Of Plasmatics, of PSAs.
Wendy O. Williams was lead singer of the Plasmatics. If you never saw them, they were authentic punk at a time when punk was just about done, circa late seventies/early eighties. The ripped jeans on most pop stars today? Okay, whatever. WENDY USED CHAINSAWS. Problem is while people may dig the appeal of a rebel, they don’t really know what to do with the real deal when one’s around. Keep stowed away and break glass in case of poser. (*cue LA hairbands soon to emerge*) This dynamic was likely something which might have led her to take her own life, but I digress.
I thought the oddest/coolest appearances were Tom Snyder and Tomorrow and SCTV with John Candy, but after seeing the clip above? Not even close.
