Title: G.G. Allin is a laff riot!
Post by: Ralph Goldenmouth on March 25, 2009, 03:41:57 PM

I am absolutely enchanted by the way nearly any mention of the demise of King Scumf*k elicits laughter from both Tom & Mr. Wurster (the most recent example being  around half-way through the 3/24/09 show). Me likey.

I'm still waiting for the G.G. Allin comedy album, a la "Take No Prisoners."

Classic Dude, what's your favorite bit? I like the part where he riffs on Ronald Reagan.

The whole album is hilarious. In fact, it's the only Lou Reed album that I can stand. I haven't listened to it in awhile though.

I hope you know I was joking, I know nothing about Lou Reed.

Eh, whatever. Lou Reed's a jerk. If you've never listened to him, don't start.

I have no idea if Lou Reed is a jerk or not but Transformer is a great album.

Yes he is, and yes it is. I also like that other band he was in, before Wings.

I went to see that movie The Host at the NYFF and Lou Reed was standing next to me for like 30 minutes outside the theater. I ended up selling my tickets after deciding I didn't want to see a midnight screening. A few months later I went to see it on a sunday afternoon and sitting in front of me was none other than Lou Reed. IT WAS WEIRD*

I am looking forward to 'Having Fun with GG On Stage' myself.

One day they'll release all those GG Christmas albums they've been keeping in the vaults, and all my dreams will come true.

I can't wait til they release his album of torch songs, GG Sings for Only the Lonely.

I never understood why G.G. Allin was always so angry. Somebody must have stolen his bike when he was a kid.

Angry? G.G. wasn't angry, just a misunderstood artist. As Tom said to Hutch, "It's very emotional... He had so much more to offer."

You must be thinking of G. Gallin.
