I love the
Plasmatics ...Wendy O'Williams, their lead singer, was a consummate exhibitionist and
she didn't care whether she was half naked exposing various bits of anatomy to
the world. Yet she was no baby doll like D Harry.. she was as tough as nails
casually handling chainsaws and pump action shotguns while rubbing her crotch.
Coming from a background of sex films and porn, her looks and undress were
rigorously exploited by the aptly named Stiff Records backed by on stage exploits guaranteed to
give councillors a heart attack, the audience hardons and herself orgasms.
I thought the Plasmatics first album 'No Hope For The Wretched' an absolute
classic and I rate it up there in the top twenty punk albums of all
time. All this exhibitionism though had some sort of psychological make up
as sadly she took her own life some years ago.
