Richard Wayne Penniman (December 5, 1932 – May 9, 2020). He was black, gay-drag, extremely flamboyant and he played raw assed rock'n'roll in the heart of the 50s US south. If that's not PUNK, then what tha fuck is it?! Without whom...

About me

About me
Dad of three Handsome Devils. Garage Punk pounders, Soul stompers, Punk Rock 'n' Roll burners, Greasy R&B stormers, Funky sizzlers and Mod Freakbeat fuzzters and ravers (mostly)! Grown Up Wrong in the 90s, hooked with the grooves of Acid Jazz and Madchester's Baggy scene. A lot of Indie Pop jangles too. Stoner/Doom is my guilty pleasure. Reverend in the Church of Venerated Saint Johnny Thunders. In love with shakin' maracas, tambourines and wailin' farfizas and harmonicas. Little Richard was the King & Queen of Rock'n'Roll. The first Punk Rocker was a gay blackman from Macon, GA. Subvert Normality, Kill All Hippies. Antifascist/Antiracist. Olympiacos Piraeus tifo. *There's no need to repeat myself. If you consider yourself a real music fanatic, then buy the records by the bands and artists I'm talking about.*
