i always think of the GTO's "Permanent Damage" LP which has that one song with him on it. the way they say "Rodney BING - enheimer" was pretty fun.

Great-looking band: two Thurston Moores, Freddie Mercury, Rodney, and I don't know who the guy on the right's supposed to be.

He's back!
This is excellent news! Booted from KROQ, Rodney Bingenheimer will return to radio via Sirius XM. https://t.co/87xqh96iLH— Aidin Vaziri (@MusicSF) June 28, 2017

As much as I love the cartoon "hate" of Angry Samoans, and I definitely do, I can't honestly hate on Rodney. He's got a Warhol-ish, esthetic wimpiness to him that I just couldn't bash in good conscience. In this day and age, niceness goes a long way with me, as it's a rapidly decreasing commodity. And he really did open the door for ALOT of bands who would've gotten zero airplay w/o him. The documentary was/is wonderful IMO.

And re: xpost Ned's latest. Welcome back Rodney!

Rodney has been a serious creep to underage women for about 100 years but yah him and Kim Fowley get a pass because the Earth is terrible.

wasn't he kind of a procurer or flesh for bands + crew?

Bingenheimer not as bad as Fowley in the predatory misogyny dept imo
