    Instead of Mr Gallagher it could have been Mr Corgan.

    Is this a rerun? What year were Gallagher jokes (and indeed, Gallagher himself) still funny?

    We went to one of his shows in the late 80s/early 90s & had a lot of fun. He had a strobe light going on a dark stage, then came down hard with the Sledge-O-Matic. The head flew off and went far into the crowd. It hit me right in the face. Turned out to be foam rubber and has been my souvenir ever since. Google “what is Gallager doing now”. Still an odd duck, dresses dumpster style, says he’s broke but really isn’t all that broke. Interesting guy.

    Didn’t he get kicked out of Carnage-Melon University?

    You have to wonder at his very first show did he give the people the the front couple of rows plastic or did he just come out swing the Sledge-O-Matic. Always loved how some in the front row even wore rain coats.

    Yeah, back in the 80’s some people enjoyed Gallagher and his Sledge-O-Matic…But these days he mostly substitutes racist, homophobic rants for jokes.Didn’t want to go into it last night….but some friends saw him “perform” in this century, plus I’ve read some reviews..

    He tells guys in the audience wearing backwards caps that they must be homosexual, cos they can’t tell front from back.He refers to all people of color as “them”ie, “they” all end up in prison cos their low-slung pants make them easy to catch….and he calls President Obama racist epithets.

    He rails bitterly about not winning awards and about losing money to bad investments cos everybody else in the world was too stupid to know a good thing.
