Saw them once, back in the 90s. Dude was amazing. Great show. “Is that all you got? They yelled louder than that at Baylor, and that’s a goddamm Christian school”. He’ll definitely be missed.
Damn, hadn’t even heard that he died, though it appears it was just a month ago (Feb. 7). I first found out about him through the game, Redneck Rampage (1997), he was on the soundtrack for it.
Never played the game or heard the soundtrack, but I thought, “I bet The Reverend Horton Heat is also on it.” I looked up the soundtrack album and yep, track 3. Mojo is track 1.
I kept driving by this place that I thought was a bar when I lived in L.A. called Jumbo’s Clown Room. Eventually I thought I had to stop and go into a place with a name like that. Sadly, it was a strip club (which I’m not into anyway) with a stripper looking as I imagine another stripper could not possibly have looked as bored as she was.
Oh the original Continental Club is in Austin, been there since the 50s. The 2nd location in Houston location opened more recently. There’s a SXSW poster on the right, so I’m going to assume this was taken in Austin
For anyone that enjoyed this, Smoking Gun has been collecting contract riders like this for years. Most are the usual terms about dressing rooms, catering, and sound tech, but a few have very interesting and unusual details.
Iggy Pop’s was especially amusing, and well worth your time.
I cannot unsee that naked body of his streaking from his studio during commercial break across the KGB hall and into the bathroom one day in the 90s lmao.
He often did radio in the nude. Man was he a truly unique character.
I don’t think they have access to private cameras, but why would they need them when there are government cameras literally everywhere? I don’t know if you’ve been to London, but there are cameras on virtually every light pole. There are literally tens of thousands of government surveillance cameras in the UK.
If they can’t access private cameras, they will add so many public ones that they aren’t necessary. It’s a bigger problem than just access to private cameras.
Here we go again, what’s your thoughts on gangs in the LAPD? Why was the comment earlier about them existing not part of the conversation? Why are gangs a concern when its not the cops?
Gangs are the ones that justify cops’ existence, though. Without cops, gangs will just have their way with everyone like they do in Mexico and did in El Salvador.
We experimented with not having cops in CHAZ and gangs started killing people very quickly.
Okay, you are answering questions, now what about LA not being the most dangerous city makes it the worst place to be a cop? And why do the cops in LA keep shooting people with non dangerous objects in their hands? Why did you pivot from the questions about police corruption to pointing to gangs when cops are part of that problem?
Did you miss the whole ‘gang members are cops’ thing in the article someone pasted to you? Weird, because they quoted a relevant sentence and you responded to it.

I’m going to block you by the way. You keep following me around and replying to all of my comments adnauseam with useless information. It’s very weird.
Especially since you can look in this thread and see that I only replied to two of their comments. I guess three including the one after they said they were blocking me.
They don’t want to protect us bro. That’s why everyone hates the LAPD. Imagine being the victim of a crime and being laughed out of the station. Or getting robbed, and waiting 45 minutes for someone who literally doesn’t give a shit to show up.
Also, as someone pointed out, the only thing they do about gangs is form their own.
