Honestly, half the reason I'm hesitant to do more Punk Rock History W/Thomas Pynchon is that I'm going to have to cover GG at some point and there aren't enough content warnings in the world...
Oh come on, the guy wasn't that bad...
(CW: gross shit)
...he was just a domestic abuser who beat a woman and drank her blood, likely a pedophile, who would defecate, urinate, and mutilate himself on stage.
Whomst among us?
I used to scare young punks with stories of GG Allin and Shane McGowan’s teeth.
As a man of Irish decent myself, we can't help it that our teeth are shit. I brush and floss every day but I still manage to chip my enamel and get crap caught in my gums.
(but Irish)

It doesn't have anything about GG Allin but the book 'Please Kill Me' has some fun bits like junkies spraying a room with blood from their syringes, or Iggy Pop rolling around in broken glass on stage.
