razor / our mascot

Razor was once the court jester to the King of Da Whole Wide World. He was a wisecracking, mischievous character who loved to make people laugh, but he made one joke too many. An offensive joke about the King.The King considered this treason and Razor was banished from the court. 

Razor was devastated. He didn't know where to go or what to do. He wandered the land, feeling all alone, without a friend, and he felt like dying. He was starting to wonder if he had made a mistake by making the joke.But, lonely is only a place and he knew he had to fight it. He thought maybe he should live on a mountain way down under in Australia. It was such a strange strain on him, until he snapped out of it and realized, “hey…It’s the way of the world, if the king doesn't like my jokes I'm gonna raise hell, never surrender and show them that I'm not afraid”.

However,everyone in the land knew of his crime against the King so he needed to find a place the court would never find him. “I'm just a dreamer," he thought, so not realizing the King also commanded the Dream Police, he ran away and hid in other people's dreams. He traveled through time, jumping from person to person and dream to dream. 

One night, Razor landed in an amazing a dream where he met the rock and roll band, Dirty Trick. Razor was amazed by their energy and talent. He knew that he had finally found kindred spirits. So, he made himself known and introduced himself.”Hello there ladies and gentleman, I’m Razor, I would love to be your Jester. I’ve been up, I've been down,I’ve been weak I've been strong, but I never met someone like you.And you'll never run away when you find out why I wanted to find you."

"We're glad to have you," said the lead singer. "We need someone to keep US entertained.”Well I guess you didn't know what you were looking for," he said, "until you heard the voices in your ear." 

So,Razor joined Dirty Trick, and he quickly became their mischievous mascot. He would sneak into their dreams and become their muse. Encouraging them to live their rock and roll fantasies in real life, turning them from Black & White to Color. 

At first the band felt all shook up, but it wasn’t long before they were living in the lap of luxury.He brought them success and fans wherever they played. In turn, he also felt their protection, but being their jester he could never stay serious for long. He couldn’t resist causing all sorts of chaos on stage, like stealing cymbals, power outages and he has even been known to act like the guitar tech, sneaking on stage in disguise to join the band in real life.He was back on his heels and it was making him feel like the Jester King of rock n' roll and the band loved all his antics.

“You’re a riot, Razor," said the drummer. And we wouldn't have it any other way."

But the Dream Police didn’t get paid to take vacations and they would never leave Razor alone.They wanted to arrest him for his crimes against the King and they would eventually learn to spot him.Even though Razor was always trying to stay one step ahead of them, the Dream Police realized that he can't resist the limelight and he always stayed close to and only listened to the lead singer. He wanted her to want him. He needed her to need him.

So, she was their way to finally get Razor. They arranged to arrest the lead singer, to capture him, live on stage. They try this time and time again.Driving her insane, but the lead singer   

 always gets away with the strength she gets from the Dirty Trick fans who are united in the  "We Are Not Afraid of the Dream Police" movement.They know that when the Dream Police are outnumbered and outmatched they have no choice but to retreat. 

A true inspiration of hope, freedom and rebellion for both the band and their fans,Razor continues to protect Dirty Trick through every performance. The fans are always on the lookout for signs of him, and they cheer him on whenever he appears. His message is simple. It is possible to follow your dreams, even if you are an outcast. You can hear his spirit sing out, through his flame, the lead singer at every performance. “Remember…They’re waiting for you …they’re looking for you …every single night!
