Roger's many facets include kickin' afro, his ridiculous

All My Friends Are Dead
Freddie's albums are great for parties, holidays,
or office get-togethers. An all around good time for
the whole family.

Everyone sing after me:
Satan is real,
working in spirit,
you can see him,
and hear him,
in this world
every day.
Satan is real,
working with power,
he can tempt you
and lead you astray.

Then of course there is the actual content behind these lovely visual presentations.
Breaking the mold, the Louvin Bros. above were actually top country songwriters before the album above was released. Note the Capitol Records logo. (!)
Freddie Gage is a fundamentalist psychotic, and the title of the album is the title of his classic sermon, one of the highlights of which is when he tells a kid whose father just died that the father has gone to hell.
On the other side of the spectrum, the [a href="vny!://www.shaggs.com/"]Shaggs[/a] are just something that one can only stand back from and marvel at. Like the formation of slime mold, they occurred naturally, are not a joke, and captivate one's eyes and ears like an attraction at a carnival side show.
