So why anybody would fear being "trolled" by Colby on the EF JFK Debate is a mystery.
Turns out that Len tour managed GG Allin, one of the most violent nihilistic performance artists of our time.
I've been a fan of punk for about 30 years now, and I never liked GG Allin. I think certain acts are promoted to discredit rock music and keep kids away from the bands that would make them think (Dead Kennedys, for example). "Hey kids, listen to Alice Cooper sing about dead babies, though he's really a golf-playing Republican Christian in real life!"

"The 56-year-old Cooper says he was disgusted to learn the likes of Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, R.E.M., Sheryl Crow, James Taylor and Dave Matthews were hitting the road for a series of concerts designed to help defeat President Bush."To me, that's treason," Cooper told the Canadian Press. "I call it treason against rock n' roll because rock is the antithesis of politics."
Yup, gatekeepers everywhere.
