Yeah a friend of mine knew GG and still plays with his brother in some side project. LOTS and LOTS of stories about the guy!!!
My only story...
I grew up in MA and used to drive around aimlessly in the summertime, once ended up in some town in the middle of nowhere in NH. My girlfriend and I went into a little mom and pop diner to get some lunch, it was the kind of place that makes you feel at home, all these very polite little old ladies and grandmotherly types there, of course we were the only outsiders but they made us feel right at home. I nearly fell out of my chair when I took a good look around me...the entire walls of this place were plastered with news clippings about GG, the place was practically a shrine to him! I asked a little old lady about it and she said that he grew up in that town and they were proud of his notoriety. I thought he was from NYC but evidently not. I could not believe it. Well sure enough there was a stack of free town newspapers there, and just happened to be an article about something related to GG in that issue, so I grabbed a handful of them. Kept one and sold the rest on eBay many years later and got a king's sum for them!
I would never in my wildest dreams had ever imagined a place full of nice old people would be a virtual GG Allin museum!
