Anybody seen BLOWFLY perform recently? I saw him almost 6 years ago now that I think about it. Me and the Hook-Up are spinnin' with ol' Mr. Reid this evening and was just wondering what to expect. I've been told he does quite a bit of his old material. Gettin' me some Blowfly and Reid records signed!Who seen him?

next day guys were raving about it
have fun !
Same thing in Chicago - only it was alt-country musician Edith Frost, and truthfully she looked happy to be there. Cynthia Plastercaster (the lady famous for casting rock stars' penises in plastic molds) was there, too, and Blow Fly (who probably didn't know who she was) just randomly called her up on stage.
Same thing last night too. He picked my friends girl. But he took it as a treat to have Clarence Reid talk about how he wanted to lick his girls ass.
I got him to sign my "Nobody But You" 45 and my "Zodiac Blowfly" LP. On the LP he drew a huge set of cock & balls(with hair) and wrote "To: Mr. Andrew Love:Blowfly"
He said the girl on the cover of the Zodiac album was his mom's friend!
Seventeen years old too!!!
Maybe the Hook-Up will post some pics later.

My drunk ass gettin' raers signed
I thought it was a great show!!!albeit a small turnout....the show does make me say this tho...fuck Memphis hip hop in all its forms, not one local rapper, DJ, producer or anyone went to this show...you would think at least one of these folks would of shown up to pay homage...seriously there were only 14 people at this show...pathetic.
The weird world can let it slide once- but slandering us twice calls for a response.
Blowfly cracked on the audience in 1973 - and he does it in 2005. It's part of the act. Deriding Blowfly for making fun of the audience is like bitching at the sky for being blue. What he does is called comedy - and it's apparently lost on your uptight PC ass. The reason Edith and Cynthia didn't get upset in chicago (andthousands of other women in cities accross america) when we played "Too Fat To Fuck" - IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR.
Saying that you "opened" for us is a joke. You are not our peer. You are not a musician and you ain't much of a DJ. Buck opened for us in Memphis. He is a real DJ. You were 5th on the bill and spun some shit that was so low energy that I didn't even notice you onstage three feet away until after I set up the drum kit.
Even on that night in gainesville, with me nearly in the hospital with walking pnuemonia, playing a borrowed kit made of sawdust and held together with clamps and tape, our guitarist playing through a borowed shitty peavy amp, and us minus our keyboard player -- we still rocked a full house. We still had hot chicks jump onstage and dance. And we will go back there and headline again.
Blowfly is still a legend. He changed music forever by inventing rap and the miami soul sound. Blowfly continues to add to that legend every fucking day. What have you done but talk shit on a message board and spin records in north florida?

If Wax Poetics doesn't pussy out there's going to be an insane article about Blowfly coming soon.
Thanks Tom! The Hook-Up played too. Sorry again about the turnout(if you want to call it that.) Memphis is light years behind. You guys were amazing! We made a thread about the show on a local website and it was blowing up for about a week later. Folks that went told everyone what they missed. Keep it real no matter what anyone says about you guys. Not that you guys present yourself as "caring what others think." Hope the rest of the tour goes/went well. Tell Mr. Reid that Buck & Hook say hi.
