He’s an Indian, and Brazilian officials have concluded that he’s the last survivor of an uncontacted tribe. They first became aware of his existence nearly 15 years ago and for a decade launched numerous expeditions to track him, to ensure his safety, and to try to establish peaceful contact with him.

Peaceful contact proved elusive, but those encounters helped the agents stitch together a profile of a man with a calamitous past. In one jungle clearing they found the bulldozed ruins of several huts, each featuring the exact same kind of hole—14 in all—that the lone Indian customarily dug inside his dwellings. They concluded that it had been the site of his village, and that it had been destroyed by land-hungry settlers in early 1996.

The most isolated man on the planet, the last remaining member of his tribe, lives alone in a 31 square mile ‘reservation’ in Brazil and has done for the best part of a decade and a half.

Accompanist Needed:

To build intrigue, the accompanist may be billed as an android, caveman, confirmed serial killer who is shortening his prison sentence through a musical community-service program, or all of the above. Therefore, it is necessary for the accompanist to play from music sheets of binary code, create music by striking the keys with an oversized faux-wooden club, and play with ankles and wrists cuffed.

Some of my singing engagements take place late at night, in the homes of strangers, without audiences or music, and may appear to be elaborate art or jewel heists.

A mean and/or crazy lady in Coventry puts a cat in a bin.

Kitty survives. If internets could actually inflict physical damage I wouldn’t fancy the lady’s prospects.

While we’re at it, can we prosecute the person that created this clip? 20 seconds of nothing at the beginning, 30 seconds of nothing at the end…for what?

Yes, yes we can.
