Thought I'd managed to erase all memory of this one. Apparently not.

"Max Bygraves literally used to terrorize British people with his "music" in the sixties and seventies. One of the most traumatic moments of my childhood was when I had to sit with my parents and watch his whole live performance. I still haven't recovered."

And tracks from this gem are going on my next BFT. :g

I dunno man, that one looks like it might be pretty intense... :mellow::mellow::mellow:

I'll let you do the listening :wacko:

What if I don't survive?

You'll survive. Gloria Gaynor to the rescue.

I'd bet money on this one being a spoken-word record instead of music. Gage was the leader of a Houston street gang who got religion and subsequently became a preacher whose ministry was focused on helping gang members turn their lives around. Most of his former running buddies wound up just like the record cover says, either from drugs or violence.

He wrote a book called "A Cop Out On Pot" that went into some detail about his life as a gang member and the events that led up to his conversion. When I was a kid, someone affiliated with his ministry was going door-to-door in our neighborhood either selling or giving away copies of the book, and my parents wound up with one. I started reading it, and wound up being unable to put it down - his unvarnished descriptions of being a junkie and withdrawal-induced sickness were pretty harrowing stuff to my young, impressionable mind.

I'll kneel at your grave, you rascal you!

I won't wear white boots, though :excited:

Hey, i know him, his real name was Doris Lussier and the character came out from a tv show. That guy was involved in Quebec politique and a good friend of a former Premier.
