[kj] GG Allin

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

I always heard his master plan was to bring an AK-47 to his last show, 
off the entire audience, thent urn the gun on himself.

The rumor added an extra bit of intensiy and fear to any and every GG 
Allin show. Would this be the show where he comes on stage with the AK? 
Oh shit!

He never did it.

But towards the ends, in the golden age of trash talk show TV (Morton 
Downey Jr, etc.) he would appeara, bald, with goth/fetish chicks and 
fans all around him -- and honestly I think marilyn Manson stole some of 
GG's "sick fuck" type ideas. Only GG really was pure, authentic DIY. He 
would never refuse an interview with any small time, piss ant DIY 
photocopy punk zine, no matter how insignificant, would diligently write 
back to people whow roete him, and really, truly, "lived the life." He 
set the bar for sick fuck scum punk, for whatever that's worth.
