I thought Keith Levene wrote all that Shakespeare stuff?
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

It turns out he just wrote the first draft of Marlowe's Tamerlane. But you know how he is.

I see no reason to question the usual accounts.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Wait, what is there to mock about Guitar Wolf?Wolter wrote:I thought it was Stealth. I know his random swipe at Tom Waits was what made me start mocking Guitar Wolf nonstop just to piss him off.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

This was before my time, so I would actually like an explanation.

Re: Will the real Shakespeare please stand up?
Others will have better memories, but it seems all he posted about was Guitar Wolf. Bootleg links and news, as I recall, but it was with stunning frequency.matedog wrote:This was before my time, so I would actually like an explanation.

Re: Will the real Shakespeare please stand up?
Yeah, I got nothing against Guitar Wolf, but one day he slammed on Tom Waits in a discussion about him, so I taunted him mercilessly about how much Guitar Wolf sucked. For like 3 months straight, I think.

Re: Will the real Shakespeare please stand up?
And yeah, he talked about Guitar Wolf almost exclusively for a while there. It was excruciating.
