Outrage Olympics
Outrage Olympics is a song about how we live in a world of surveillance, and it’s too late to turn back. We are being surveilled by the government, and we are surveilling each other. If somebody says the wrong thing and offend the wrong people, whether intentional or not, their life can be ruined in the blink of an eye. This dangerous exists on all sides of the political spectrum. We live in the dystopian present. The song has references to George Orwell and Aldous Huxley.

David P. Levin is an American producer, director, writer and editor. In the early days of MTV, he produced Rockumentaries on Madonna and Michael Jackson, and later went on to help create and develop the "Uncensored" brand for MTV. Later on he created, produced and directed TV Land Confidential for TV Land, and also produced and directed When Pop Culture Saved America,Which Entertainment Weekly cited as one of the 10 specials to watch on the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks. He is the founder of BrainStorm Inc., a video production company with a focus on television projects.
During my career, I've been fortunate enough to work in television, working with icons and creating everything from documentaries to feature films.
Collaborating with Joe Deninzon has been one of the highlights of my professional life. Critics have called him the Hendrix of the rock violin, a prog rock visionary and a top innovative musician. To me, he is all that and one more: my friend.
The song OUTRAGE OLYMPICS is a masterwork: music and lyrics working together to create a vision of a potential dystopia as well as a reflection of the world in which we currently live. It was a privilege to work with Joe to help bring that to life in the visual medium, while at the same time capturing the raw excitement that Stratspheerius brings to every live performance.
Directing this music video was challenging, fun and fulfilling. I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
