[kj] your first "punk" gig.....

[Bill Meissner]

   No, I don't know George - but I know who he is. Merle is a piece of
shit,always in his brothers shadow and now trying to control anything to
do with G.G. for his own financial gain. Merle was cool back in the
day,but as soon as G.G. died he turned into a money grubbing dope fiend.
My friend was G.G.'s best friend for years and owns a lot of 1 of a kind
early G.G. LP's (G.G. used to do all the covers by hand) Merle was
trying to get these records from him and made a big stink when he
wouldn't give them up. I own a few paintings done by G.G. and a lock of
his pubic hair that he sent me from prison years ago.

Hahaha....I had a chance to go see GG Allin at the Space at Chase on 3rd
Avenue (but completely wimped out, because clearly I'm a huge pussy).
The show ended up being the one filmed for the documentary "Hated" (and
judging from the footage, I did the right thing by staying home). I had
every intention of going to see him at one point, but then he up and
died on us (and not in the way he'd promised --- that he was going to
shove a stick of dynamite up his ass, light it and run into the
audience, taking a few folks with him). 

 

I used to see his brother, Merle, hanging around St.Mark's Place a lot.
I talked to him once or twice, and he's actually an entirely nice,
approachable dude. 

 

FREAKS FAGGOTS DRUNKS AND JUNKIES is also a great goddamn record, I
don't care what anyone says. 

 

GG ALLIN....Rest in peace.

Billy....did you know George Tabb by any chance?

	    My first Punk gig was G.G. ALLIN- it was the first time he
ever ate his own shit on stage. It was in a room at a fucking iceskating
rink. I saw G.G. about 10 other times after that- he was a personal
friend for years. I played in a band called BLOODY MESS and the SKABS,
my singer was a good friend who introduced me to him. Those shows were
as intense as a show can be....scary

	You know... I could have sworn The Plimsouls did. For I remember
people wearing R.I.P. shirts with them on at my school. I have tried to
google it but nothing is coming up. It was so long ago - LB
