Nakedly Examined Music #247: John S. Hall (King Missile): Daily Poet  @ThePartiallyExaminedLife
Uploaded March 2026 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago
John has released at least fifteen albums, more than half of these under the name King Missile, but even this name covers three different bands, since John until recently didn't play any instruments, so his music is always collaborative with one or more music writers. Apart from his various musical projects, he's published around 50 books of poetry and publishes poems every day on his Facebook page.

We discuss "Her Cock is True" from the yet-to-be-released King Missile album Quest for Fire, "Eating People" from The Psychopathology of Everyday Life (2003), and "Sensitive Artist" from Fluting on the Hump (1987). End song: "Garden" by You, Me and This Fuckin’ Guy from Garden Variety Fuckers (2020). Intro: "Detachable Penis" from Happy Hour (1992).
