, his solo project, involved songs like “Kill a Newspaper Editor, Pt. 2” and “Humans are Shit.” Have you ever seen Haunted Pussy, the histrionic fear-metal band which featured Chris feeding back on guitar while two battered-looking female leads (Jessica and Mikey) ran around the room screaming about being raped by a ghost? They were AMAZING! They were freaks on a mission, and that mission was to FREAK YOUR SHIT. They didn’t care where they played, as long as they caused a commotion and bugged out everyone in the room. Their best show featured Michael Portnoy in a guest spot as Jesus, singing in atonal operatic faux-Aramaic while participating in the rape. Wozzeck with boobs … sort of. And it was always exciting to see his cartoons in NY Press, or to see his letters to the editor in scads of papers where he’d sign his name as a mix-up of two different people you knew (“You’re all a bunch of FASCISTS!” signed, Lach Berger).
As exhilarating as his mania was, there was always something kind of depressing and redundant about the language of his resistance. It’s like, “Blah blah Hitler, blah blah you’re a Nazi, blah blah” I get it. You’ve given me permission to stop listening. You want me to debate you, so that you can call me a Nazi five million more times? I’ll pass.
The question remains, does Chris deserve to be locked up? The answer is … maybe. He’s been convicted of harassing with threatening language a bunch of folks, including journalists and people from City Hall. While he’s never actually followed through on any of the threats, it’s hard to argue that his language wasn’t threatening. While haranguing The New York Observer’s Ben Smith over something or other, Chris reportedly said that *if* he shot Smith, he’d be a hero, “Just like Bernie Goetz.” (Chris is apparently friends with subway gunman Goetz.)
While on a quest to find out the annual salary of Bloomberg’s press secretary, Christopher reportedly told City Hall employee Ed Skyler, “If you lie to me, I should cut your throat.” If you hear this stuff and you know Chris, you’re probably just like, “Yeah, whatever. Your dick’s too small.” If you don’t know Chris, you probably think he’s coming to shoot you and cut your throat.
What is troubling to people who care about Chris and respect his talent, is his apparent desperate need to be locked up. Acting as his own attorney, insisting on a jury trial guaranteeing a two-year sentence if convicted, his behavior will not set him free. While waiting for him to show up at court, civil libertarian and celebrity attorney extraordinaire Ron Kuby, there to speak on Chris’ behalf, said, “Chris presents himself as a scary asshole. And judges don’t want to let scary assholes go, because they don’t want to make the cover of The Post for having freed the guy that killed somebody.”
Jessica protested and said, “But there was a woman called up just now, for aggravated assault, and she only got sentenced to six days!”
“Did she lecture the judge about Nazism?” Ron asked.
“Well... no...”
“Did she send the judge a letter, calling him an asshole?”
“No, but Chris didn’t do that either!” said Jessica.
“He did call the other tenant lady a ‘cunt,’” I said.
“Yeah, he did do that.”
Chris never showed up. Due to some administrative snafu the prosecution failed to produce him, and he spent the day in jail. A couple of days later Jessica told me that in his recent run for mayor of New York, with a campaign budget of about $120, Chris got 4 percent of the vote in the Democratic primary, roughly 17,000 votes. Mostly through letter-writing and phone calls, the campaign has scored Chris and Jessica, his campaign manager, boatloads of publicity. It has also exposed people like me to radical new ideas like, “What if the pay phones actually worked?” “What if the subways were free, just as the police department and fire department are free?” and “What prevents this from happening?”
Chris has never given any indication that he plans on ending his strange crusade (he does mention quitting politics and moving to Europe, but no one knows how much to believe him). No one knows if Jessica plans on switching channels from the Brodeur Show, but she has suggested it may happen (see Touching You’s Annex on artstars.org.), even though she has absolute respect for the drive that makes him behave as he does. It’s difficult to imagine how following someone so closely on such a self-destructive mission wouldn’t stretch someone past their breaking point. Kuby spoke to us when court was adjourned, and he said, “I get a very real sense that all of the supporting players in this little drama are getting tired of it.”
Chris has insinuated, via the artstars.org message board, that if anyone steps to Jessica while he’s locked up he’ll cut their nuts off, but will he really? Is he *threatening* you?
While incarcerated, Brodeur was sneaked the following questions. These are his handwritten answers:
Q. Who should the Family kill next?
A. Like a cancerous tumor is removed—MUST be removed—Any and ALL families must kill all editors and journalists of mainstream media to save ALL little families. (If we clean up media, we automatically clean up government, because gov’t cannot commit any crime if media is honest and exposes it. Or, the family should kill ME to free me from this evil, evil world.
Q. Who is your least favorite Art Star?
A. This is a trick question, as, by my definition, “Art Star” means the top tier of downtown performers/weirdos (sic). I don’t think it means just ANYONE who gets onstage. Also, your question is unclear: some I may love artistically but hate personally. (Uh … Tom Tenney? Actually I like Tom most of the time. See?)
Q. Do you have any new boyfriends yet?
A. I have many “boyfriends” in here. They all hate the corrupt NYPD, D.A., Judiciary, and barbaric department of “corrections,” just like me. (And then we give out mutual foot rubs.)
Q. Any new tattoos?
A. Just one. It’s crude but effective: It reads “Eat This” on my buttocks with an arrow pointing to my chocolate vagina. It’s for when the government rapes me.
Q. Do you plan on singing in prison?
A. I already do. ex: I sing my new hit to Jessica Delfino, “I Dream of You Each Night (As I’m Being Raped in Jail).”
Q. Do you plan on using the word “nigger” in prison?
A. I already have. ex: I’m recruiting muscular black musicians to form a noise-metal “Monkees/’N Sync/Sex Pistols” fabricated group of anti-white-male imperialism called “SUPERNIGGER”.
Q. Did you fuck anyone up on your first day, just so that people knew that you were crazy and that they shouldn’t mess with you?
A. I got royally FUCKED (by the gov’t) to get in here, but I got mad respect when the inmates found out I fucked up Giuliani/Bloomberg (which put me in here). One guy literally interrupted me writing this to call me the White Moses, “Let my people go!” None of us are afraid of prisoners. We’re afraid of cops and the corrupt government who torture us daily, starve us, give us three hours of sleep a night, etc.
(Note: Brodeur was subsequently assaulted by a fellow prisoner)
Q. What are you going to do if/when you get out?
A. Record the dozens of songs I wrote in jail and then get out of Police State Central (NYC) ASAP! And kiss my girl. A lot.
Christopher X. Brodeur frequently takes issue with the articles on him on factual matters, so make sure to check out his annex on artstars.org, in the event he wants to set the record straight.

(Christopher X. Brodeur wrote the following letter from jail in response to the above Brian Homa piece from Boog City 33.)
Dear Boog City:
Thanks for your story on my plight (I guess) but I hope you'll let me rebut many misleading bits in it. (And I was sad that it lets our super-corrupt government off the hook.)
1. I didn't "get sentenced to 6 months in jail for running my mouth." Nor for "threatening" anyone. This is what our govern-media wants people to think, ala "Bush invaded Iraq because of WMDs" & "Giuliani was the hero of 9/11." It is 2006 & yet most people STILL believe everything politicians and their cronies say?! (AARGH!) I was falseley arrested 3 times last year solely because it was Bloomberg's re-election year & he was at 30% in the polls & I was bashing him (metaphorically!) in each issue of NY Press. Even the dumbest casual observer can clearly see that...
ARREST 1 came five DAYS after I was on the cover of NY Press in a giant four page spread emasculating Bloomberg. (And my weekly cartoon "Idiot Patrol" even had a drawing of me being arrested for exposing Bloomberg's crimes in that same issue!)
ARREST 2 came a few DAYS after I made Bloomberg #1 in NY Press's 2nd most popular annual issue, '50 Most Loathsome New Yorkers'. I also made my super-crooked landlord, downtown developer Paul Stallings #22 and exposed just a few of his crimes. (Yet the DA & he argued that I "harassed" Stallings 3 years earlier & both got caught lying about why I wasn't arrested until I hurt Stallings public rep!)
ARREST 3 came a week before the election -- the same week I told Ben Smith (another Bloomberg shill)(who now praises govt for the Daily News!) I would be flooding the block outside his workplace with flyers exposing his crimes (such as plagiarism) protecting City Hall's crimes. A judge appointed by Bloomberg instantly broke the law and gave me 13 days in jail (before bail would even be discussed!) to keep me jailed until AFTER the election. (Funny...Bloomberg did a similar illegal tactic when he falsely jailed 1800 RNC protestors! Does Brian Homa think this is more uncanny coincidence?) They cheated "convictions" in the first 2 arrests & the third is pending.
I am sitting in jail for the exact reason Bush & OJ are NOT: our "legal" system is corrupt umpteen times over. ALL the judges I'm before are appointed by my opponents (Giuliani & Bloomberg) and this is illegal -- and all these judges are EX-prosecutors, too, favoring corrupt DAs in my cases -- illegally -- and just as my last "conviction" was unanimously ordered FALSE and ILLEGAL (after I sat in Rikers for 17 days) by the Appeals court judges (who do not owe their jobs to my enemies) I will be cleared again. (The problem is, that I will sit in jail for another NINE months before I'm cleared! AARGH!!!) Also, I would already be out of jail on Bail Pending Appeal but I am POOR, and if y'all don't know that Justice is for those who can afford it, then we are really in trouble as a society! The Supreme Court says I broke no laws ("could" and "should" don't equal threats they say) so Mr. Homa does a grave disservice to us all by letting his ignorance of facts or The Law cover up govt. scandal. (AARGH!) [Ask for more details]
2. Mr. Homa, likewise, gets superficial with his criticisms of my criticisms. I don't run around calling people Nazis, as that doesn't mean anything. (Any idiot can call people "Nazi".) What I do is -- in great detail -- expose scandals, crimes & sleazy behavior and then OFTEN show how that behavior is identical to Bush, Stalin & Hitler. Example: Giuliani smeared me on tv & radio as mentally ill, and also smeared the artists in the Brooklyn Museum "Sensation" show with the lazy insult. It is no coincidence that Chancellor Hitler [everyone loves to forget he was a "popular" politician] did precisely the same thing. Ditto Giuliani / Bush's avoidance of most public debates (Hitler's M.O.) and Giuliani/Bush's stealing tax money to pay off journalists & media (Hitler's M.O.) and fabricating threats to "national security" (Hitler's M.O.). Just as Europe learned nothing from World War I, (hence World War II's immediate follow up), the human race today continues to make the same stupid mistakes and I feel obligated to educate the Suckers Born Every Minute.
3. Lastly, (b/c I don't want to bore y'all to tears -- too late, I know) (jail has gutted my wit; sorry) [Riker's is NYC's Abu Ghraib!], I note that Mr. Homa quoted people like Ron Kuby, Who DO NOT KNOW 99% of the DETAILS OF MY CASES! (see: that children's game 'telephone'.) WHY you would get any info from people who don't know the facts is beyond me. It sounds like the NY Times' stories on WMDs which were secretly sourced by Hussein's ENEMY. (OUCH!) Mr. Homa is a fantastic artist. (But he's a questionable reporter.) (Double ouch!) Don't quit your night job, buddy. The fourth Reich is here, people. Wake the fuck up fast.
XOXO,
Christopher X. Brodeur

IMPORTANT ADDENDUM: by CXB
A) Brer Brian Homa wrote "it's hard to argue that [CXB's] language wasn't threatening" which is only true if you know nothing about the English language and nothing about the First Amendment and case law. Saying "if" "Could" or "Should" hurt you is clearly not a threat. Everyday, people actually say, "I AM GONNA KILL YOU/kick your ass, blah blah" and are not arrested for threats b/c the Supreme Court has said even "I will kill you" (vs. I should kill you) isn't actually a credible threat unless you can prove it was realistic beyond a reasonable doubt. A week after I was arrested for "if you lie to me I should cut your throat", Bloomberg publicly said to NYC's public advocate (after she embarassed him in the media) "I could just shoot you." Nutjob Giuliani not only publicly proclaimed "The Board of Education should be blown up", (he was probably unaware of public buildings being blown up and targeted)(right?), when pressed, he said, "I'm not kidding." Neither was arrested, because most prosecutions are political -- not based on law & order. (NOTE: City Hall had gotten similar non-threatening messages from me for 12 years, so they can't claim they didn't know me.)
Mr. Homa should be mature enough to PUBLICLY apologize but I suspect he won't. (Should I mention Mandela got life in prison for being a "terrorist"?)
B) Mr. Homa says he (and others) always chicken out of debates with me b/c I'll just call them Nazi five million more times" but as 100% of humans can attest, the above paragraph proves this smear to be an Absolute Lie. Homa & all others refuse to publicly debate me b/c I can point by point disprove all their baloney and rhetoric. (EX: in 22 live radio arguments tween me & Rudy on WABC, I not once called Rudy a Nazi, yet he killed my line & chickened out 100% of the time.) (Probably a crazy coincidence.)
Again I'd like to see Homa PUBLICLY apologize (and prove me wrong b/c I doubt he will.)

A) Brer Brian Homa wrote "it's hard to argue that [CXB's] language wasn't threatening" which is only true if you know nothing about the English language and nothing about the First Amendment and case law. Saying "if" "Could" or "Should" hurt you is clearly not a threat. Everyday, people actually say, "I AM GONNA KILL YOU/kick your ass, blah blah" and are not arrested for threats b/c the Supreme Court has said even "I will kill you" (vs. I should kill you) isn't actually a credible threat unless you can prove it was realistic beyond a reasonable doubt. A week after I was arrested for "if you lie to me I should cut your throat", Bloomberg publicly said to NYC's public advocate (after she embarassed him in the media) "I could just shoot you." Nutjob Giuliani not only publicly proclaimed "The Board of Education should be blown up", (he was probably unaware of public buildings being blown up and targeted)(right?), when pressed, he said, "I'm not kidding." Neither was arrested, because most prosecutions are political -- not based on law & order. (NOTE: City Hall had gotten similar non-threatening messages from me for 12 years, so they can't claim they didn't know me.)
Mr. Homa should be mature enough to PUBLICLY apologize but I suspect he won't. (Should I mention Mandela got life in prison for being a "terrorist"?)
B) Mr. Homa says he (and others) always chicken out of debates with me b/c I'll just call them Nazi five million more times" but as 100% of humans can attest, the above paragraph proves this smear to be an Absolute Lie. Homa & all others refuse to publicly debate me b/c I can point by point disprove all their baloney and rhetoric. (EX: in 22 live radio arguments tween me & Rudy on WABC, I not once called Rudy a Nazi, yet he killed my line & chickened out 100% of the time.) (Probably a crazy coincidence.)
Again I'd like to see Homa PUBLICLY apologize (and prove me wrong b/c I doubt he will.)
