ObakeFilter 1,013 Posted Monday at 12:09 Bay Area experimental musician Dax Pierson has died aged 54. Hailing from Oakland, Pierson cofounded experimental hip-hop groups Subtle and 13 & God, and was affiliated with the Anticon collective. In 2005, while on tour with Subtle, he was left paralysed from the chest down when the tour van hit a patch of black ice in Iowa. He sued Ford Motor Company for faulty design mechanics, arguing that the defective seat contributed to his life-threatening injuries, and was awarded $18.3 million. https://ra.co/news/81872 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
