Alan Freed deserves a lot more than a yawn. Whoever wrote that is a dink!

How about the meticulously-matted and framed precious Iggy Pop “artwork” at the end of the clip. My Mom would like that. What a masterpiece-the Mona Lisa of the “I make my living bragging about how raw I was 40 years ago though now I scream at waitresses and Hotel porters for slight imperfections”-set. I.E. ALL OF THOSE GRIZZLED PUNK HERO-TYPES. True, slam-dancing at an all-ages show when your 70 is embarrassing and a little unrealistic but is aging with a sense of humor about yourself and saying JUST ONE unpredictable non-robotic sentence A YEAR too much to ask for? Here’s to Don Bolles who has done something unique in the history of punk…remained interesting.

And it’s true. He’s not a writer.

Gillian McCain gets almost no credit for “Please Kill Me,” and Jennifer Osborne gets none for “The Other Hollywood,” although it quickly became obvious to me they’d done nearly all of the hard work on those books.

In my entire time there (at a house that was being paid for and continually bailed out by the super-nice and tolerant Gillian McCain), the only thing I saw Legs write were lecherous myspace come-ons to 22-year-old punk-rock chicks…when his rich fiancee wasn’t looking.

As Buddy Young would say in “Mr. Saturday Night”…Don’t get me started!

I recently lived with Legs for over a year.

Resounding testament to the fact that my prison-mandated “Cage Your Rage” anger-management classes were effective is the fact that I didn’t beat him to death.

Roderick Edward McNeil is the worst kind of fraud.

Recognition? For what? For lying for YEARS that he invented the term “punk rock” until it became evident that other rock scribes were using the term long before he did? He wasn’t even the main force behind PUNK magazine, for fuck’s sake.

For claiming to be a “writer” when he didn’t even string a total of two of his own words together in both of his books?

For being the same sort of pompous, insufferable cock to EVERYONE that he is in this VH1 clip? Ask anyone in NYC who knows him, and you’ll get the same story.

There’s nothing worse than someone who acts like a rock star but isn’t a rock star.

Recognize!
