A.k.a. John North Wright

John North Wright was a musician, writer, inventor, traveler, and prolific VHS and BETA filmmaker born 1942 in Port Huron, Michigan. Wright was a lifelong Masonic conspiracy theorist with the belief that Bob Dylan had stole his wife, and that the CIA was after him. These were the themes of much of his music, writing, and films. After writing and self-publishing three books between the mid 1970s and early 1980s, Wright began writing and recording music in late 1982. In 1983 he was invited by Lon C. Diehl of Hunting Lodge to play a live event in Port Huron, a few songs from which ended up on the legendary S/M Operations compilation cassette. This led to the recording of Welcome 1984, spearheaded by Diehl and released on his S/M Operations label. In the late 90s, Wright took to making hundreds of websites to share his theories, writing, and music, some of which are still functional, In February 2004, Wright passed away from complications related to leukemia, in a Hawaii hospital. John moved to Hawaii shortly after the release of his last album, White Widow.
