Front & Back Cover: The front is a picture of Elvis Costello's shoes that I lifted. The back is the Beastie Boys before they became insufferable.
Pages 1 and 2: There's a couple of actual letters to the zine and one great review from Limp, pics Shannon Doherty and Billy Corgan - that issue's patron saints, and Casper shilling for Blood Feast. I think the picture of the dude typing is from a Jarmusch movie.
Pages 3 & 4: DD Blank had just moved to Knoxville to pursue his PHD. He eventually got it and he now poisons the minds of kids at another school - just call him Doctor Blank. Rolling Rock was the brew of the time.
Pages 5 & 6: A little bit of the Nashville rock history with an inexplicable Planet Of The Apes and Starsky & Hutch background.
Pages 7 & 8 : Some great Weekly World News covers on one side and the always dashing Abe Vigoda on the next. The graffiti piece was by Hugs.
Pages 9 & 10: I've always been a Betty Boop fan. Nobody ever answered any of the questions in the article and the offers not good anymore.
Pages 11 & 12: An appreciation of Shemp by John Hudson.
Pages 13 & 14: The truth is revealed - there never was a band called Stinkfinger. It was just a joke by Buck and no...Buck was not one of many pseudonyms.
Pages 15 & 16: Those really are pics of me as a kid.
Pages 17 & 18: More Planet Of The Apes love and the cartoon letters are something I lifted from a magazine.
Pages 19 & 20: Ladies and gentlemen - the future Mrs. Beck Hansen!
Pages 21 & 22: I love Village Of The Giants, but I haven't seen it since I was a kid. The girl on the highway is the sister of one of my best friends. The picture of her is from 8th grade when she was a drum major. The poor girl later got sucked in by a religious cult down in Chattanooga and I haven't heard from her in years.
