Anton's colorful vocabulary

Being a long-time Brian Jonestown Massacre fan, I periodically check up on Anton Newcombe [the founder, front-man, multi instrumentalist, and self-proclaimed civic prophet] and the band to see what madness they've conjured up. For those of you who haven't seen the rockumentary Dig!, it's worth the cost; despite if you like the music of either the Massacre, or the Dandy Warhols.

While Youtubing, I came across this video of Anton during one of his live concert rants.

In case you've never heard of the dogmatist that is Anton Newcombe, here's the Wiki article that touches up pretty well, although it leaves out some key events and happenings that you can pick up in Dig!.



From the N-word to the F-word, it's a pretty good Anton moment. I've noticed that the majority of people who actually go to their shows are only there to throw bottles, fruit, and generally antagonize Anton. It's a deterrent to myself as a fan because I'd like to see them play again without a hitch, but it seems like that day is far away with nimrods like these constantly poking the sleeping bear that is Anton.

"People talk about Eric Clapton. What has he ever done except throw his baby off a fuckin' ledge and write a song about it?"
