Commented on Lux Interior, CRAMPS founder, has died.
I went to see The Cramps the very first time they played here in Detroit, in the late Seventies, at Bookie's on Six Mile. No one really knew who they were at the time, the place was maybe half-full at...
Commented on R. Crumb's Book of Genesis coming in 2009
Legendary cartoonist/illustrator Basil Wolverton found religion at some point in his later years, and did renderings based on Biblical subject matter. I guess it only makes sense that none other than Crumb should follow in his footsteps....
Commented on Warhol, Spielberg, Bianca Jagger on a hotel bed...
So let's take this to its inevitable conclusion. Spielberg pooped a transistor....
Commented on Plymouth Barred Rock chicks
I'm glad the chicks arrived healthy, whole and bereft of trauma. Reminds me of those old Chihuahua in a Teacup ads on the back of comic books in the early Sixties. Mickey Roarke played a character who hated and feared...
Commented on Adult film director Max Hardcore sentenced to 4 years in prison on obscenity charges (UPDATE)
I don't have the time or patience to read all the previous comments (And there are many), but being somewhat familiar with Little AKA Max and his repellent handiwork, I can't help but wonder if whether or not he might...
Commented on Lester Bangs audio interview
NEWWAVE, Re. Metal Machine Music, here's from the same article mentioned above, in reference to the same "little jerks from Punk magazine": "...they all huddled in the kitchen, so I put on Metal Machine Music to see if I could...
Commented on Lester Bangs audio interview
MARKFREI, I never went to Menjo's, but I think Bangs went there because he had such an open mind about music overall, good, bad or otherwise. There are actually two books of his writings, the aforementioned Carburetor Dung and the...
Commented on Lester Bangs audio interview
I met Lester once, and only once, when he was walking into Bookie's with Rob Tyner. Bookie's was a punk club in a very bad neighborhood on McNichols in Highland Park, which isn't Detroit but might as well be, since...

#32 - I had the same introduction. Twelve years old I am, and there he is on screen, deep-throating a mic in those leatherette pants that barely reach up to his crotch. I learned a lot that evening. Damn shame he's gone. Keep rocking, Ivy....

Not sure I'd call this a cartoon bible, Sando. But I certainly hope this site will give the book an insightful review. It'll be within 8 months now as the hype builds up towards the release.....my big question will be how well Robert Crumb himself will promote or help the publisher promote the book via personal appearances, book signings and interviews. It would be interesting hearing other's viewpoints!...
otto117 commented on Adult film director Max Hardcore sentenced to 4 years in prison on obscenity charges (UPDATE)
/"Not infrequently, [Max Hardcore] scenes are fraught with pedophilia themes, beginning when he stumbles upon his subjects in playgrounds, where they sit alone, in pigtails, talking baby-talk, and sucking on lollipops. "/ "Not infrequently" means? Well, it makes no difference anyway. Anyone who has the slightest interest in underage girls wouldn't be interested in Max. They're too busy watching videos of Maria Isabel, which are far more erotic than anything in Hardcore's films. You people who trade in kiddieporn paranoia should really get over it. You will NEVER be able to censor enough material to stop people from fantasizing. (That...
