Thanks guys

Ok, it's time for.....


So the idea is that once a week or about I will try to tell you about something that I think is interesting, fun, cool, or etc. It can really be anything but as of now I'm just kind of starting this off with not much of an idea. Anyways... let's get on with the show:


A lot of you have probably heard of The Shaggs. Basically, the deal is they were three sisters who started a band in 1968 because their father wanted them to.His mother had "foresaw" three things when he was young, which is that he would marry a woman with strawberry-blond hair, would have to sons after she died, and his daughters would form a popular rock group. Because the first two came true he decided to make the second come true as well.

The thing is his daughters had no idea how to play instruments. They got a couple lessons on playing and singing, but they were really inexperienced in the ways of music. They had also had zero intention of forming a group themselves, it was just their dad's idea that they went along with.

This is really the whole reason I like these guys so much. Their music isn't beautiful, or perfect, or even good. It's just so childish and pure that it's really interesting to me. They only had one album, 1969's Philosophy Of The World, before they gave up due to various reasons, and it tanked. But now today, lots of people know about The Shaggs, and I think it's really cool that they have actually reaches fame.
