FROM THERE TO HERE:  A BIOGRAPHY

​ALMOST 15 MINUTES 


​​In 1991 — during a Zellweger undergrad semester — I was a Texas rockstar. For about 15 minutes.

My name first appeared in the Dallas Observer on April 11, 1991.

Well, almost.

​"Kusner" was spelled "Kossner."
​​That semester, The Daily Texan profiled my Austin band.

Just like Walter Cronkite's profile about Gertrude Stein.

​FUN FACT

In 1935, Wally, Gert and Alice enjoyed a three-way at The Austin Motel.

Afterward, Cronkite raced for the morning deadline.

"The prince of verbal swat and the traveling companion Alice B. Toklas."

​​The Daily Texan's 1991 "B-day girl" headline transformed me into an androgynous figure.

In Don Graham's American Lit, a wry classmate observed, "Kusner flounces around campus like a silky haired Michael Hutchence."

​Inside the Cactus Cafe my Austin band, Radio Hairdo, waltzed through Texas with "Frozen Lullabies."

​​My ’90s magazine, SPREAD, enjoyed a three-way inside The Austin Motel.
