.....i meant , Tiny Tim said younger men were inconsiderate TOWARD WOMEN. For all his flirtations with sexual ambiguity , Tiny Tim seemed homophobic , or , to be fair , like he had to keep reminding people he was straight.

His best friend,huh? Hmmmmm....Surely the accusation was posthumous. How many people were even on the internet when Tiny Tim died , I'm too lazy to look it up , now , but , it must have been over 20 years ago?  Sounds like he just thought it'd be easier to piss on his grave than to say anything , right or wrong , against Tiny Tim , while he was living.  PRETTY LAME , especially if he had nothing to support it.......Tiny Tim was a freak , as we all know. I read a rare interview where he DID talk about his sex life , saying younger men are inconsiderate , because they could'nt go for 4 or 5 hours , like he claimed HE could. The rest , I'll spare you good people. Nothin outwardly offensive or illegal , just FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

.....I've never heard of him being accused of pedophelia (We don't spell it with an "a'' here in the states , tho' I say "Faeces Book "instead of "Face Book" , anyway .) ,,,,,That does'nt mean no one ever made such an allegation , it's just the first I've heard of it.....

It wasn't big time stuff (the news was on his best friend's and assistant's blog (Erin something?....don't remember the blog website though:( some years ago too)...I mean, it wasn't news like Gary Glitter and Jacko stuff.....but TT was WRONGLY accused...that's for sure.

Now it's Capt. Beyond:):)

I never heard On The Road South before. Ya, it's definitely an extended version of the heavy middle section of Defecting Grey, "night star hangs in blackness...". Very cool. 

Well, I read somewhere on the You Tube that "On The Road South" is a cover version of "Defecting Grey"...

Dead Boy , "Defecting Grey" and"On The Road South" are two of the best freakouts recorded. It does'nt hurt that they sound so much alike.

I was'nt able to get sound on these videos , but , I'll try again , later....No , I'm not familiar with that series. I did , recently , pick up the Japanese version of "Love , Flowers and Poetry" . Great stuff. 

If you haven't heard a compilation "Acid Dreams Testament", I'd recommend!

   ALSO ,  Alice and Michael HAD A BEEF FOR SOME TIME. THEY DID MAKE PEACE , AND PLAY SOME REUNION GIGS AND GO INTO THE STUDIO AGAIN , but , maybe they're on the outs again(?) , and one party refused to be associated with teh other. Just speculating......

I MEANT , Alice does'nt PLAY Chicago , THOUGH I HOPE HE WILL, some day. WE CAN'T ALL GET OUT TO SUBURBS WE'VE SCARCELY HEARD OF. Last time he played here was at Navy Pier Bandshell , probably 10 or 12 years ago.......HE KILLED IT , BUT THE COMPARATIVELY SMALL VENUE WAS'NT EVEN FULL.

The Pygmies,

   ALICE DID'NT GO PUBLIC WITH HIS DRUG HABIT , BUT THERE'S ENOUGH FOOTAGE FROM THE "SPECIAL FORCES" DAYS , HIS FACE LOOKS RAVAGED BY SPEED.  excuse the large caps....

He did deny his having had problems with crack cocaine and other drugs for a long time , but , he went  into detail about it in his "Behind The Music"segment , which had to be at least 15 years ago(?). It was a carefully guarded secret , but , then again , so was Alice , by the early 80's. The surviving members of The Alice Cooper Group were all shown on that program , and , with the exception of Bruce , they looked great , and still do. It sounds like the director was motivated by The Sex Pistols' film , "The Filth and The Fury" to not showthe interviewees' faces. I'll take your word for it that it's a good move , though I'd liek to see them.

OKAY ! ANYONE IN CHICAGO - "SUPER DUPER ALICE COOPER" IS BEING SHOWN AT DELILAH'S , 2771 N. LINCOLN (But , if you're reading this , and live in CHICAGO , YOU KNOW WHERE DELILAH'S IS.), Next Tuesday , 7:00.     It may be our only chance to see this film in a rust bucket ghost town like this. It should have already played here , in a real theater , but , we may have to settle for TV monitors. I've heard nothing about a DVD release , either....... Alice does'nt lay Chicago , anymore , maybe his movie will play in the suburbs.

Dennis Dunaway is featured prominently in the doc and there's a little bit of Neal Smith, but no one else for the original lineup. Unless I missed it. You only hear the interviewees voices, you never see their faces, which I think was a good idea on the film maker's part.

The most interesting part of the doc is Alice coming clean about quitting alcohol but then developing a heavy cocaine addiction. Something he had long denied until now. 

Recentl Revolution Rock expanded to a two hour program.  I did one last show in the 90 minute format.  Here are the play lists and download links for my last 90 minute podcast and first 2 hour podcast!

Check out my blog post on XTC's 3D EP here:  http://revrock.blogspot.ca/2014/05/xtc-3d-ep-show-510.html

Hey there! Not sure if here is the right place to ask that, but we're a band from Brazil and we are looking for a nice and not too expensive place to press our next record on 10" vinyl. That could be in the US or Canada, where we would have friends to help us to bring the records to Brazil and stuff.

Can somone help us on that? Thanks!

The Francs will play for beer... if I can find everybody in tyhe band.

...IT DOES'NT SURPRISE ME THAT HENRY would TRY to produce a record on Manson , unless it was after  he witnessed his best friend's murder , and would have surely said "I don't want to get involved with  a serial killer.". If it is'nt true , it is'nt true , as vastly overrated as Henry is , in my humble opinion , I give him props for geting behind actual musical geniuses , like Roky and the monks , that never masterminded human slaughter . IF IT'S TRUE OR NOT , I'll sleep like a baby.

I know GG Allin was a friend of Gacy's, but Henry Rollins producing Charlie Manson? It's the stuff of urban myth, it just makes a good story that, if true, shows that reality reality has eclipsed satire.

Never heard of  The COUNTRY ALBUMS. I know he did a Country EP. Of course "Scumfuc Tradition " was a rewriting of "Family Tradition by Bocephus Williams ( Sorry , in my book there is no Hank II OR III , even tho I found a CD by "III" for a dollar , and it's not bad , though his voice sounds like Dale Gribble.....I saw him , once , in the 90's,  and it was BEYOND godawful.)

and "Outlaw Scumfuc" was a rewrite of "Longhaired RednecK" by David Allen Coe  , whose X-Rated albums probably influenced GG a lot...... 

HE DID "sPOKEN WORD" PERFORMANCES AND RECORDINGS , clearly , the boy was'nt playing it  for laughs.

John Battles said:

GG could be VERY outgoing . He genuinely liked to meet people , especially if they shared his passion for Rock'n'Roll......GG's TASTES WERE A LOT MORE VARIED THAN MIGHT BE EXPECTED.

I'm not defending certain things he did , but , everyone that knew him , back then , agrees that he was just an enthusiatic rock and roller. He spoke of just doing a straight Rock show when he got out of Prison. Would people have NOT gone to his shows if there were suddenly no bodily fluids or violence , mostly self - inflicted , involved?

I asked him how he got Wayne Kramer and Dennis Thompson to play with him. He said "You're the first person who ever asked me that !".He said , basically , Wayne was just jamming in clubs (Gang War had just split up and he was minus a band.) , and agreed to play. Then , he found a classified ad saying Dennis Thompson was looking for a band. Neither one had seen the other for years , so they were VERY happy about this surprise GG laid out for them  . HE DONE A MITZVAH !

GG claimed he almost got Thunders to play , as Gang War was'nt yet in rigor mortis , and Johnny seemed possibly opento playing with Wayne again. Who knows?

He did two country albums, which aren't too shabby, but I'd love to have heard him do a blues album. I can easily imagine the spoken word album he was planning to do being something with innocent silliness, as opposed to the nihilism and misanthropy that was the norm.

Hey Guys, 

I'm really not trying to spam here, so feel free to delete this if you feel that I am. I just wanted to share this open opportunity for bands to be part of a Reddit Cassette Compilation that's looking for garage/punk/fuzz bands.
