“I can think of many things that are commonplace today which I think are harder to justify than trepanation. Body piercing and tattooing are other forms of body mutilation, though we use the polite word ‘modification’. There is a psychological response that accompanies these acts for the people who have it done which is why they are drawn to them. The effect of trepanation might be a similar mechanism, or it may be physiological as well. Evidence of the latter would substantiate the procedure to a greater degree than the recreational forms of body alteration. Using drugs as a means to attain a state of consciousness has the drawbacks of being temporary and having side effects that either interfere with brain function or adversely affect health.”

The film won the Best Documentary Award at both Atlantic City Film Festival and Brooklyn International Film Festival, and was later broadcast on the Discovery and Learning Channels. ‘A Hole In The Head’ is now available on DVD at http://www.holeintheheadmovie.com

Swamp Cabbage is electric American roots music. Swamp Cabbage is always original even when they’re payin’ tribute. Swamp Cabbage is North Florida fatback boogaloo blues from three white guys brave enough to play The Theme From Shaft without strings and chick singers. You dance and then you laugh because they pull it off. Fronted by Walter Parks who has been playing since 2001 with Richie Havens, the man who made rock history by opening the 1969 Woodstock Festival, Swamp Cabbage has been in the studio recording their upcomign full-length album to be released later this year.
