  1. Rock and roll never killed anyone—until now. GROUPIES Coming February From Mad Cave Studios
    They weren’t chasing the band. They were chasing something real.

    This February, Mad Cave Studios is bringing the lurid, slasher-tinted horror graphic novel GROUPIES to print for the very first time. From...

  2. The way #God acts out, like a child, or a wounded animal, and yet his #groupies seem to think he's wise and all knowing, meanwhile I'm just scratching my head like, um? He's not emotionally mature, or calm, or fair, or rational. He lashes out, and adores punishing his chosen ppl, it's incredibly mind boggling how nobody sees what's right in front of all of us

  6. RIP Cynthia Plaster Caste
    Cynthia Plaster Caster May 24, 1947– April 21, 2022

    Cynthia ‘Plaster Caster’ Albritton, Who Memorialized Rock Band’s Members, Dies at 74

    In addition to male casts, Caster also paired up with female musicians.

    Cynthia “Plaster Caster” Albritton, an artist whose best-known work her sculptures of male rockers members has died at 74. Representatives for the sculptor and self-described “recovering groupie” confirmed the news to Variety, reporting that Albritton died in her home town of Chicago on Thursday (April 21) after a long illness.

    Caster became famous for her molds of body parts, including the penises of Jimi Hendrix and his bassist, Noel Redding, the Animals’ Eric Burdon, a variety of rock tour and road managers, the MC5s Wayne Cramer and Dennis Thompson, singer Anthony Newley, the Dead Kennedys’ Jello Biafra, the Buzzcocks’ Pete Shelley and more than 40 other filmmakers and rock-adjacent figures.

    She later branched out into casting female body parts as well, making breast casts of members of Stereolab’s Laetitia Sadier, Peaches, members of L7 and the Demolition Doll Rods and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Karen O, among others.

    Albritton, born on May 24, 1947 in Chicago, hit upon her unique artistic lane in college when a professor asked the class to cast a solid object the could retain its shape. The budding artist and rock fan decided to try memorializing erect male phalluses using a dental-molding substance, with Hendrix agreeing to be her first subject. Soon after she found a patron in gonzo rocker Frank Zappa, who was not interested in sitting for one of her unique sessions. And while the hirsute avant garde guitarist/composer did not submit himself for casting, he paid for Albritton to move to Los Angeles, where she began making her unique sculptures.

    Caster was the subject of the 2001 doc Plaster Caster, and was famously memorialized herself in the Kiss song “Plaster Caster” from the group’s 1977 Love Gun album (sample lyric: “The plaster’s gettin’ harder/ And my love is perfection/ A token of my love/ For her collection”). In 2000 she exhibited her plasterpieces at a SoHo gallery, followed by another showing in 2017 at the MoMA PS1 in Queens, New York. She launched a long-shot, unsuccessful bid for Chicago mayor in 2010 under the “Hard Party” banner.

    "Disinfo" may account for why the #TreasonWeasel wasn't easily wiped out, but it *doesn't* account for a 6.1M vote PLUNGE in Democratic votes in a year where the #GOP nominee alienated just about every demographic there is, couldn't fill a high school gymnasium in the end, and undersized rallies that included a TON of #Groupies who simply followed him around from town-to-town just to make his rallies look bigger.

  10. The appearance of #QAnon's #JFKjr at the #TrumpRally spotlights another point:

    A woman interviewed after the rally said she had been to FIVE others before this.

    T**** is NOT drawing huge crowds. He has #GROUPIES (like faux-JFKjr) who follow him from town-to-town.

  13. Ich habe Angst vor #Groupies. Das Gekreische und Herumgezerre an meinen Ärmeln ist wirklich schlimm. Meine #Bodyguards haben den ganzen Tag nur Stress. Deshalb gehe ich nicht zur #Buchmesse. Da ist eh nur #Establishment.

    Kauft sie, werdet schlau und macht mich reich, damit ich mehr schreiben kann. 🤪 🤣 😎

  15. #DearHivemind / #DearMastomind: I'm trying to find an essay on the evolution of a "scene", possibly from the aughts.

    It's on the evolution of groups and cliques. Possibly band scenes or artists. First you've got the artists / creators, then you get the afficionadoes who recognise great work on their own, then the groupies and fans, then the people who follow the crowd (and often: "social opportunities" to put that spin on it), then the opportunists who seek to benefit from the crowd itself: advertisers, pickpockets, scammers, swag sellers, etc.

    If this rings bells, please respond.

    Boosts appreciated.

    Update: @oblomov has turned up "Geeks, MOPs, and sociopaths in subculture evolution" by David Chapman, ~2015: meaningness.com/geeks-mops-soc

  17. OK, #mastodonHiveMind I have a question for you.
    Who remembers a feature in the NME about Groupies? I think it might have included an interview with Pamela De Barres, but there was more. I’m trying to get a rough date for it.
    I used to have several years worth of back copies from that time, including that issue, but they got lost in a house move.
    Can't remember who was on the cover 😐
    Would really appreciate boosts if you don’t know!

  18. @atomicpoet @mikka @aral Aaagh. Sends shivers up my spine. Tangentially I had noticed a few super ego's and narcissists enchroaching bringing their #twitter flocks, aka #groupies with them. At the moment I can avoid even having to read their regurgitated bollox but for how long? If you're familiar with the scenario, how do we repel the #Borg even if we wanted to?

  20. Am vergangen Sonntag hatten wir nach der Kreuzkirche den zweiten Gig mit Bob Dylan Gottesdienst diesmal in Asklepios. Jetzt sind wir gefragt. Nächster Termin im Landkreis schon fest.
