THAT'S what kept you from murdering anybody in art school?  You, sir, are a model of self-control.

Oh yeah, I saw that.  He also mimicked jamming the microphone up his ass, which was pretty awesome as well.  I wish I could remember his treatise on men's vs. women's bathrooms.  He actually had some very salient points.

Oh fuck me.  They've found a way to pimp this as well?  OK, let's start selling "Salo Shit Sandwiches" out of a food cart.  The "consumers" would be dumb enough to pay for them, with the right sort of marketing strategy.

I think the catalogue continues to be run from "Bosomania!".  One would think from the name, they'd be much cooler about things.  However, whatever law-school hack they have on retainer has advised them to be utter pricks about such matters.

That depends on whether you have the money to pay musicians, or you're playing with people who have love for the music & a few drink tickets.  The latter are very, very much harder to acquire, unfortunately.

Holy crap.  I didn't think it was possible for me to become disturbed by anything any more.  Congratulations, sir!

Yes, she was— and remains— a very attractive woman. I also recall the "Private School" chick riding the horse on broadcast channel 57. Broadcast channel 57 was always a reliable source for pre-internet jerkoff material.

And agreed, not a great name.  Want a great band name in the age of digital piracy?  The The were light-years ahead of all of us.  !!! and The 1990's weren't far behind.

Saw it at age 10.  It gave me an extremely unwanted attraction for Fran Drescher.  It was only Phoebe Cates with "Moving in Stereo" that managed to remedy my situation.

Regrettably, I failed to inspect.  Judging from my cursory overview of his physiological/psychological state, I wouldn't necessarily rule out incontinence.  They put on a great show, regardless.

The fewer musicians to round up, the better.  It's like herding cats.

I once waited in line for the mens' room behind Davidson at a Turks show.  He was just as hyper and jumpy as one would expect.

The Marx Brothers movies???  Now I KNOW you're just fuckin' with me.  I will concede "Freaks", however.  Good day, sir.

The part where the black chick is swinging around the giant three-foot strap-on is particularly memorable: "Sweet Little Alice, I gonna toss you off RIGHT!"

One of my favorite parts is when the gang accepts the dinner invitation from the creepy old man and Varla says seductively, "Should we dress up, or do you mind if we stay comfortable?"  while all three women are stuffed into clothes three sizes too small, and look anything BUT "comfortable".  Man, my college roommates

Tons of crazy licensing issues with Meyer's estate.  I'm lucky enough to have a mom & pop video store nearby where I can rent them, but last time I looked, the DVDs sold for something like $70 each.  From that perspective, one really can't blame people for online piracy.

You make an excellent point.  I will have to review my catalogue to verify.  "Up!" initially astonished me, but that movie is an uncomfortably intimate look into Meyer's psyche.  Between Hitler, the crazy hardcore sex, and crediting an ichthyologist as a member of the crew, that film is a total freak-out.

Best part of Motor Psycho, in my opinion, is when the biker phones his mom while he & his bikers are gang-raping the chick.  Russ Meyer must've been a blast to party with.

No, all films from the '30s seem so shrill and strident.  Perhaps it was a condition of the times, getting accustomed to sound and color.  Film didn't really start getting good again until "The Maltese Falcon" (1941).

Wow, the universe is really depressing the shit out of me this month.  Haji was my favorite of the Meyer girls; the vagueness/interchangeability of her ethnicity always amused me, as well as her bouncing, jiggling boobs.
