I saw one of Marvin's old guitars in a small museum in Antwerp. He'd had a hole cut in the back so he could strum the strings from inside. According to the sign, though, it is not heard on any of his songs because he was 'inept at utilising this unusual technique'.
Dude search on wilkipedia about Marvin Pontiac and you'll see.
It was a hoax by John Lurie and David Bowie. And a fictional "biography" was published by Allmusic. all that took place in 1999, despite the fact that ''mr Pontiac''
died in 1972...And that's not bullshit mr Pontiac's friend...

Just went sfting through articals relating to Marvin Pontiac to discover it's a hoax by John Lurie! I should of known. I'm probably the last person to discover this!!!
Glad to see someone representing the excellent Marvin Pontiac. What a man and what a band- Marc Ribot, Tony Garnier... It's a pity there's no footage on here. He was quite elusive and reclusive and was comitted for a while and believed that camera's would steal one's soul, so photo's are a rarity. Great song and album.
Elmore Leonard brought me here.

Marvin Pontiac, if we woke up together one Sunday morning, I would totally make you pancakes and let ugly children lick my face.

It's no hoax. Marvin comes to a weekly seance that I attend every Sunday morning. He always brings pancakes.

@HimlersRing only in the sense that a novel, a painting, or a film is a hoax.
