The Official Peter Laughner Thread (lyrics, punk, rock, great song)

What does everybody think? I love him personally. He's one of the more obscure forerunners of punk rock. He was in a great great band called the Electric Eels in the early mid '70s who played this sort of garagey, noisy music in the Cleveland area. They were hated by just about everybody. He was also in a band called Rocket From the Tombs which became Pere Ubu.

He was a great songwriter. He died in the late '70s before his time because of his excessive lifestyle. Another one of the great ones snuffed out before their time.
