Today, I finally was able to get the Vince the Prophet web site up and running.After years of delay there is finally a place where the writings and philosophies of The Millboure Millennium Master will be assembled for the "people of planet earth", outside the West Philadelphia Italian Ghetto where he spent most of his life, to learn about the Poet, Prophet, Phoenix of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
I am sure that Vince would have been gratified that his message was now available to millions of people on the web, although I am not sure that he could have ever comprehended what the web is. Vince was a simple man, who shunned technology and passed before concepts like the computer and the world wide web were widely understood or available.
He did tell my friend Bobby and I that we should be his publicity agents. And now we are able to spread the word, 21st Century style.
I had always felt that Vince was born for www distribution.
As we are able to post more Vince content in the coming weeks, I encourage everyone and anyone to check out the site.

VINCE HAS BEEN SOME WHAT OF A MYSPACE CELEB.. FOR SOME TIME NOW :) THE ADDITION OF VIDEO'S IS A WELCOME CHANGE......THE OVERBROOK ALUMNI THANKYOU!
As a third grader at St.Roses my friend friend showed me a pack of cigarettes and suggested we would look like tough guys if we smoked.The tough guy that I was walked from 59th and landsdowne to Morris Park at 66th street before I would even look at these smokes for fear of being seen by anyone who could possibly let my parents know. Well as we found the perfect spot deep in the woods where no one could see us,we lit up. before I could take a drag a man so frightening appeared with long hair and beard that the pack was tossed in the creek and we ran as fast as we could back to our homes,giving up cigarettes up the until high school. The monster of 3rd grade was noneother than Vince the Prophet who probably wanted only to talk. Overcoming my fear by my mid 20's I finally talked to Vince and realized how smart yet eccentric he was. P.S. Could you post that clipping that Vince always carried with him .Mark MacGillivray

The Poet, Prophet, Phoenix of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania has risen! I can't believe he has come back in our lives. Just the other day I was talking to old friends from Overbrook (down the hill) about Vince and the memories we had of him. He would take us for rides in his spaceship all of the time. Sorry to say I never did get to see his igloo where he meditated and wrote poetry.
I'm wondering if you are the Marty Amadio I knew in LA/Philly/Delco. I am the former Patty Pyne. If it is you, please write to pattysue4@aol.com. If not, sorry for your trouble. Either way, you've done a neat thing here for this cool guy Vince the Prophet. Peace, Patty
Hey, thanks for the blast from the past! I remember Vince "prophetizing" to us at the playground at Callowhill Street where we hung out, amoung other things!
I knew Vince all my life. I have much information for the developer of the vincetheprohphet.com website. Does anyone know how to reach him? I have detailed information about Vince and his writings....
I have access to ALL of his writings. Please contact me at Xbox360rules@comcast.net My goal is to get them published some day. It is what he wanted. I am a relative of the family.
Overbrook was far from and never an Italian ghetto. Maybe you two clowns who filmed Vince while you were unemployed and dusted thought so at the time.
Overbrook is a ghetto now, but it has nothing to do with Italians!
If you consider the fact that nearly every aspect of Overbrook was Italian back in 1965, when we "..two unemployed and dusted..clowns..." were growing up and take the time to look the word up in a dictionary (dictionary definition follows) you might understand that the word "ghetto' has not as much to do with the poverty and neglect that pervade our old neighborhood today, but the fact that Italians were clustered together in one specific neighborhood. Thus the word "ghetto."
ghet·to (gµt“½) n., pl. ghet·tos or ghet·toes. 1. A section of a city occupied by a minority group who live there especially because of social, economic, or legal pressure.
