An afternoon with Kenny and Gus from The Filthies to talk CD cover and Jesus tattoos - By N.L. Belardes
We talked shop. We ate ice cream at Rosemary's. Kenny played some fun jigs on the guitar and then we all debated the cover of the first Filthies CD that was originally untitled until now. You Look Dead To Me is going to be the new title. You'll have to take a look at the cover, a pic of the wall of the Filthy Lair, their studio in downtown Bakersfield.
This wall of memorabilia includes a picture of Kenny 'Motor' Mount with Brian Head Welch of former Korn fame. Apparently there's all this talk of Brian Head Welch getting, "Jesus" tatooed on one of his hands. Why? To prevent himself from masturbating.
Of course we then had a nice discussion about the bible, tattoos, and masturbation. I think Kenny got a little turned on by the whole discussion, so we calmed it all down by talking about beans and rice. In the end Kenny said, "Brian Head Welch doesn't talk to his old friends anymore..." Makes me wonder if old Head Welch reads Kenny's hilarious posts on his ordained website to the rock and roll sinners of the world.
I wonder if this tattoo talk will all just lead to a new fad of kids putting Jesus tattoos on their hands because they think it will get them to stop all that yank the wank, or at least get their parents to think they're all on the straight and narrow. "Oh look, little Johnny's such a good boy. He got an "I don't wanky yanky tattoo on his pitching arm. My my I am proud."
I guess if Welch has that tattoo he's actually admitting he doesn't buy into the whole Green Day diatribe, "When masturbation's lost it's fun, you're f****** lazy!" Cause he just can't stop himself! Or can he...? I always thought guilt was supposed to be a sin too. And here's a clear cut case of one sin supposedly washing over another: "If I see that tattoo I will feel guilty and then not do the naughty deed."
But then what do you do with the guilt?
You gotta love when the land of Bakersfield conservatism meets head to HEAD with guilt-ridden rock stars...
