Kill thy physician, and the fee bestow
Upon the foul disease. Revoke thy gift;
Or, whilst I can vent clamour from my throat,
I'll tell thee thou dost evil.
-- King Lear, Act I, scene i, lines 162-165

In recent years, he has recorded two homemade solo "rehearsal" CD's of his own songs (Peasant Cantata & Another Think) as well as a "cover" CD of early Dylan songs (Tender Candor Vendor). In 1999, Green founded the Mythoklastic Therapy Institute and has dedicated every waking minute since then to his work as a Mythoklastic Therapist.
