Louis Thomas Hardin (May 26, 1916 – September 8, 1999), better known as Moondog, was an American composer, musician, poet and inventor of several musical instruments. He was blind from the age of 16. In New York from the late 1940s until he left in 1972, he could often be found on 6th Avenue between 52nd and 55th Street wearing a cloak and Viking-style helmet, sometimes busking or selling music, but often just standing silent and still.
He was widely recognized as "the Viking of 6th Avenue" by thousands of passersby and residents who weren't aware of his musical career.
Born to an Episcopalian family in Marysville, Kansas, Hardin started playing a set of drums that he made from a cardboard box at the age of five. His family relocated to Wyoming and his father opened a trading post at Fort Bridger. Hardin attended school in a couple of small towns. At one point, his father took him to an Arapaho Sun Dance where he sat on the lap of Chief Yellow Calf and played a tom-tom made from buffalo skin.

Plot: Life in a southern trailer park. A British documentary film crew captures the exploits of the residents of the Ogeechee Mobile Home Park near Savannah, Georgia. The residents of the trailer park are southerners, but they don't live on a farm. Or go hunting. They don't drink Mint Juleps and they don't go to church on Sunday. They're too busy sleeping off their hangovers from Saturday night. Friendship, family, love, loss and hope are all there. There's also PBR, topless girls, all night parties, hopelessness and drunken dance-offs. Life in a southern trailer park is funny. And sad. And unbelievably crazy. The documentary follows the lives of the residents who, for whatever reason, couldn't or wouldn't leave the trailer park and how their lives are affected by the man who did. .

Plot: It's 1983, and hopeless junkie Dick gets an unwelcome visit from the past - his seriously sleazy former cellmate, Bug, to be precise. Bug requires a crash course in the 80s: different music, different drugs, and machines in walls that dispense money. The latter development gives Dick an idea.

Plot: Inside the stately Senate Hearing Room, Frank White, professional soldier, Vietnam vet and CIA operative, is fighting the toughest battle of his life: he's on trial for the assassination of Miguel Rivera, a Central American diplomat. Only two men could have made the shot - White or his friend Rick Burns, ex-military sniper now working as a Mafia hitman. Testimony unravels the intricate web created by Rivera and Daniel Waterman, head of an international cartel dabbling in both Latin American Politics and cocaine. A while back, White and Burns led a commando assault into the Colombian jungle to destroy Waterman's main cocaine processing factory. After a vicious battle against counter-attacking mercenaries the entire strike team was slaughtered...all except for White and Burns. Burns returned home with a bitter obsession: revenge. But Waterman discovered his plan to assassinate Rivera and set out to stop it by blackmailing Frank White. Desperate, White turned to beautiful WHITNEY TODD, fearless Federal Agent. As they find themselves caught in the crossfire of the courtroom persecution they realize they must fulfill one last mission...to hunt for the truth that would destroy Waterman forever.

"Stamping ground"was included in the sampler double album "Fill Your Head With Rock" (CBS 1970). Ιn the beggining of the song Moondog is reciting one of his epigrams: "Machines were mice, and men were lions. Once upon a time. Now that is the opposite, it's twice upon a time."

The funeral cars crawl down
The heartbreak side of town
The mourners all discuss
The boy who caused a fuss
We chopped a billion trees to print up eulogies
But guys we should have guessed,
The girls would say it best
Moondog !
Love. 'cos love's the final word
Nothing crosses love
Reason has to bow if love demands it
Moondog ! - guess who's on the moon
Moondog ! - guess who's on the moon
Up there a flag will fly for mom and apple pie
Moondog ! - guess who's on the moon
Moondog ! - guess who's on the moon
The one place left to play
The comeback's underway
The world was younger then
In bed asleep by ten
And daddies shook their fists
At hidden communists
The earth was merely round
Before the slapback sound
Is there one spell can bring
The once and future king ?
Moondog !
Cut... to somewhere deep in space
Beyond the colonel's arms
Handsome doggone rake the truly weightless
Moondog ! - guess who's on the moon
Moondog ! - guess who's on the moon
Moondog ! - guess who's on the moon
Up there a flag will fly for mom and apple pie
Moondog ! - guess who's on the moon
Moondog ! - guess who's on the moon
The one place left to play
The comeback's underway
Moondog ! - guess who's on the moon
Moondog ! - guess who's on the moon
Up there a flag will fly for mom and apple pie
Moondog ! - guess who's on the moon
