	Monty Cantsin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Monty Cantsin is a multiple identity that anyone can adopt, but has close ties to Neoism.
		Zack's call upon to adopt the name Monty Cantsin was taken up in 1979 by the Hungarian-Canadian performance artist Istvan Kantor who amalgamated the name into Neoism.
		As the shared identity of all Neoists, Monty Cantsin was transformed from a "pop star" to a radical identity experiment occupying the everyday life of Neoists and culminating in frequently extremist ways at Neoist Apartment Festivals ("APTs").

		Neoists adopting the name Monty Cantsin attempt to live and explore the paradox of a persona that is one and multiple, a subjectivity which, as neither and both collective and individual, attempts to render its own dialectical base meaningless--not unlike Neoism itself, which is a prefix and a suffix without a middle.

		The reason there may be some question as to whether the movement was real or not is because of the neoists themselves.

	006 Review(s)
		I first met Monty Cantsin around a bottle of Bull's Blood in a peaceful field surrounded by grazing brontosauruses during a Krononautic Organism picnic organized for me on my death bed in the year 2153 AD (After Death).
		Monty Cantsin as been the (un)disputed archetype of the Open Pop Star Outreach Program to the Masses department of this grandiose project.
		While the music may often be simple and "direct", the lyrics are quite an uneasily categorizeable mish-mash of auto-biography, sloganeering, megalomania, mythstory, and a general "poetic" attitude to life.
