The Greatest Piece of (Rock) Historical Revisionism Ever Committed To Video

October 21st, 2010 at 12:58 am by Gerard



You know the old saying, "those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it?" No? Well, it's a pretty good saying. The above Pussy Galore bio pic by Michele O'Mara, however brings to mind the truism "history is best retold by persons who don't give a shit about accuracy or likenesses" (OK, I made that up myself). With all due respect to meme-tastic crazes like keyboard kitties and Alexyss Tylor, I see no reason why this video shouldn't top a million or more views by the end of the week. (thanks to Linda Wolfe for the heads-up about this astonishing video)
