I know some operas and ballets can get pretty strange but what is mentioned above is why I am a classical music fan.

That goes back to the beginning.....think Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard.

But then you left out that wonderful era of disco,

Do you consider Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard to be radical.

In their time, they were considered to be extremely shocking and radical. Jerry Lee marrying his cousin (13 years old?)....

I'm thinking more like Black Sabbath with Ozzy Osbourne. Bite the head off of a bat. And to think the Osbourne's got their own TV show. A dysfunctional family with an incoherent drug addict.

Ozzy bit the bat and then later a dove when he was a solo act; after they got him off all the prescribed stuff from way too many docs, he suddenly was pretty normal.

Lemmy drinking a bottle of Jack a day.....

Sabbath was pretty tame actually - how about Iggy and Stooges in their formative years? Alice Cooper when the audience shredded a chicken he kicked off stage....but still tame stuff.

Seems you have to go to mainland Europe and Scandinavia for extreme behavior......

How about Gorgoroth displaying sheep heads on stakes, Satanic symbols, a bloodbath using 80 litres of sheep's blood and four naked crucified models on stage? Black Mass Kraków 2004 was finally released completely uncensored in late 2008.

Stalaggh actually had mental patients that they abducted from mental institutes do the vocals for one of albums......

Disco to me was all about the dancing.

Bored me to tears.....

I didn't even mention Gangsta rap with groups like N.W.A with F the police

Thank you!

Do we know what Jim Morrison did one time in-concert while facing his audience, for which he got arrested? (It ties-in with one or two recent previous postings along this thread.)
Or was that all band legend?

Probably nothing in comparison to Wendy O Williams and the Plasmatics

Wendy O William, just your typical sweet girl from Webster, New York.

Williams first attempted suicide in 1993 by hammering a knife into her chest. Not being able to hammer it through her sternum, she changed her mind and called Swenson to take her to the hospital.

Williams died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on April 6, 1998, when she was 48. The suicide letters which included a "living will" denying life support, a love letter to Swenson and various lists of things to do which caused Swenson to begin searching the woods for her. After about an hour, as dusk began, he found her body in a wooded area where she would often feed the wildlife.

I vaguely remember her and the band on one of the late night TV shows, Tom Snyder, I think...

It was memorable - sort of like when Iggy was on the Dinah Shore show one time.

Iggy? Iggy Pop?

She destroyed many cars on stage.....

I think the 1st time I heard of her was when she was chainsawing a TV on stage

Iggy? Iggy Pop?

There can be only one.

And now with cell phones that take movies and can be uploaded to the internet in seconds. People outdoing themselves to attract and audience. And they can make money doing it. It is a mad, mad, mad world out there.

And we all know very well the whole shebang is just getting cranked-up, just started down a road of breathtaking progress.

The whole world will become one community , if most of it isn't already. For example, I saw somebody on tv who was exercising a personal charitable goal of getting laptops into children's hands in Africa. Where they are getting electricity for such wonders, I have no idea. They didn't explain. And I have no idea where they are getting fresh, clean water to enjoy as they become acquainted with the Internet.

Iggy? Iggy Pop?

There can be only one.

Oh, that one.

That must have been the very definition of juxtaposition - Dinah and Iggy in the same room at the same time.

I liked them both, but that begs the question, how does the same brain have room for both .

And David Bowie was along - he and most of his band were Iggy's tour band in '77. Had to be an "interesting" experience for all.
