Actually, I do have a G.G. Allen story.
But it's not really pertinent to the topic, as there is no way in hell you would catch me at one of his shows.

That reminds me of a TSOL show I went to in the late '90s at the Troubadour in Hollywood. Some drunk (and/or high) guy climbed over the balcony and was dancing on the ledge in his underwear. Then he ran along the ledge, jumped off the little roof above the stairs (making a big hole in said stairs), and landed on the stage, taking out a bunch of stage lights in the process. Somehow, he managed to get up and walk away. What was strange is that the bouncers didn't even seem ticked off at him.

Darwin was asleep at the wheel for that guy.

I'm of two minds regarding Jesus Lizard. On one hand, they seem to contain all the cheesy UNCOMPROMISINGLY! ANTI-CORPORATE! FIERCELY ANTI-ANTI! DEFIANTLY UNDERGROUND! 1990s rock stereotypes/cliches...yet, still, I really like some of their songs...

I always want to make it clear that just because I say I don't like something doesn't mean I think someone else is an idiot for liking it. Furthermore, I know people who say they're all nice fellows, but I'm just not picking up on the "DAVID YOW AND THE JESUS LIZARD ARE THE MOST BRILLIANT AND GENIUS PERFORMERS EVAH!!!" line dropped by all the critics and fans. I mean, it just looks and sounds like a sloppy, shirtless guy writhing around and groaning in front of two other guys banging on their instruments to me. To me, the subtext seems to be, "Too young to have seen the Stooges? Well, here's your chance to see another howling maniac in front of a noisy band."

And I don't get the Stooges either, because I am mean.

Never caught that vibe from you, DK. My point was that I consider something like the Jesus Lizard more guilty pleasure-territory than, say, J-Lo, who I like but I don't feel too guilty about liking, mainly because I'm keen on that sort of impressive tripe.
