No Longer Scaring Valencia Street Shoppers, Omer Travers Now Partying in The Desert With Young Women

Long a fixture of Valencia Street, Omer Travers (AKA “Bum Jovi”) spent many years alternatively delighting and pissing off those that happened to stroll by his seemingly permanent perch in front of Good Vibrations.

Described on Yelp as everything from “batshit crazy” to “legend,” Travers was nothing if not a very in-your-face reminder that Valencia still had a little life left in it. That changed when Travers disappeared around November of 2013, leaving us with only his Facebook page for our daily dose of confused rock and roll.

Well, it seems that Travers has been busy. Capp Street Crap reports:

Controversial Valencia Street fixture and entertainer Omer Travers may have traded San Francisco for Arizona but he still has an audience. 

Earlier this month, a music video for a song called “Apollo” by French electro-pop band Ruby Cube was posted to Travers’ Facebook page. From 2013, it shows Travers, a.k.a. Bum Jovi, cavorting with a group of fundamentalist girls gone bad. He even has a speaking part. I won’t give away the ending, but it’s kind of amazing.

Amazing it most certainly is.
