Does he really like to eat shit?
DEE DEE RAMONE
I don't know, you know. I think he's a very disturbed person. But I've always
tried to not judge him, even though dealing with him was too much trouble.
I met him when he was a little kid. He's from either Providence or Boston or
something. And I never forgot him. He's so different! Back then, he loved the
Ramones, and he was trying to make it—he was like a David Cassidy type. You
should see his first album cover! He was so trite! He came up to me after a show
and he gave me his album. He had made it himself. He was a real poor kid.
Then like three years later, he came in and I saw him again, and he had
changed!
He wasn't David Cassidy anymore! He gave me another album he
made. He ended up lying on the floor, giving everybody the finger and all. I
never listened to the album. But he corresponded with me all that time. I knew
his brother, Merle, but at the time I didn't know he was G.G.'s brother!
Once I went to Merle's house, and Merle asked me, “Would you like to do a
session with G.G.?” This was like two years ago. I said, “Oh sure. He's such a
nice kid. And then Merle showed me a video of G.G.'s band doing stuff in a van.
And I was shocked! “Merle,” I said, “I can't do this! What am I gonna do? Stand
with a can of Lysol and spray it away from me?” It was awful!

I could never go in there and do that!

What were they doing? Eating shit?

Ican'ttalk about it! Icouldn'tbelieve it! But okay,sodespite everything, tohelp
G.G. out, what I would do was this. The last time G.G got out of jail, I tried to
show him a different side of life. I said, “Now don't be G.G. Allin for a while.”
I would take him to a nice place, inside a nice restaurant, and say, “Look, do you
want to be part of this world? Get yourself a little apartment, and change your
life.” I tried to help him, but then I couldn't take it much more.
G.G is just going to go to jail again. I know it. But I tried. I said to myself,
