I might be surprised to hear that if I had ever heard of this person.
Let's play a game. There are probably many others who don't know who this person is. Without looking it up, guess who this person is.
I'm going with a high stakes gambler who got the nickname because he will bet everything he owns without thinking twice. By the original post, I am guessing that he is in a band with other gamblers who play gigs to make ends meet when they go bust.
I’m a big GG fan and find his life & career captivating. Weird dude. Lived at the Clermont Lounge for a time.
I'm familiar with the name, but don't know more than that. I was going to guess he was a pioneering tv producer/host who was behind shows like Candid Camera or Laugh-in. Judging by other posts it looks like he was a musician.
Im going with a schizophrenic shrimp boat captain that purposely capsized onto a uninhabited bahamian cay and built a spaceship out of driftwood, manned with a crew of iguanas, which he had named and lived with as family for 20 yrs.
When you have to Google some of the terms he's known for, like coprophagia ...
Yeah, I didn't know who he was until just now. I'm not a punk rock fan. Metal, yes. Punk rock, pass.

Dude was nuts for sure. Pretty crazy upbringing that must've played a huge part of his personality. I mean the guys was named Jesus Christ at birth, wanted to kill himself on stage, ate my username and bragged about having sex with dogs. I remember reading about him yrs ago (it might have been in here) and looking at his google images and being like
Was it the documentary from the 90s, Hated, or the new one? I loved Hated, and I rewatch it every time it shows up on one of the streaming services. I have yet to see the new one.
Yeah watched a youtube clip a few years ago. He took a watery poop on stage (while performing naked) then got on his knees and licked it up.

Watched it last night. A little amateurish, but some interesting stuff. Getting to know the mother of someone like that is interesting.
Hard to figure Allin. Easy to say he was just nuts. But maybe, he wasn't as crazy as he seemed. Maybe he just realized he had a capacity for repulsive behavior and realized that it would be the ticket to way more fame than his total lack of talent would otherwise allow. They do make the point that he was a master of promotion.

Wikipedia lists one of his acts as "DeeDee Ramone".
Seems doubtful since the Ramones are basically 1950's teen-pop with longer hair and louder guitars.
