*Death&Funeral- G.G. Allin died of an accidental heroin overdose in Manhattan on June 28th,1993 in the apartment of John Handley Hurt and Dwanna Yount,three days after attending the premier of the documentary,Hated. He was found lying in an acquaintance's apartment on the morning of the 29th but had actually died the previous night. He was 36 years old(!). His last show was at the 'Gas Station' -a small club located across the street from Hurt and Yount's apartment. During the show's second song the power went out, after which he trashed the venue,walked across the street entirely naked(!)and then continued on (...now wearing shorts but still covered in shit!), through the neighborhood followed by a large group of fans. *Beliefs- G.g. Allin an extreme individualist and anti-authoritarian promoting lawlessness and violence against cops in many of his lyrics and essay was intended to summarize his personal philosophy. He once stated that "...his body is the temple of rocknroll and his flesh,blood and bodily fluids are a communion to the people" Another reason he gave for his antics on stage was that he wanted to draw a parable between his actions and "a society that's going crazy with violence" also that if he didn't do what his was doing he would probably be a serial killer and mass murderer.
