We used to go see early punk bands at this now defunct movie theater called the Roxy in in the Pacific Beach neighborhood of San Diego. Once in a while some great bands would be there, stuff like The Tom Robinson Band, Pere Ubu, Patti Smith and Iggy Pop.Gary Wilson and The Blind Dates would open for some of these acts. He usually got booed off or the equipment would get shut off just to stop him. He offended the tastes of many, but what did they expect? It was new and experimental music.
ok, Wilson is a unique talent and his underground, outsider status only amplifies his ostensible awesomeness, however, lets be careful not to over exaggerate or over-rate his talent. He's fun for a while and very interesting but he aint no Brian Wilson or James Brown or Andy Johnson.
I thought the exact same thing. Both men are weird geniuses that really are mega talented. It's a shame they both didn't get the recognition they deserved...But in some ways it's better as it means the music they play is pure and devoid of commercialism, plus I love being a know-it-all music fan who knows artists that the mainstream could not have even dreamed existed. It makes all us guys who appreciate, that bit more special.
Oh great... Another no talent retard who no one's ever heard of being called a genius. Wow, just what the world needs. Move over Lou Reed, there's someone new trying to steal your "no talent, full of shit, phony, douche bag" crown.
Is that Mighty Joe Longa 00:24 ? He was in The Jacks with Buddy Blue from the Beat Farmers. He's a great Hammond B3 player. Wild Man from Ocean Beach, CA....
I personally don't like him. He literally sucks
