If you can, find a bootleg that has him talking on the phone with a manager or record company rep, towards the end of his 'career' about something they were trying to do together. He's well-mannered, charming I'd say, even, not at all the GG Allin as people know him on stage.

This makes me think that his 'extremities' were just a gimmick. And a pretty bad one at that.
