genius ?
nuts ?
or all 17 ?

i know where i stand !

usually the end of the bar drinkin stout

Both genius and nuts definitely.

couldn't agree more
first i heard was My name is larry
couldn't believe it
it was John Peel that played it on radio in the early 80s
i was a teenager at the time and i thought - this'll do me

the documentary de-railroaded is fantastic
a must have

nice to talk to a fan

you're the first person who's actually heard of him

I just discovered this guy. I'm really enjoying the album "Nothing Scary", although at 34 tracks it's a little more miss than hit but the good tracks are really good. I kind of like the backing tracks more than I actually like Fischer's singing though.

"An evening with Wild Man Fischer" is definitely the best of his albums - it's a shame that Gail Zappa refuses to allow it to be reissued....

I can't say he's convinced me in the past even though I don't mind listening to some outsider music.

Probably a bit of both. I like him though, as a fan of the "outsider art" stuff he is an interesting listen. have not heard much by him, but I remember seeing this for the first time and thinking it was cool (the studio version is the better one though):

With his name I just expect him to be more wild I suppose.

Listening to 'An Evening with Wildman Fischer'. Amazing stuff, weirdly ironic thinking to a man who stabbed his mother, and is absolutely insane. Sounds absolutely insane.

Damn, I wish there was still a Frank Zappa to find weirdos like this, and record them. It's utterly morbidly fascinating.

Yeah, Zappa knew weird. He also praised The Shaggs a lot. lol.
