JethroTull Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 True story - I lived in New Hampshire between 1987 and 1989. There was some sort of punk related fanzine I would pick up in record stores and it mentioned GG Allin along with his PO Box mailing address. GG lived in New Hampshire. I sent him a letter, just to see if he would respond. He did with a pornographic hand written drawing and various musings written on it. I threw it out in the early 90's and wished I had kept it.

Jahfin Posted May 2, 2008 Author Posted May 2, 2008 On the G.G. Allin tip: The Night G.G. Allin Came to Town We were bored, there was nothing going on. Might as well stay at home and drink until we pass out again. Then drink some more when the morning comes. Memphis was sinkin' into the Mississippi. We were doing our best just to ride it down. Till the night G.G. Allin came to town. "Honey, I dont believe this," the old man at Ferguson's Cafe kept saying to his wife. As he read aloud The Memphis Star and their account of what went down that night "It says he took a shit on the stage and started throwin' it into the crowd. But he was gone before the cops could come and shut him down." Gone before the shit came down The night G.G. Allin came to town The night G.G. Allin came to town Antenna Club, Memphis, 1991 Punk rockers paid $12 to be shit on! The night G.G. Allin came to town "It says he took the microphone and shoved it up his ass!" The old man and his wife were aghast The night G.G. Allin came to town The night G.G. Allin came to town Lyrics by Patterson Hood © 1998 Soul Dump Music Quote

Charles_Obscure Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 wow Britney Spears is wierd ? Her music is really bad but I dont think it is wierd. The list is not about the music itself, but it is about the person behind it. To call Britney a musician... that's another thing... Quote
wanna be drummer Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 I was wishing Weird Al was on there.... I'm listening to him right now. Buckethead beats Michael Jackson I think. He's the weirdest dude I've ever heard of Quote
wanna be drummer Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 How about ? from ? and the Mysterians. There's a weird guy. Hell of a lot weirder than Spears Or how about that Philip Kramer of Iron Butterfly? He kills himself and says that O.J. is innocent and that they did it. Quote
