There might be four of you who see the appeal of this. It's a bunch of stuff by the GTO's, and other groupie related stuff. The GTO's were groupies, and released one album, Permanent Damage, funded by Frank Zappa (one was his kids' babysitter). It was sort of a musical scrapbook, that had small contributions (written, spoken or performed) from Jeff Beck, Ry Cooder, Davy Jones, Lowell George, and Rod Stewart, among others. Lots on namedropping and in-jokes there. It had a song about Captain Beefheart's shoes. (No? That didn't get you worked up in a lather?) Because it doesn't pop up that often, you might want to check it out. If you want to know more about them check out that there Wikipedia thing. I'm not too concerned with the details, colorful as they are. I just like kooky shit, and that's what the GTO's did. Here's just a few cuts, and the rest can be found at Beware of the Blog. Kook out.
