Speaking of the Cramps, I happened to be in a bar that was showing wierd
underground videos last night. One of them was about twenty minutes of the
Cramps playing at a free concert for the California State Mental Hospital in
Napa, CA. It was from 1978, so real vintage stuff. Lux Interior was jerking
and writhing around as usual, but the fact that there were all these mental
patients hopping around and grabbing at him made it even wilder than usual.
At one point he was passing the microphone around for various people to
sceach into. I remember one thing he said:

	       "We drove over 3,000 miles to play for you people.
		Yeah, they tell me you all are crazy, but you look
		allright to me!"

Too much! Another anecdote: when they were playing in Boston about two years
ago (they usually do a show here on Halloween), some guy up front was trying
to start a fight with Lux Interior, so Lux takes his microphone and starts
beating the guy on the head with it, which of course was greatly amplified
creating a BOOM BOOM BOOM in the place. Then he says, "let that be a lesson.
Rock and Roll is about f*cking, not fighting!"

Also at this bar were shown two flicks from the southern CA punk scene,
"Suburbia" and "Desperate Teenage Lovedolls". The latter falls into the
"so bad, it's good" category. Anyone heard of either of these?
