I suppose you mean that Asian hair is not the same as other people's
hair. Do you have evidence for this remarkable assertion?

There was this girl where I used to work who told us she had her bush
trimmed in the shape of a heart. The girl was kind of heavy, so we all
speculated on what that would look like. The consensus was that if she
spread her legs, she'd look like Dumbo with her massive clit dangling down
like an elepant's trunk.

I've just started William Gibson's Virtual Light, and I was thinking of
emulating the woman that Rydell saw in his head lights one night, and
having mine shaved into the shape of an exclamation point. My question
is: which font?

Not trimming but very artistic.

Regardless of the answer, both topics are positively postmodern.

I am particularly intrigued by the "sacrifice" part.

alt.tasteless has seen a couple of posts on the subject.

alt.tasteless yawned. (Especially since those posts were concerned only about
the *trimming* of pubic hair.)

Even the occasional reader of a.t should know that the above description
is tame compared to the usual quality of tastelessness in that group.

Now, if you were talking about a performance artist who was going to walk
on stage, burn off his pubic hair by leaning against a red-hot steel
girder, then pee on himself to unstick his flesh where it burned-and-stuck
to the girder, then wrap lengths of barbed wire around the girder before
ramming it up his rectum...

Sideways.

Slowly.

While twisting the girder.

...*then* *maybe* alt.tasteless would consider discussing it further.

I used to be in this hard-core band, and the lead singer would shave
words into the hair on his head (usually just "HATE" but sometimes his
girlfriend's name - fortunately his hair grew very quickly, because he
didn't stick with the same chick for very long - also, he looked kinda
like Tommy Smothers, if you could imagine Tommy Smothers as a
skinhead). Anyway, I tried to shave my sweetie's initials into my
bush, but I didn't really have a fine enough razor, or the patience,
to do it in any type of legible manner.

I miss being in the band. I played guitar, evn though I don't really
know how, but since it was PUNK, it didn't really matter. I just
banged on the strings with one of my many squeak toys, and slid a Pez
dispenser aup and down the neck. The bassist kept playing throughout
her pregnancy - we played CBs when she was 8-1/2 months gone, she wore
a leopard skin bikini & looked great. The lead singer used to puke
his guts up before & after every show - seriuos stage fright - and
would often break a beer bottle over his head during the show. He
wrote me a love song once (yeah, he went out with me for a coupla
weeks, too), called "Gargle My Johnson."

Damn! I miss the early eighties. I'm getting really old. I just got
Rhinos 1975-77 New York compiliation & it made me nostalgic as all
shit. If you havd told me back in '77 that some day I'd get all
sentimental listening to the Dictators, I'd have spit in your face.

Sigh.

Might well be. There wasn't anything particularly original in my example;
it was, after all, just an example.

(I did write a few original pieces for a.t a while ago, including "Tasteless
Twister" and about the sorry state of the produce department of the local
Real Canadian Superstore (sort of the equivalent to Safeway. Or NTUC
Fairprice.) They might be in some a.t archive somewhere. My own copies
are on an unlabelled floppy somewhere, i.e. I don't know where they are
right now.)

Ok. Heat a cup of milk, but do not boil. Stir in 1/4 cup tapioca beads.
Cook for a while. Add sugar, flavor (vanilla is traditional, but almond is
nice). Mix well, cool. Eat. Enjoy.

1. Rhinos?! Who the fuck are the Rhinos?

2. Dictators?!

You're getting old? Silly girl. I get nostalgic listening to Paul
Butterfield, Traffic, Cream and Jefferson Airplane.

Back in the late 60s, early 70s, they had real music.

Gack! I'm starting to sound like my father -- he thought Glen Miller
was real music.

Oh shit, I just remembered when my father's mother and the rest of
his family would visit. Without fail, they'd show up when Lawrence
Welk was on the tube. My grandmother always wanted to watch the
bastard. I still hate that creepy fuck that played the accorion. I
wonder if he's still alive...

What, not who? So I forgot an apostrophe. So fuckin' sue me.

Rhino's one of the best record label currently in existence. Probably
the only label who can put out a compilation of bands I've never heard
of and I'll buy it at full price anyway because whoever selects their
tunage is brilliant. They put out a comp of songs that mention
teenagers dying (e.g. Leader of the Pack, The Homecoming Queen's Got a
Gun, Endless Sleep), and a comp of the worst music ever released -
including Kazoo'd on Classics, adn everyone's favorite hum-along,
Fluffy. They put out awesome Blues comps, trash comps, garage comps,
surf comps, you name it.

Yes, I'm getting old. Judging from the above you are already old.
Perhaps you are even dead. It is difficult for me to imagine any
living, sentient being listening to Clapton jerk-off on the guitar and
enjoying it.

Though maybe you enjoy it for the same reasons I enjoy the Hues
Corporation, head cheese and maggot-infested cat brains smeared across
the highway.

Yeah! Herman's Hermits! Joni Mitchell! Donovan! it doesn't get any

Of course, at least Alice Cooper was doing pretty interesting stuff
back then. like hanging out with Zappa and releasing Million Dollar
Baby (special bonus points for anyone who knows who did the backing
vocals on that one).

Maybe I should mention a couple of late 60's, early 70's bands that made
a lasting mark on rock 'n' roll history, like Argent perhaps. Or maybe
Gary Glitter. Or what's-his-face, the guy who sang "MacArthur Park."

We don't want to hear about your bloody real crappy music, you aging
hippie. We're sick of hearing about how it's so god-like and
world-changing and the best thing since sliced bread. We want to hear some
good old fashion punk, before it was called "alternative" music, so take

Jimi Hendrix and the original Experience, opening for The Monkees,
Charlotte, NC, 1969.

Your humble narrator in attendance.

Place filled with what passed for hippiedom in the South at that time.
Hendrix quit, the joint emptied out, and was refilled with assorted
gangs of teeny-boppers there to see the Monkees.

Truly a strange evening.

No, Jimi didn't fuck his guitar.

No, he's dead. (As in extended dirt nap, not traveling with Jerry Garcia)

However, I did get a wonderful come on from the Welk Resort in Palm Springs
wanting me to come on out and join in on the fun and relaxation. They even
had a picture of (now dead) Lawrence hovering over his (dwarf) son at the
bar.

You don't 'spose they really dug the old fucker up and have him mounted

He just wrote it. The British actor Richard Harris sang the song
orignally, and Donna Summer did a disco version in the late 70's.

Reminds me of a bar I used to frequent years ago. Opening to 4:45 pm, it
was an old man's bar, you know, peaceful, dull, pour-the-drinks-and-maybe-
if-we-can-get-the-energy, we'll shoot some pool.

By 4:50pm, the oldsters had left, because at 5:00 the first biker would
stagger through the door, followed by somewhere between 20-200 of his
closest friends. I think the Milwaukee P.D. hired extra cops just for
Jake's.

Great jukebox at this place. Divided right down the middle. Left side,
Glenn Miller, etc. Right side, Hard rock/Metal.

Ain't it a pity the kids have no grounding in music? They think of the

Sounds like your father suffered from the same condition as the kiddies

Well, I just use flour and water for a yorkshire pudding, and the mix
is, well, very like spooge if it is the right consistency. Smells

serving that to mum and dad.

ugh!

Now, I was about 22 when Tears for Fears was popular, and therefore
PROBABLY not too old to enjoy new music. Mostly I was listening to
The Television Personalities, Butthole Surfers, early Camper van
Beethoven, the Replacements, the Residents (I think they were doing
their American Artists series at the time, fuckin' brilliant), et
cetera.

Not liking Tears for Fears has nothing to do with age - it has to do
with taste. Of course, this being alt.tasteless, you should be
forgiven, even if you were advocating Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

The really great thing about Pat is that it's obvious he has NO idea
of what he's singing about. Ditto for 50's vocal groups like The
Crew-Cuts. They'd cover all these great cross-over hits, completely
oblivious to the references in the lyrics. On of my favorite Boone
songs is "That's How Much I Love You." Sample lyrics:

"If you were a pussy,
With pretty glossy fur
I'd sit and I would pet you
And listen to you purr."

Not much by today's standards, but it's amazing to me that Patty-Boy
could sing this and not know what it means.

The Crew-Cuts do a song called Chop Chop Boom, which is about whacking
off. The way they've arranged it, the entire band does backing
vocals, with all of them joyously intoning:

"Chop Chop Booo-oom!
Chop Chop Booo-oom!"
Chop Chop!!"

Do these guys KNOW they're having an audio circle jerk?

I really miss the old days. Nowadays if Two Live Crew wants to sing
about sex, they just put the word "fuck" into the lyrics 78 times, and
get taken to court. The Treniers, on the other hand, could write a
song called "Poontang" that got air play because none of the white
station managers knew what it meant.

I guess I really AM old,

Ain't this the truth. Part of the fun of figuring out Beatles's lyrics
was finding out the chorus backing of "Girl" was the lads singing "tit"
over and over. Not to mention the references in "Lady Madonna"

The black R&B groups were also pretty successful at getting drug
references onto AM radio as well. "Spoonful" has variously been
interpreted as a spoonful of spooge or a spoonful of heroin.
At any rate, it was 10cc (and that's where that name came from).

I always liked Lowell George's dirty lyrics. I couldn't figure out
what "Skin It Back" meant until George told an interviewer that
he wasn't circumsized.

Now, Matt, this is *strange*.

Hendrix opening for the Monkees I understood, 'cause Hendrix was
still pretty unknown at the time and I figured the promoter probably
assumed that the Experience was just another guitar band.

However, in '74, Led Zep had been around for almost 10 years and
Feliciano longer than that. Anyone who didn't know who these folks
were was just plain stupid.

And, JEEZE, Norman OK? Oral Roberts territory? Whoah!

Hmm, I need to point out two different "Spoonful" songs, both
delta blues.

"My Baby Loves Me (about a lovin' spoonful)" by Big Mama Thornton
is a reference to spooge and is where John Sebastian got that name.

"Spoonful" by (?) Johnson - damn, can't think of his first name - was
covered by Cream, among other folks and has such lines as "Trust that
spoon full of lightning." Generally considered to be about heroin.

Not the Who, the Amboy Dukes. Big hit out of Detroit in '67 and '68
with "Journey to the Center of Your Mind" and "Baby Please Don't Go"
among others. Set the stage for MC5 and other Motor City madmen.

I've got a copy of their one-and-only album on Swann Records. Funky
and loud.

>I guess I ain't that old, after all.

Only if you can remember when radio stations played both black
and white artists. Jeese, it was nice hearing "Strawberry Fields
Forever" followed by Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On".

On AM yet.

Back in them days, the Dead _were_ a punk band.

SSC Part: My first concert

Gary Puckett & the Union Gap
Paul Revere & the Raiders
The Association

At the Yale Bowl. This was _not_ when they were part of some '60s revival,
either. "Along Comes Mary", "Hungry" and "Woman, Woman" were still on the
charts. The Assoc. did some shtick about being from Harvard, and were
cutting on the Yalies. They also made remarks about "Cherish" actually
being titled "Cherries" that were considered rather scandalous at the
time.

Cream did a pretty good job with 'Spoonful.'

But, here's a REAL good one. The Spencer Davis version of "I'm a Man."
Steve Windwood wrote it, and was with them at the time. The '45'
was sent out and made it to black radio stations. They liked it
and it was getting a lot of air time. Then, they found out it
was a *white* group and stopped playing it. Seems there was no
picture on the jacket.

That'd be Robert Johnson. He's responsible for a good deal of Clapton's
early success (wrote "Crossroad blues" which Clapton adapted, and gave him a
lot of his style. He also wrote "Sweet home Chicago" which Blues Brothers
fans will recognise. Mind you he was doing this shit in the ?twenties or

Yo, I'll say it: I'm jealous. I've always kicked myself for not
seeing Cream. Missed their Fillmore date by two days in '67. As
a matter of fact I'm sad I didn't get to see Clapton in his
heroin days - his peak, of course - and only first saw him in
his alcoholic days.

He did put on a fun show, staggering drunkenly around the stage and
occasionally pawing at the extremely attractive Yvonne Elliman,
who was wearing a halter top (that should give you an idea of the date
of this show) and a pair of Hawaiian draw-string pants.

The highlight of the show for me was when he finally connected and
demonstrated that Elliman was not wearing panties under those
flimsy cotton pants.


>Greatful Dead - see Cream

Hm, first saw Tull in '71 when he was touring behind the "This Was"
and "Benefit" albums. I'll say that Ian Anderson tells the best
dirty jokes on stage, including several involving the (allegedly small)
penis of Martin Barre.

I was given (my first!) joint at that show. It was free.

You are Wrong, Sir!! Winters is the ugliest _two_ men in rock, since they
are identical mutant twins. _That_ is no small thing. Besides the Winters
Boys, "Lemmy" of Motorhead stands a good chance of winning "Ugliest Man in
Rock", if you ask me. And what about that chinless geek that "sings" for
Judas Priest? I think there could be some contention for such a title.

Robert Johnson was possibly the most bizarre guy to come out of that era.
Guy had an _interesting_ life(and death).

It is, truly, one to grep a bio for...

What!? You've never heard of the frigging Amboy Dukes? Well, neither
have most people, I suppose. I picked up a fairly trashed copy of their
first album, "Journey to the Center of Your Mind", for a buck about
ten years ago, just for the decorative possibilities. The jacket has an
impressive collection of a couple hundred `smoking devices' artfully
arranged in a semicircle. I was always amused by this, since old Ted
has been virulently anti-drug for years. Not too many people ever bring
up that album in interviews with him, I'll wager.

The first concert I ever went to was a Sepultura concert in Hawaii.
I didn't actually listen to Sepultura, but went because it was a chance
to catch a metal concert and not a lot of metal bands come through
Hawaii. Sepultura was pretty much blown away by their opening band,
which was a local band called Optimum Fury.

The concert was held in this big warehouse sort of place with a stage
set on one side. Someone had hired about fifteen huge samoans to work
security, and they sat on the stage shoving people away. One of the
samoans worked in the crowd with the job of helping up people who
had fallen lest they be trampled.

If you've never been to a small venue metal concert, it has an interesting
setup, basically divisable into three segment. The back group of
people are standing listening to the music. The middle group of people
are moshing and basically slamming around trying to hurt each other.
The front consists of people mashed up against the stage. I was in the
front, having realized that some of the metal groupies were up there
in such a stage of mash and adrenalin that you could give them a feel
and they often wouldn't even notice. Often, people from the middle
would dive onto the people in the front, in the hopes that people
would pick them up and carry them. Another splendid opportunity to
get a quick feel.

tasteless bits
- One of the guys got drunk before the show, and went around spraying
beer on people. This is a BAD THING to do to the mostly psychotic
metal crowd. Halfway through the concert, this guy was on his hands
and knees crying after being moshed the shit out of. The samoan saves
him from being trampled.
- Two guys come up to me and one of them asks me for help in picking
up the second and throwing him onto the people up front. I take hold
of a leg, and me and guy 1 throw guy 2. Guy 2 lands on guy 3's head, and
they both go down. Guy 1 and I make ourselves scarce, fast.
- A guy in the front brought his girlfriend, who was small and shouldn't
really have been in the front with him, as she could have been easily
squashed. The boyfriend spent the entire concert trying to keep people
from slamming into his girlfriend. Girlfriend was in the throes of
ecstacy hoping that a member of Sepultura would sweat on her. She
had smallish, firm tits that fit nicely against my palm.
- At the very end of the concert, some freak got onto the stage. The samoans
started to chase him, and finally the guy takes a flying leap off the
stage. He shouldn't have trusted the metal crowd; they parted before him
like the red sea before Moses, and he smacked the hard floor very
audibly. The samoan came to keep him from being trampled, and what
does this wastoid do upon regaining his feet? Starts yelling 'Heavy metal!
Heavy metal!'

When I lived in Hawaii about ten years ago, we had an occasional metal
concert. I saw Ritchie Blackmore at the UH Amphitheater once. His
band ended up cutting their show short because of violence in the crowd.
The big ticket, though, was the show at Aloha Stadium at the end of
every August called Summer Blowout.

The first time I went, the bands were Blue Oyster Cult, Molly Hatchett,
and Ronnie Montrose's band Gamma. The second time, it was Black Sabbath,
Blue Oyster Cult and Heart. (A hell of a line-up for one show, I must
admit.) This was during Sabbath's Ronnie James Dio period (the 'Heaven
and Hell' tour), and before Nancy Wilson really blimped out -- althogh
she was a trifle porky even then.

These shows attracted a pretty wide variety of people; there were the
metalheads, the North Shore surfer and bohemian crowd of which I and
my friends were a part, the hardcore military from the many bases
aroun' da island, and a veritable host of others. Climbing the stairs
up into the stadium before one of these concerts, I saw a burly Marine
passed out cold. He'd been leaning against one of the waist-high
concrete walls surrounding the lower level outside the stands when he
lost consciousness. The guy's head was on the top of the wall, facing
away from the structure, with a three-foot streak of vomit trickling
from his mouth. The poor bastard never even made it inside. Then while
Heart was playing, my roommate Eric, who'd eaten a shitload of shrooms
before the show and consumed Ghod Knows what other substances as well,
ended up puking copiously on the heavy plastic sheet covering the front
of the stage. He'd been partying pretty hard before our group even left
Hale'iwa, so I wasn't too surpised by this; it was only a matter of time
before his system reached critical mass. Fortunately I was far enough
away not to get splattered.

Forgiven? I would have thought supporting Frankie was a minimum

My favorite jerkoff song (that's about not for) is Jackson Browne's "Rosie"
off his "Running on Empty" Album.

Rosie you're all right
You wear my ring
When I hold you tight
Honey that's my thing
When I turn out the lights
I gotta hand it to me
Looks like its me and you tonight

I think the ugliest is the guitar palyer for Adam Ant. NO I never listened to
that shit, but I'm a whore, I'll work for anybody. I even worked for
Ernest Angely -- not that is truly tasteless!!!

Wow, this thread is making me feel younger and younger by the minute-- I'm just
about ready to dwindle into fetushood... the first real concert I went to (the
1987 Monkees reunion show at Merriweather Post Pavilion doesn't count-- we're
ALL stupid in 8th grade!) was U2, on their Zoo TV tour. A cool show though,
almost worth the forty bucks...

Ahhh, yes... he did an acoustic show at Jolly Armrest... his opening act was
some guy strapped into a wheelchair, who managed to plunk through his set by
flailing his apparently useless arm against specially-tuned strings. He looked
as though he was about to fall out of the wheelchair, an event which sadly
never happened. His name was Vince Something-or-other, and he was actually
pretty good... anyone know more about him? I think we have a potential A.T.

Yes, that he does. Kinda a counter to John Lee Hooker's big bass voice.
Johnson sounds more like a screechy falsetto (but what the fuck, the blues
is the blues).

Obtasteless: From the world of jazz, courtesy legendary female jazz & blues
singer Billie Holiday.

Seems Billie was in a club (back in the forties) that was segregated. They
had a white mens bathroom, a white women's bathroom, and a black mens
bathroom, but nothing for the black ladies.

After being told by some cunt of a white waitress that she couldn't use the
white women's bathroom, and she couldn't use _either_ men's bathroom, Billie
proceeded to hike up her skirt and piss right there on the floor, all the
time looking the bitch dead in the eye. Not one to take any shit (from a
white woman anyway), our Billie.

OBbbbbbbbbbbbbrrrrrrrr!

FUCK is it cold in Wisconsin (as well as most of the midwest and east).

-15 most of today, with wind chills to -65

Spend 10 hours going from job to job today, and had to stop to (guess)
install a new battery in the van. My feet have finally thawed, and the
feeling is coming back to them.

A small bit of tastelessness: I've got a full beard & mustache. That means
I've had a mustache full of frozen snot for most of today, as the shit just
freezes the minute it dribbles out. Then I go inside and feel the snot
thawing & oozing over my lip. Yummy-salty!

Fucking Hell, barb, what the piss were you thinking when you posted this?

You left two unrelated elements(one _totally_ unrelated, even) intact in
their entirety to make a _one_ line comment on another section(which
could have been trimmed down as I did above). How fucking intelligent does
a person have to be to realise that this is a total waste?

Strangely, I feel a wee bit stupid when I actually keep reading these messages,
knowing that, after pages of included text, there is no gem resting at the
bottom(or buried in the middle, as it is here). The people who have this
tendency of leaving too much text are also strangely devoid of any intellect,
and can make no statement more inspired than,``Why didn't you save this for
Black History Month?''

Go away, and never darken this network again.

OBTasteless:

I've developed, over the last month and a half, a little urinary oddity.
_Every_ time I tinkle, I blow some sort of plug into the toilet, then piss
flows at a 90deg angle _down_ from my penis. After about five seconds, it
normalizes, and flows normally.

While peeing, it feels quite good, like scratching an itch that has bothered
you for hours. After I am finished, I am greeted by a fierce burning, and
any pressure directed inwardly on the organ, right behind the glans, is
_quite_ painful(as if there is a large solid wedged in there).

Then after the pain goes away, it itches like hell.

Too bad I can't really brag about this at parties(women seem to be turned
off by this), as I could have even _more_ fun with it.

I could have but I didn't, you chunk of shit with undigested corn
nibbits lodged it in. I like pissing off imbeciles like you. It must be
rough having 47 chromosomes.

Actually one could have easily asked that hairy dyke mom of yours the same

Stop lying, you feel very stupid, and that's okay because you are (very stupid)

Obviously you're too stoopid to get it. Here's a tip, have an adult explain it
to you, preferably one that's literate (that excludes any of your family
members).

It must be those penile implants. Does your mommy like them?
