Inspired by those in the Conversation>>Portable Music talking about getting others to listen to CDs you love:

I don't really enjoy GG Allin... you would think that someone could only sing about rape and murder so many times before running out of material..but!....

I found a country album that he made before he died (Carnival of Excess by GG Allin and the Criminal Quartet) , and it is incredible to say the least. To anyone with a Morpheus or Gnutella connection: listen to a scary motherfucker sing slowly with a drawl and acoustic guitar about fucking the law, Carmelita, and kissing his demons.

"Carmelia, hold me tighter, I think I'm sinking down... and I'm all strung out on heroin on the outskirts of town." Brings a tear to my eye it does...

i saw a music video of his band from BEFORE he became the shaven-headed murdering-promsiing shit-throwing maniac we all know and love. it was a motley crue esque cheeze metal band and he had goofy long hair, and pumped his fist to a driven beat that was about as heavy as "Dream Warriors."

then his wife left him and he lost his mind.

So what ever became of the he was murdered/he ODed debate? I remember reading an article about it right after he died.
