MacGregor Rucker was born at the dawn of the Great Society and prays to this day that he didn't turn out to be as big a disappointment. He came of age somewhere in between Woodstock and Punk Rock, shortly after Lou Reed had descended from the mountains of Upstate New York, having just invented poetry, performance art, rap music, Delmore Schwartz and leather trousers. He is a survivor of Watergate, Bellbottom Pants, Disco, Reagonomics, Neo-Conservativism, The War on Drugs, Brit-Pop, Giuliani-Time, The War on Terror, Skinny Jeans, and the NYC Smoking Ban and lives in Brooklyn with two knuckleheads that look suspiciously like smaller version of him and claim paternity.
