GG Allin Doc "Hated" Screens Tonight in Hollywood

Certain things are just undebatable. Pete Rose was the greatest hitter in baseball, Michael Jordan was the greatest basketball player of all, LAist is the greatest blog about LA, and GG Allin was the most punk rock punk rocker who ever took the stage.

He cut himself with beer cans, he shat on the stage and rubbed it on himself, he accepted gay oral favors as he sang, and he kicked fans in the front row in the head with his cowboy boots. All while being mostly naked.

His band, the Murder Junkies, had the best name of any punk rock band. And the songs that he sang weren't half bad.

But simply the fact that a dude with the tiniest penis you ever saw could scatter an entire crowd by merely heading towards them, is a power that even Johnny Rotten couldn't conjure.

The shocking documentary about Allin's life, death, and funeral, Hated, is screening tonight for just $5 at the Knitting Factory after all the bands stop playing. We dare you not to be impressed by this deeply missed legend.

Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time? really? i'm gonna have to go ahead and give my vote to the other MJ. The one who shined in purple and gold.

Tony, Tony, Tony...Pete Rose? He's just a record-holder. Ted Williams is the true G.O.A.T. Barry Bonds would be breaking his home-run record if Ted hadn't flew fighter pilots in the war during the prime of his career.

 

if youre gonna go there Josh, then should i discount Ted for not having to face Black pitchers, or real relief pitchers?

all i know is Charley Hustle got more hits than anyone and played every position in the All Star Game except pitcher and catcher

far more than just a record holder

 

Deeply missed my ass.
