• EL DUCE













el duce the musician [ ? ]

the last story
on El duce and the first story,

and don't forget the video *

were just those stories
that were that story of El

and here we will have more...


EVENTUALLY I found out this guy
was part of this band the MENTORS
even though I knew his shtick
I had no idea what music he did.
AND I SAY DID,
because here at the
Cathay de Grande*
I see my friend putting on a BLACK HOOD
and climbing behind a drumset frocked
with pictures of obese strippers.
and his cohorts also had back hoods,
one being introduced as SICKY WIFEBEATER

What music could come from this,
after laughing till I plotzed,
did I figure the whole thing out...

Some women loved Eldon,
some thought he was hilarious,
AND
SOME WOMEN DESPISED EL DUCE.
I even read messages now after
his death with hateful remarks...

It is a calm night in the Cathay bar
and in comes El Duce being led
by some lady friend.
Girls ply themselves on Eldon.

YET, maybe just maybe some of
HIS LYRICS would create some concern
like "MY WOMAN FROM SODOM...",
or him going around saying loudly
[ oops- I'm sorry can't write that one...]
"..I'll meet you in an alley..."
just maybe some women may
express concern or displeasure.

So THIS was the MENTORS
loud playing comedy sicko hooded
masters of metal-punk.
El Duce 'singing' and playing drums
with ERIC sicky wifebeater
as his main fantastic guitarist


I taped them at the Cathay and Fenders
much later I talked with him at the
king king he wanted to do mondo tv
or something, then El Duce moved
out with the band to the desert,
were screwed my metalblade records,
and I did not see him ever again
EXCEPT in my fond memories
.

• MADE IN CHINA

not the PRC

The Cathay de Grande


Yes MADE in CHINA
not the People's Republic
but tHE wORLD fAMOUS
CATHAY de GRANDE *
a block off Hollywood & Vine
@ Selma and Argyle
It looks the same really the
block of buildings from the 1920's
still exist offices and such and the
Cathay is there SORT OF it is the
uPSide DoWn CLUB religious in nature
I REMEMBER THOUGH...

remembering reasons why
yet no specific validation
I mean it wasn't in Zagat
there was food [???] served Thai I hear
WE PARTIED IN THE KITCHEN not ate

along with the Olympic and then Paladium
there was this club to go to after gigs
that was way cool WALK IN to the left the BAR
to the right past the cigarette machine
and down the stairs
the bands
WATCH OUT THEY'RE STEEP...
Every band in L.A. hung out here
from Phranc to Flea
AND WE ARE ALL FRIENDS HERE

and we parked across the street parking lot
but not the one on the same block because
that's where all the brawls happened.
sometimes I parked on Argyle right in
front watching someone
shoot up to the outside light
of one of the offices down from the club
the CLUB, 'a real goat farm ' *
said one of my longtime friends JEFF SAID.

THE REAL EXCITEMENT WAS DOWNSTAIRS
there was a small bar down there too and many
red restaurant booths and metal chairs,
the chairs would sometimes be flung about
' hey that was my nose man '
PARACHUTE ceilings crappy sound
undefinable heat sweat
and lots of ANGST

Texacala Jones Top Jimmy Mentors
and thousands of punk bands
played this fantastically raw venue
very hardcore every punk for themselves
that is the anthem isn't it.
One day I went to
Cathay
and ended up in dISNeYlAND...

• Punk Rock Saved My Life

THE SCENE :

YES ! as D. Boone said all those years ago,
PUNK ROCK SAVED MY LIFE.
I am one to VALIDATE those thoughts.
PUNK ROCK SAVED WHAT?
My Life.
OUR LIVES.
Remember,
Dennis Boone
said this,

and it may seem weird, that way after his
passing, anyone would KNOW THIS
and think it means something -
YOU SAY he died, what was he saved from?
EXACTLY.
Oh, I do not mean Punk Rock caused his death,
NO- PUNK ROCK GAVE HIM, us, LIFE !!
His SPIRIT lives on
to EMBRACE this attitude, lifestyle, music-

"the scene" *
as Gerber [Vagina Dentatta] once said, ...
"THE SCENE" ....
as I REMEMBER IT...
it was the STARDUST BALLROOM right on Sunset ,

now a Home Depot, BACK THEN and that be way
back to a time not forgotten the 80's
probably the Circle Jerks in '84 backstage

and I was taping some punk body art and
atmosphere when Gerber took the mike
and spoke of her life, living with Chuck Bisquits,

living on the streets, all so wonderful
this was, she said,
because it was THE SCENE...

This was just a further explanation

of the breath of life flurishing
through many of us, for various reasons,

feeling the FREEDOM among us.
OH YES, punk does mean KILL ONE'S SELF

-what does that mean ?
MAYBE just that.

THAT IS death to the old AND
breathe life to what's new:
again PUNK ROCK SAVED MY LIFE.

Oh there are no or many transformations
of the mind -

ENTROPY constant chaos not change.
None of us want to change anything,

EXCEPT for ourselves, not
to change anything else WE LIVE HERE .

KILL (GIZaccident) DETAIL(s)
Its late so I am sure its too late to call,
BUT, Gizz is in pain but ok,
he has basically been beaten up badly
and has fractured head ribs
and legs, but no breaks...
He was hit by a mid day drunk driver flying
down a residential area, Its a trip cause his
head flew through the rear
window of a his truck and the guy hit him
so hard that the rear bumper of the car actually popped the tires...
and broke the rear axle.
The rack on the truck even flew off of it and landed a few lanes over.

Now the CRAZY part, Gizz was right behind a car that had a young Man
and woman and a baby in a car seat in the back, gizz's truck was hit so
hard that he smashed that car in front of him, BUT imagine if Gizz wasn't
there, That baby may have been injured...

ON TOP OF THIS ALL, The guy hit and ran, gizz had no idea what happened
and about ten minutes after the fact, a car pulled up and it was a good samaritan
that actually chased the car down and got the info.. The guy only drove a few blocks
and ran from the car. The cops found tons of evidence that the guy was drinking...

Great Friday the 13th for Gizz...

Thanks for your concern on behalf of Gizz...
Joey

KILL DETAIL ( before the accident) with
