It began by asking Todd Rundgren if he would collaborate with me on a Colour and Passion for my record; He thought about it and considered a few colour choices but then realized that "TrashWhite" might be an option in the colour spectrum. We decided to work on a song depicting the multitudes of feelings and characteristics of such a colour and all things that come with it. A title like one found in a house paint chip catalogue, "TrashWhite" associates more with an array of passions (anger, racism, violence, embarrassment, supremacy) rather than with an actual hue on the wheel of colour; TrashWhite points at various shades on the scale of natural colours, complementary and non. Todd scripted his lyrics to my basic track of drums, adding guitar and synthesizer along with a poignant vocal delivery. Chris von Sneidern engineered and sang BGVs. Jason Scheff from the band Chicago played bass guitar and contributed his endorsement for the project with a gleeful performance. Raging slide guitar solos along with authentic hillbilly pickin', played by Joe Dileo, capture the threat and immediacy of the track. Jello Biafra of Dead Kennedys and his cohorts chanted and declared TrashWhite war with reckless abandon throughout. I spewed out my lyrical discontent interspersed with acknowledgements about conditions in our uncertain society, along with a pumping dance groove, asking the listener to stand up and shout! Kick out the jams MF!
