Born as Jesus Christ Allin in 1956
Known for his wild antics, most people thought were sick
During the late 70’s his interest grew with Punk Rock
Began releasing albums, stripping, showing off his cock
These performances gained him infamy
People flocked to see his bursts of violence & hostility
Self-mutilation, defecation, smearing shit on the audience & himself
Arrested 36 times, annalized, they said he didn’t need any help
Challenged complacency, pushing the boundaries, embracing disorder
Rebellious, earned a cult like following, albums sold through mail-order
Abused alcohol and drugs, and had a deep dissatisfaction with society
Pushing his own limits, getting out his message was his priority
Appearances on Geraldo, Jane Whitney and Jerry Springer in 1993
Died of a heroin overdose that same year, leaving a mark on the underground music scene
Rated for Everyone

Not a huge fan of punk rock, but I’ve heard of GG Allin, his performances and how they were unforgettable. I’d say this ode to him was spot on. xx
Yeah he was nuts. There’s a lot of info on him through the internet. Thanks PG xo
the picture with the poem are disturbing great write Keith ❤️
Disturbing he is. Thanks Brenda. xo
He was a little too mentally ill for me. I saw him on Jerry Springer. Very disturbing guy.
In 1993 he was all over daytime tv. He made sure he got his message out there. By August of that year, he was dead.
Thanks Tim.
Powerfully penned, Keith. Incredible write my friend. I remember when he was on the talk show circuit, J.J. Burton and I cut school one day and it happened to be on so we watched it. lol. I can’t remember which host it was but know I saw it. Appreciate you.

He was publicizing his violent legacy in 1992-1993 on national tv. At this point he was touring with his brother who formed a band called the Murder Junkies. I almost had a chance to see them live in 1993 at a hole in the wall club called the Gas Station in NYC. It was that evening after the show where he went with friends to a party. That night he overdosed and died.
You can find some of the footage of that show and the riot that GG created afterwards on Youtube. Thanks Damian.
