As Keith vividly describes, Dr. Octagon has yellow eyes, green and silver skin that changes to blue and brown, a pink-and-white afro, and a brain that glows different colors. He also wears X ray sunglasses, hard shoes with razor blades, and says that he can change his face with the press of a button and disappear.\n--\n\"Earth People\" was one of the songs Kool Keith performed in this SF concert in 2017: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QesLjS_KQU", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" } ] }
