As If Life Weren't Sad Enough Today...

Will the ghost of Wendy O please return from the grave with a chainsaw and do something about this? I think I'm gonna yak. It's true. Getting old is just ugly and frightening sometimes.

I had the pleasure of seeing the Plasmatics live in 1981...I was both frightened and turned on by Ms. Williams...it was quite a night.

Good christ.

That has nothing to do with age. That has everything to do with Western Civilization's last shread of remaining dignity.

If Wendy O isn't around, I wonder if Tura Satana would be willing to kick her ass.

that is so fucking benign I can't bare to think people spent time and $$ on putting it together...

it just reminds that there is a cabin in the woods with my name on it...

[catelin.livejournal.com]

Hehehe! That's too bad, because the only thing that would make me feel better about this picture is knowing a bunch of prisoners are beating off to Christine's naughty lil' fauxhawk. ; )

Awwwghgh!!! You said the D-word! I had completely forgotton about her! Reform School Girls was a hoot. But Sting...don't even get me started on him. He's reached poser nirvana, dude.

[catelin.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't she just? It's funny even thinking about it...she was one of a kind, for sure.

[catelin.livejournal.com]

I never saw them live, but I adored her. She was a beautiful savage, as we all aspired to be back then.

Punk will eat itself as well, I suppose. Oh, and Tura! That would be something! Faster Posercat, Kill Kill!

[catelin.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah...that's what's truly sickening---imagining the twisted little fucks who have no eyes to see what's wrong with this picture. Sad, sad. Oh, and I have a Little House™ in the woods. Anytime you feel like taking a drive, head out east on I-10 and look for the bats. I keep a guest room just for those who need a bit an escape from the real world.

beyond a tough cookie she was human hardtack!!

[cpmcdill.livejournal.com]

I missed that! When did Wendy O die?

[catelin.livejournal.com]

She died back in 1998. Shot herself in the head.

[budhaboy.livejournal.com]

It was always about the money...

everyone bye Lyden seemed to understand that.

[catelin.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...everyone but Lyden and me, you mean. Cynic. *snort* ; )

[chaizzilla.livejournal.com]

she must have seen this decade coming better than i did

I've been out of the loop with that scene. I was into Plasmatics in the early-mid 80s, and got bored with punk by the late 80s as I developed an interest in early-mid 20th C. recorded music.

Hm. Anyway, that picture in rolling stone reminds me that pop magazines always co-opt the fringe. They did it to hippy, glam, early new wave, grunge, hiphop, and countless other subgenres. Of course, SPIN is even worse that way. At least with Rolling Stone one could say, "I read it for the articles."

[chaizzilla.livejournal.com]

i used to do this with my hair (and tshirts, gee), i think i've got a halloween idea forming..

[catelin.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the scene was pretty dismal in its decline. I can certainly appreciate why you'd decide it was time to move on to something more interesting. I love your music files, btw...I'm a regular at your site. : )

That's the perfect definition of Pop! Co-option of the fringe is precisely what it has always been, I think. I haven't read Rolling Stone in years...and I mean literally since the 70s. The last thing I remember reading in RS was a big article about Karen Silkwood (gawd, am I that old???). I picked up a copy of SPIN the last time I was in an airport, and it was practically unreadable.

Ha!! Brilliant. You can only do this if you promise to send me a picture! : P
