Hated is awesome. Like Alex said, it doesn't matter whether you love, hate or know nothing about GG Allin. It's a fascinating piece. Also worth checking out is the bootleg of GG's final show, taken just hours before his death. A few songs are played at some NYC venue. Looks more like someone's garage than a proper club. The show gets shut down and GG proceeds to walk down the street buck-naked before some crusty punks find him some clothes. It ends with him and said punks jumping in a cab, leaving the cameraman to watch as they drive away and that's where it ends. Apparently, what followed was he went to someone's apartment, shot heroin and died.

Cool, cheers for this, Oliver.

On a completely random note that will probably only appeal to Oliver, I was bored last night so ended up picking the newly-released (?) "special edition" of Todd Phillips' amazing documentary, "Hated: GG Allin & the MurderJunkies" (complete with new interviews).

If you've never seen "Hated," I can't recommend it highly enough. Whether you hate GG or adore him, it's just a great, hilarious and bizarre film. Seek it out. But -- as you can probably guess -- it's not for the faint of heart/weak of stomach.
