The Cramps were my first real show. I was 12, and it was at the Cameo Theatre on Washington Avenue, a street known for its girly XXX clubs and sex shops. I had a big crush on Lux Interior. I... really can't explain it. He came out onstage, twirling the mic stand from his crotch, and I was gone. Oh, hormones.
The Cameo Theatre is now Crobar, a not-so-good club owned by one of those celebrities that makes you wonder how they got all their money. Is it Lenny Kravitz who owns it? I think it's Lenny Kravitz, and I think he made all of his money from hustling or something. He has to be a gigolo, right? Because seriously, how did he ever get enough money to buy that super swank pad Gawker had me drooling over?
Yeah. Total hooker.
On topic, I gotta say that naked guy in the Dwarves is somewhere near the top of the list. Don't go near the front of the stage unless you want a guy wearing a puroresu mask essentially teabagging you. Yeah.

No Kid Rock/Joe C special combo? He should be on it just for the beard that never grows, but never looks like it's trimmed or clipped or washed. Man I used to like that crap. I used to be an IDIOT.

Do it right man.
You should have said:
"Ummm... Erick Purkhiser of The Cramps...
Oh that's right you might know him as Lux Interior (in a profoundly sarcastic tone)."
Get with the program, son.

It's Chuck Berry not Barry
-
I meant to write "Chuck Barris."
I also corrected it to indicate that it's Scharpling's list, not mine.
The archive of that show is hilarious. A familiar-sounding caller indicates his love for Gary Puckett's love for freshly nubile young ladies. He also relates how he was frustrated in his pursuit of such targets, and was instead arrested for "making love to a car." "In a car?" Tommy asks, trusting that he's misheard.
Oh, no - not "in a car."
-
What about Gary Glitter?
-
jesse keeler (JFK) from death from above 1979 and Mstrkrft as well as rumoured to be queens of the stone age.

Pete Townshend
Eazy-E
Too $hort
(if rap is a kind of rock)
-
I met Pete Townshend once. He was shorter than I expected. And deaf. Not noticeably sleazy, however. Could have been the context.

You were over 18, I take it?
-
Twenty-three. And I met him in his guise as a children's book publisher. I suspect that might have made a difference even had I been younger. The taboo against dipping one's pen in the company ink and all.
Actually, I simply had no idea of his predilections. I am often incurious about such things.

Smokey Smothers - Hello Little School Girl
Contender????
-
2 lecherous men: Kim Fowley and James Patrick Page.
-
Well, that "School Girl" song is a no-sleazier variant of "Good Morning Little School Girl," which has been recorded by about 27,041 blues guys, not to mention The Grateful Dead.
-
There are a lot of super-gross stories about Randy Bachman (Bachman Turner Overdrive) frequenting truck stops across Canada.
-
A recent issue of the free Long Island entertainment rag "Good Times" featured an ad for the Westbury Music Fair (or whatever its current sponsor calls it.) Appearing in October is Jay Black, with special guest Gary Puckett. For some reason, under Mr. Puckett's name was printed "MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY." Almost as if a FOT was printing that copy.
