about
End of the Line is the musical autobiography of The Hippy Coyote of American Zen. Leaving his family behind on the day before Christmas in 2011, Coyote packed up his life to start a Buddha Kung Fu school in Las Vegas, Nevada. With the assurances of a Kung Fu brother, he expected room and board for performing up to 85 Chinese Kung Fu Lion Dances and teaching at a Las Vegas Shaolin Kung Fu school.
Unfortunately, the day after the Chinese New Year of 2012, Coyote was told to hit the road. Without friends, relatives, students, or a job, Coyote struggled for several months living in the backyard of a Freemason. The song, "Use Me," was written in that Las Vegas garage.
Coyote worked for a temp service and as a stagehand until he'd saved enough money to move back to California. Unfortunately, he was no longer part of the YMCA teaching budget and being homeless he couldn't enroll enough Kung Fu and Tai Chi students to pay rent...
So Coyote moved back to San Diego in 2012, where he was raised and had lots of relatives. The relatives refused to help him launch his Tai Chi Youth nonprofit education organization. Working as a "day laborer" digging dirt and pushing wheel barrows, Coyote realized why he'd left San Diego in 1978 and had distanced himself ever... more

Album #7
by American Zen
Update: May 5, 2007
by Richard Connor
Record Producer - Owner of Shaolin Records
American Zen began their Buddhist journey on LEVEL 1 where they fought and worked for "Peace Of Mind." Contentment is a luxury for most people. The battles around us and the battles within us make it difficult to smile or be happy whenever we want to -- that should be ALL DAY LONG - BE HAPPY = Peace Of Mind. Coyote sought his "peace of mind" in a difficult environment, stranded, without family, alone without friends (they didn't want people to know we were friends -- wow - I was like a leper in Christian paradise!) - which all served to temper Coyote's spiritual resolve. He may not have found much 'peace of mind' but at least he was looking for it.
Coyote spent the next year in Utah also. The Mormons, the Church of the Latter Day Saints, were not supportive of a long-haired California Buddhist Flute Player Photographer Poet. Nasty letters, petitions, and knives in his front door made it abundantly clear that the Mormons wanted Coyote back in California as much as Coyote wanted to be back in California.
This spiritual financial territorial war spawned Coyote's second album, LEVEL 2 = Christ Killer.
Coyote recorded this album in Utah on his 4-track Tascam cassette tape recorder. It came out excellent. Our first album, LEVEL 1 = Peace Of Mind, was recorded on this same machine. However, Coyote feared for his life if he tried to release this album while he still lived in Utah. Even his Salt Lake City bandmates were told to quit his "shameful rock band" by their Mormon Bishops.

Coyote Performs David Letterman
That's what I want to write: "Coyote performs David Letterman." That's when I'll know that Coyote has 'made it.'
Coyote Medicinal Podcasting
Coyote will of course be creating podcasts for FREE DOWNLOADING of this album.
With Coyote on the brink of Buddhahood, this should be inspiring.
