JAYNE COUNTY
"The Gloves Are Off - Part Two"

by Ginger Coyote

 
Punk Globe received so many emails asking for more from the wonderful Jayne County . After Jayne returned from her smash tour of Europe we contacted Jayne with some follow up questions. Here is part two of the Jayne County Interview.

Enjoy!!!!

Punk Globe: Tell us about your relationship with Lady Bunny?

JAYNE COUNTY: Well, if I sound mean and vindictive, I usually ain't! Only when someone messes with me! Other wise I am quite, and always ready to talk to people and hear their opinions, even If I don*t agree with them at all lThe thing about Lady Bunny is that I really thought she was a good friend, and I can count my friends on my fingers! She really HURT and DISAPPOINTED me as a friend. I felt STABBED IN THE BACK!!! And I found out that she is a FAIR WEATHER FRIEND as well. She wants to rant and rave about all her problems and bitch about literally everyone, but if you do the same back, she ATTACKS you and turns on you like a rabid raccoon!!! As I said, I am ONLY mean when someone is intentionally mean to me! Being intentionally mean and evil to someone is the one utter sin that I cannot forgive someone of!!! And I don*t tell lies, I only tell the truth as the truth should be, and if that is a lie then let me be damned!!! Don*t turn on that light! I look younger in pale lighting! I want magic magic!!! There is nothing more vulgar that a naked light bulb!  Please, hand me the pink Chinese lantern! No, No, don*t turn on the light, I want MAGIC, MAGIC!!! Operator, operator, I am trapped, give me the fire department I am trapped, FIRE FIRE FIRE!!! Is that my gentleman caller??? Young man, young, young, young YOUNG, man!!! Well, I have often depended on the kindness of assholes!!! And if I have to lie, cheat, murder, and suck every cock in town, I promise as Isis as my witness, I WILL NEVER GO HUNGRY AGAIN!!!!! Shall we dance????? *Twist again Ike we did last summer!!!!!*  Well, unfortunately, I met that horrible, nasty drag queen, one of my shows at the Pyramid club! She looked nothing like she does now! Her drag used to be more plainer. She had no image at all! THEN, I went off to England and all of a sudden I pick up a magazine thinking I see a picture of me and it is Lady Bunny in Wayne County drag!!! She has *adopted* the entire image for herself! I hate that fucking bitch. The three people in the entire world that have riped me off the most are !. David Bowie 2. Hedwig (DeadWig) 3. Lady Bunny. Rolling Stone mag. once said that I was the most riped off artist of all time! I used to keep quite about it, but now since I am an old, bitter left wing, anarchist, tranny, living in the backward, still pissed off about losing the Civil War, red state of Georgia, I figure. WHAT THE HELL!!! I could die soon. Walk out in front of a fucking garbage truck or die in a car or motorcycle accident right out of a Shangra Las* record!! Why should I hold back.  Who am I worried about offending??? What are those people doing for me!!! NOTHING!!! Nothing but using my ideas and image for their own commercial purposes! Fuck them. And I HATE Gene Simmons as well! Right wing Fascist asshole!!! Where was I??? Oh this strong coffee from Peru is making me totally wired!!! I feel like I was just launched off of a rocket pad!!! I will definitely have to take extra Zoloft later to calm down!!! Isis, I wish I had a fucking Vicadin!!!! Hmmmm, I am going
to pour me a glass of wine! Where was I??? Oh yestra!!! That fucking, Bitch, Lady Bunny!!! Anyway, everyone was saying to me in London. * Oh Jayne, there is this drag queen in NYC who dressed just like you did years ago!!! Just like Wayne County, 1973, at the Club 82!!! And right, so I freaked out!!! And sure enough if you take an old pic of Wayne and put it next to Lady Bunny, they are the same!!! We actually became friends for a few years until it became evident that she was STILL stealing my image!!! Once I was staying at her place, a real PIG PEN, down on Greenwich Ave. in the West Village, and I had done such a fab job on my eyes that night, totally Dusty Springfield on the cover of her *Greatest Hits LP The one with the pink cover with *The Look Of Love * on it!.. We were going out together to see a Blue Lips show with Anthony, and she had totally copied my eye make up EXACTLY the same. She just looked at me with that wicked, evil, psychotic look she has, and smiled a smile that was right out of *All About Eve!!!* Eve Evil, Evil Eve Harrington! Oh you look fab, Miss Channing, you look sexy Miss Channing, here let me do that for you Miss. Channing!!!* Jayne (Miss Channing) you are AGELESS, she used to say to me!!! She was on a show in England, and
I got television calls from London saying they saw me on TV!!! And how many times have I got called *Lady Bunny* when I have gone out, using my Dusty image!!! I still use that teased up Dusty look alot of times and I always get some jerk coming up to me and asking me if I am her. Or saying, oh hi Bunny!!! It makes me want to throw up my small colon!!!  Anyway, so Bunny started to get really nasty and coy with me over the years, so I finally had to say, get the fuck away from me girl!!! She used to call me up on the phone and then when she was thru with the conversation, she would just hang the phone up without saying a word! Also she became very critical of me. . And honey she no more looks like a real woman than Wayne did!!! I now have absolutely have NOTHING to do with her at all. Not long ago when we were still speaking, she sent me horrible email attacking me on all fronts of my
being! Really horrible! So now the word is out that I am going to whip her fucking Tennessee ass all the back to the banks of the Chattanooga river!! I won*t say what will happen when I run in to her. But let me just say this. She better be able to run fast!!!!!!! And, I have written and recorded a new song about her called *Picture Perfect* and it is going to be on my soon to be released double CD, Wayne/Jayne anthology!!! And there is a really insulting painting I did of her up on the wall at the Hung art show at CBGBs!

Punk Globe: Can you give us more detail about the BBC Documentary that you are working on?

JAYNE COUNTY: Oh the BBC docu I am doing, oh yes, another one!!! Is about the Genesis of the Glam movement. You know, the roots, the early beginnings!   Before people like Bowie, Garry Glitter, The Sweet, etc, hijacked it!!! OOOO! Did you know that Gary Glitter had to flee England and is now living in an Arabic country! Child porn!!!!! Can you believe that??? What a world!!!  Anyway, the BBC are filming me in NYC and are treating me like The Queen Of Sheba!!! I guess they will try to get me drunk and spill the beans on everyone, as usual!!!!!

Punk Globe: I understand that you played Scrabble with Bette Midler one evening can you tell us about that?

JAYNE COUNTY: Oh no Ginger!!! You had to ask about Bette Middler!!!!!!! Oh, hear we go again! Well, if anyone reading this is a fan of Bette Middler then you better get outta town fast cause she really was evil to me!!! AND I
was really nice to her!!! I was out in LA visiting my friend Constance. Constance Cooper is this fab drag queen and artist and actor who does the most amazing Rock shows. It is beyond Alice Cooper, who is now a right wing born again Christian idiot now anyway! Can you believe that?  I even emailed him (Vince) and told hm how disappointed I was in him!!! He never emailed me back! Anyway Constance Cooper is better! So I was in LA and me, Constance, Holly Woodlawn, Alexis Del Largo and Bette Middler were all invited to Malibu to visit Mark Shaman and Scott
Witman, the people behind *Hairspray* on Broadway, and alot of other famous things going on, It was a beautiful house right on the beach (I am not really a beach girl!!!) and it was so fun. We ate, and watched crazy videos and screamed at the half naked muscle men on the beach and basically got up to alot of fun. Well, Ms. Middler came late and she was very nice and civil especially being around a bunch of drag queens and trannys! Well, she knew who I was, cause she was around in the *old* days in NYC doing the Baths and all. And Max*s was going and I was some of the Bowie parties etc. (Got a story on that as well!!!) Anyway, we sat down to do a game of scrabble It was me, Bette, Constance and one of her black back up singers. Well, she absolutely refused to call me SHE!!!   Although everyone was correcting her and trying to educate her in the proper way to refer to a male to female transexual!!! But she refused, even when I corrected her numerous times myself! She was a complete TRANSPHOBE!!!!! I was SHOCKED!!! And so HURT!! Here is the famous, supposedly,  gay and tranny friendly Diva of them all, and all she could do was constantly INSULT MY GENDER AND TRY TO HURT MY FEELINGS!!! She so DISRESPECTED me!!! I still can*t believe that she is so NARROW MINDED AND UN-PROGRESSIVE!!! What a depressing surprise and rude awakening that was!!!   I wouldn*t give her a pot to piss in now even if her bigoted bladder exploded all the way to Mount Sinai!!!!!!! Hey, don*t burn me at the stake, I am only the messenger!!! I am only giving you my experiences with
the rich and famous!! If they all turn out to be assholes, honey it ain*t my fault!! I am only reporting back to the troops!!! Put the wagons in a circle, here they come, THE RUDE AND INSULTING RICH AND FAMOUS ASSHOLES!!!!!!! Well, at least I got a good new song outta it! It*s called *Don*t Call Me He!!!* And it exposes Ms. Middler for what she
really is!!! A phony bigot!!! 

Punk Globe: There is a rumor about you having a fling with Chris Spedding. Can you give the readers the truth?

JAYNE COUNTY: DID YOU SAY CHRIS SPEDDING??????? Oh no Ginger!!!! Here I go again!!! How do you manage to hit on the subjects where ALL THE DIRT is!!!!!!??????? Chris Spedding!!! Well, shit, where to begin on this one!!!??? Well I guess I will just hit it right on the head! HE GAVE ME SCABIES!!!!!!! He picked me up one night in a sleazy after hours NYC tranny bar called *The 220~* It was a real sleaze hole! And full of drugs and pool playing tattooed trannies! Really rough! I had no idea and neither did he, who we were!!! Neither one of us knew who the other one was. As far as we knew it was just an anonymous sex pick up!!! Well when we got back to his place, he had a juke box and I went over to it and I noticed right away that is was full of Chris Speeding and Roxy Music etc records! And then suddenly it dawned on me!!! Oh my ISIS I just picked up Chris Spedding!!!!!!! I knew who he was cause I played his stuff when I was DJing at Max*s, especially *Mororbiking* and his great version of *Wild In The Streets.* Well, the song does speak about a transvestite, and well, here he is, a tranny fucker!!! Just like David Bowie!!!!!!! Well, what transpired was so DISGUSTING that I can hardly write about it even today!!! So I must take a break! And get all ready to tell you about one of the most awful sexual experiences of my life!!!!  . Anyway, when it finally downed on each of us who we were, it really freaked up both out!!! I always thought he was so gorgeous and all. But he was highly nervous and twitchy. He was coked outta his mind, His eyes were like Frisbees*!!! His bed was all a mess and I didn*t want to lie on it! It looked as if it hadn*t been changed in 6 months!!! I would have been happy just giving him a blow job and leaving, but he started the begging to be fucked thing and it really freaked me out beyond belief!!! Even if I could have done it, I wouldn*t have, cause HEY I AM THE WOMAN HONEY. IF YOU WANT TO BE FUCKED UP THE ASS, GO TO A GAY BAR!!!!! So I virtually FLED IN HORROR!!! And to make it all even weirder, a bit later, I played Toronto and he had moved there and gotten himself sorted out. I was told anyway. So I am o;n stage, and I hear all this guy yelling, and hooting. You know really guy stuff, like, *Take out your tits.*, and *Show us your pussy!!!* Etc. And it got kind of loud. So eventually I realized who it was, and my guitar player told me as well. It was CHRIS SPEDDING and his, loud, obnoxious band! So honey, you know me! I stated reading him and the band from the stage! Really getting them crazy and pointing g them out to the audience and saying things like.*Hey look, a table full of tranny fuckers!!!* I wonder if they can get it up??* *You think they are coked out, and will have trouble getting their cocks all hard so we can such them off???* You know really letting them have it with both barrells!!!  And then I really lowered the boom!!! I said *The next song is called *You Look Real Cool But You*re Bad In Bed!!!* And it*s dedicated to Chris Spedding who gave me SCABIES!!! Well honey, you could hear the entire audience gasp with shock and surprise!!! And Chris and his table of loud *cocky* boys got suddenly really quiet!!! He He He!!! And I went into *Bad In Bed* and by the time the song finished the entire band including poor Chris had slinked out the back door with their tails between their legs as well as their injured cocks! Well, honey, that is what happens when you wear your balls on top of your head! Some tranny knocks them off. But only after licking them real good!!! He He!!! I guess you could say that I am a girl that definitely KISSES AND TELLS!!!!! He He!!! So if you fuck with Jayne, you better behave or I WILL TELL THE WHOLE WORLD!!!!!!! I have a big mouth and honey I like

Punk Globe: Were you friendly with the guys in The Clash Jayne?

JAYNE COUNTY: Well, the Clash were a great band. And they grew into a more rock band really. But I love rock so that was OK with me. I still love the first LP the best though. But I did think that they were a bit *hypocritical*  about singing anti AmeriKan songs like *I*m So Bored With The U. S. A.* and then then coming over and going for the AmeriKan green stuff! I guess they weren*t so bored with all the things that AmeriKan money could give them!!! Socialists, until they started working for the *Yankey Dollar!!!* But that dosn*t bother me now. I love that song and think it is even more true now!!! Especially with the current administration. I DETEST BUSH AND THE FUCKING FASCIST CLOSET CASE REPUBLIKKKANS WITH A PASSION!!! I am an ANARCHIST!!! Bush and his over fed, too rich, asshole, so called *Christian* scumbags can kiss my ROYAL SHITTY ASSHOLE!!!  Forcing their far right wing, fundamentalist, false Christian bull shit on the American people is so SHAMEFUL that it makes me literally
VOMIT!!! Pushing civil rights back 70 years in this country is SHAMEFUL AND EVIL!!! America went from being a great world power, giving freedom and hope to the entire world to being a bloodsucking VAMPIRE!!! Sucking the OIL from backward, third world countries and destroying other cultures and replacing them with a corrupt, disgusting, twisted version of Democracy! Invading and chastising other countries for letting religious fundamentalists take over their countries, then letting the religious nuts take over AmeriKKKa!!! They are CRAZY, and PHYCHOTIC,, and need
to be put on heavy medication. They speak to God, well honey so did Joan Of Arc and they burned her at the stake!!! People who hear voices and think that it is God talking to them need to be put in a mental hospital and treated for metal disorders! Like Pat Robinson and his mentally handicapped False Prophets claiming to be Christians when they are just the same old KKK, Nazi,, demon possessed zombies from Planet Nutsville!!!   When the President talks to God, PEOPLE DIE!!! No one died when Clinton got a blow job under the table from that ugly whore MoniKKKa
Lowerinsky!!!! WILL SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE PRESIDENT BUSH A BLOW JOB SO WE CAN IMPEACH HIM!!!!!!!

oooPS. Sorry! I always get carried away when I get on my political soap box! I hope I offended you RepubliKKKans out there, cause you need it!!! As far as I am concerned, it is WAR in this country and I know which side I am and am not on!!! So the CLASH!! Yes, a great, left, leaning British Punk band. Everything Bruce Springsteen didn*t have the nerve to do, back then. He has thankfully redeemed himself though! Now I love Bruce! When I was recording my second LP, *Storm The Gates Of Heaven* at the Markee studios in London, The Clash were recording next door for their second LP! Joe Strummer came in and hung out with us. We got on like a house on fire. We were very similar in our political belief systems, so we talked a mile a minute. He was very concerned about us entering into a time of political repression similar to the one portrayed in George Orwells*s *1984.* I had just re read the book and totally agreed with Joe*s stand on the subject.. He was totally right, but just a little late! We are now entering into 1984!!!!!!! We spoke about the Wiemar Republic in Germany! How loose and decadent everything became just before the Nazis took over. First it was *Anything Goes.* then it was *Everything*s Gone!!!* Loved Joe and his left wing stand and his gravelly vocals on that first LP. A classic political rock LP!!! Like a LP version so Barry MaQuires *Eve Of Destruction.* Which reminds me, I loved Johnny Thunders acoustic version of that song! After my double CD anthology that is coming out in a couple of months, I am going into the studio and recording my fave all time *Punk* songs. One of them of course is going to be *I*m So Bored With The USA* I already have a rave up version of the Dead Kennedy's *Calif. Uve Allies* recorded complete with Arnold Swartzniggers vocals!!! It is a hoot. The NYC band The She Wolves did that with me. It will be a bonus track on my Punk Tribute CD.entitled *1977, The Real Story!!!* My most fondest memories of Joe Strummer was hanging out with him at The Peppermint Lounge in the late seventies and very early eighties. One night, I had stopped off there on my way to a wild, tranny bar uptown. I asked Joe if he wanted to come with me.  He said *No Jayne! You are the only tranny for me!!!* Oh he was a sweetie!!! Poor Joe, what a dream boy! I wish I could see him again! I guess one day I will. Up in Rock and Roll Heaven!!!!! I can hear the jam now!!! Joe Strummer and The Bobby Fuller Four on * I Fought The Law,* with Buddy Holly, Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran!!! Now that is Punk!!!

Punk Globe: In what year did you move from NYC to Atlanta? I heard you were doing a band with Sylvain Sylvain is that true?

JAYNE COUNTY: A band with Sylvain, where did that rumor come from!!??? That is news to me! He was SUPPOSED to be on *Calif. Uber Allies* with me and the She Wolves but he just suddenly disappeared! Just like in the movie
*Forgotten!!!* I have in the past appeared with Sylvain, and he played guitar on *Fuck Off* at the Glitter Dome in Atlanta three years ago, but that is it!!! But I hope he will play on my Punk tribute CD!!!

Punk Globe: When Billy Gould (Faith No More) ran into you in Berlin was that your headquarters? Michael Schmidt told me that he had heard you were doing a play about your life there.

JAYNE COUNTY: What???? Oh my Isis! How do these things get so twisted??? A play on my life in Berlin!!! Wow, that is way off! How many bags of coke had Michael snorted when he told you that one??? No, I was in Berlin only last March, appearing in the Ramone*s musical, *Gobba, Gobba, Hey!* I did three songs. *Somebody Put Something In My Drink*, *I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend*, and *Blitzkrieg Bop.* They are trying to get it to run in London and NYC but Joey*s estate are giving the producers a really hard time! They are acting like Joey was Elvis, The Beatles and Frank Sanatra all rolled in to one!!! That is too bad. It is such a great show! Tommy Ramone is all for it. Tommy is such a nice guy. He played drums on my original Bowie, Mainman demos in 1973!!! The *Beat On The Brat* scene that takes place up on *53rd and Third* is so scary and Erie!!! The kids need to see this!!!

Punk Globe: I remember running into Constance at the night she is hostess at The Roosevelt Hotel Bar by the swimming pool and she told me how she had written an email to an "alleged film maker " who excluded a few key players of the punk movement. in his documentary. Constance wrote this to him "To not include Jayne County in a Movie about Punk Rock is like not including Little Richard when you are doing a documentary about 50's Rock n Roll.". You are indeed a "Trail Blazer" for us all. Tell the readers about the new CD you plan on releasing? I can't wait to do a the song with you, Constance, and Holly.

JAYNE COUNTY:Yes, that Don Lett's left me out of that crappy film, *Punk Attitude* all because I couldn*t make the interview cause my Father was in the hospital with cancer and had to have an entire kidney and mass around it as big as a soft ball, removed!!! And he had ALREADY interviewed me and I had no idea he couldn*t use the footage but I wasn*t even told that!!! He could have at least put me in anyway! Some of the people in the stink pot of a joke film, were DEAD!!! Hello!!! I didn*t fucking see an interview with them BUT they were still in the watered down, mainstream, lie of a movie!!! NO EXCUSE!!! And he never payed me for that other film I did for him way back in the 70*s either!!! That live at the Roxy thing, I can*t even remember the name of it. But it keeps being released and I want to know. WHERE IS MY FUCKING MONEY!!! What a RIP OFF!!! I am getting a lawyer and I am suing him!!! And the movie wasn*t nothing but a bunch of Johnny come latelys jumping on the Punk band wagon!!! A bunch of POSERS!!! People like me paved the way for all those idiots who simply cashed in on a movement that they did not help create at all!! LOSERS!!! And I feel so sorry for the public who are being taken in by all this false representation of Punk! They are being taken for a ride and RIPED OFF!!! How sad!!! I hope Polly Styrafoam Big Butt comes back as a rat, and she gets chopped up and served in a Chinese Restaurant as Sweet and Sour Pork!!! Egg Foo Rat Polly! May Buddha shit on her face after eating 24 MC Donald*s cheeseburgers!!! How do you spell Buddha anyway??? Don Lett's is a terrible film maker because he does a SLOP of a job and creates lies instead trying to uncover the truth! He is inept!!! Re writing history is bad karma! Ask Polly!   Well. I am coming to LA early next year to record Ginger, Holly, Constance and me all together!!! We are going to be called The Shangra La's On Bad Acid!!! We are recording at least two songs. One cover and one original written by yours truly!!! The cover may be a Punked up version of the Shangra La*s *You Can Never Go Home Anymore!* And I have an original called *We Are The Transgeneration!* I can*t wait! Us girls def. need to be in the studio together!!! Howie Pyro is putting the band together! I want some star players as well! Hopefully, Tim Armstrong, would be great! OOO and he is sooooooooooo cute and sexy!!!!!!! And a few Sex Pistols and assorted Blondie's! I want Jimmy to play organ on *Transgeneration~!* It will be a super kool record! It will be a bonus track on my British CD of new material. That CD will be a protest CD. Very political and sexually diverse. All anti government and Bush, and explicit lyrics the most *obscene* lyrics ever written and presented on a CD.  Nothing held back!!! I will probably be arrested and ordered to leave the country which is fine with me. It*s not my country anymore, anyway!  I will move somewhere where they don*t have repressive laws against Transgender people or Gay people in general! A country that doesn*t want to force a set of narrow morals up my fat, tranny asshole!!! A country that respects sexual diversity and does not want to repress and take away the rights of individuals who disagree with the government! That used to happen in Nazi Germany and Communist Russia, now we have people in AmeriKKKa who want to do the very same thing that we used to criticize and invade countries for!!! What a world! I say BLOW IT ALL UP!!!

Punk Globe: tell us about life in Atlanta? You told me that you a driving a Car and riding a bicycle. How long has it been since you have driven? Do you watch alot of TV and go see Movies?

JAYNE COUNTY: Yes, I am a driver now! He He! I have a 2003 Buick! Also I love riding my bike! I go up to the Silver Trail, bike road and pedal my little southern heart out!!! You should see me in my bike helmet! I usually wear it with a Bewitched t. shirt, American Indian moccasins, red shinny pedal pushers and no make up. Well, just a bit of pink lips, and maybe just a little bit eye shadow. or maybe some rosy cheeks,! But no make up! Sometimes I go out riding after temptation overcomes me and I eat an entire bag of Crystal burgers! (White Castle!) I like to dip them in the chili! It makes me fart to high heaven and you can hear me farting a mile a minute as I pedal thru the trees and flowers! And they are loud farts as well! Sounds like a race car engine!!! I am sure that if the Bush administration bottled my farts that they could be used as rocket propeller!!! Oh shit I have missed Jay Leno's monologue!!! I was recording *Nip and Tuck* and forgot!
 
Well I am a telly addict! I tape tons of stuff. My faves are *Leave It To Beaver*, *Nip and Tuck*, X Files re runs, old *Twilight Zones* and *One Step Beyond.* Also I like old Bikini Beach movies. Just taped a great one with special guests The Castaways, singing one of my fave songs of all time. *Liar, Liar!!!* Debbie recorded a great version of that song on the *Married To The Mob* soundtrack! The Standells were on the Munsters. Love that! Love all that *classic* TV stuff!!! I wish they would put back the *Donna Reed Show* and *My Three Sons*, & *The Patti Duke Show*, and *Dobie Gillis!!!* TV Land has gotten as shitty as Nick at Night if that is possible!!! They put the best shows on early in the morning. Assholes. Great shows like *Green Aches*, *The Dick Van Dyke Show*, and *Leave It To Beaver* which by the way is coming out on DVD soon!!! I already got the first and second seasons of *Bewitched.* Which is your fave Darren? I like them both! And I love Tabitha and Adam. But my very fave is of course is Endora! Agnes Moorehead is so fab in that! I love her. I sometimes go out as Endora on Holloween, and sometimes I just go out as her anyway! It gets a great reaction and I get a chance to call everyone Derwood!!! Derwood, Darwin, Ding Bat!!! I don*t go to may movies. But I do sometimes. I like the Science Fiction, and Horror ones. I loved *Birth*,*The Village*, *Godsend*, and *Gothaka*. Oh yes and that really creepy one, The Ring! The Ring Two was way better that the Ring one!!! And *Darkness* and *The Grudge* were creepy too! I saw the original Japanese *Grudge* on telly last night. OOOO. it was super scary. Better than the AmeriKan one. Way more creepy! And more scary scenes! And I have ordered classic DVDs by mail as well. I got *Priveledge* with Paul Jones. He was the singer from Manfred Mann. He is now a Christian, but one of the few *good* ones. I met him at a party for the BBC in London a few years ago. He was really nice to me and we had photos done and I can*t find the damn things!!! Pete Burns was there and oh what a mess!!! That queen in on Cloud 78!!!!!!! And she steals your make up!!! And who else, oh yes and some of the Animals, and the Yardbirds!!! Oh and one of the Zombies! I was in heaven cause I am a HUGE British Invasion buff!!!

Punk Globe: You have also began doing your Art again. Tell us about your accomplishments?

JAYNE COUNTY: My art is coming along really great. I am actually now selling art pieces at art shows. I had a really successful run in Boston recently. My pieces can be seen in the up and coming *Hung* exhibition, at the CBGB*s Gallery from Nov. 30th thru Dec. and early Jan! I specialize in *Penis Tree* drawings and paintings. I am finishing up one called *Penis Tree Crucifixtion.* Another one is called *Rockin Round The Penis Tree.* My fave is one of Lady Bunny called *Lady Bunny Has a Green Penis!!!* It will be up for sell, so go see it as soon as you can! Another one is called *The Ziggy Stardust Conspiracy.* My paintings are, lude, vulgar, horrifying and highly controversial! All done in metallics. Some are in glitter and look like Xmas cards! Xmas. Xmas. Christmas. Christmass. Mass of Christ. The Catholic re named Birthday of Nimrod or birthday of Saturn. Called Saturnalia. I also do paintings on egg cartons. I have one on an egg carton called *Merry Fucking Christmas!!!*

Punk Globe: Ms. Jayne, Tell us all about your recent tour that you did?

JAYNE COUNTY: Last question!!! I finished early!!! Well, what was the question??? Shit, I forgot! Oh, my last Euro tour. It was super, but it really tired me out! Sweden was beautiful! They had to stop the show in the middle cause the audience was rioting! I had no idea that I was that well known over there! Boys grabbing at me trying to touch me and being mobbed on my way to the bath room!!! It was a hoot! The London show was a sell out as well. Chrissy Hinds daughter was there! Poor Chrissy was in the hospital having her gall bladder removed! Shit honey, time waits for no- one!!! Alot of trendy bands but I don*t keep up well. In Sweden the drummer for the Hives, and in London some of the Super Furry Mamals, and Frank Fernando who ever the fuck they are! Or Ferdenanzz or something like that. And some of the old gang like Spitz Energy, members of the Adverts and a few of my old tricks!! He he!!! Oh and Patti Pallid in and Anita Pallenberg. The big surprise of the tour was Oslo, Norway!!! The country is so green and beautiful, and so peaceful, but then when you get in to the city of OSLO all Hell breaks loose!!! You talk about freedom! Fuck yoy Bush, those people have FREEDOM!!! And no hypocritical., religious, nut jobs breathing down your neck! Alot of Pot smoking and drug taking but no one was freaking out. I was like they all knew when to stop or just how much to do! And the sex is wide open. But all safe! And the prostitutes are all registered and go to the health clinic once a month and get a *get out of jail card*! And all sorts of prostitutes. Male, female, trannies, gay, straight, trans etc. It was like a sex buffe!!! A Disneyland for prostitutes!!! And they love Rock and Roll and American culture but they hate the AmeriKan government and King George Bush. My kind of people!!! In fact, when I move back to Europe, Oslo is high on my list!!! Berlin is great as well, Oslo was really special and the kids are super friendly and speak perfect English!   In fact, in all of Scandinavia, they speak perfect English. They start learning English a four years of age! They should do that in this country!!!! He he! In the Checz Republic they speak hardly no English at all. They speak Russian cause of the 50 year Communist occupation. They are also very cool people. Friendly and eager to learn! The clothes are dirt cheap and great stuff!!! The food is good too. Slavic food is fab! There is a Neo Hippie movement there at the moment. Kids, really young, walking around the square in long hair, phychedellic clothes and flowers in their hair!! It was very strange! I felt like I was in San Francisco*s Haight Ashbury section in 1967!!! I half expected The Jefferson Airplane or Janis Joplin to jump out of the bushes any second! The only bad thing is that people really STARE at you there!!! I walked around with my bass player who has a blue Mohawk and we were stared at constantly. Even on buses, the people would stare at us from their windows! Also you can buy alot of Nazi and Communist military shit there! And cheap! Hats, helmets, medals, coats. boots etc. The Nazi helmets with the swastika emblems were really amazing!!! I bought one for 10 pounds! I hate the Nazis and all that horrible shit, but the clothes are really interesting from a historical point of view. They were tailored and made really well. And the ironic part was that they were all made by Jewish tailors! Hey my spelling is shitty. Please correct it if you have time!!! I APOLOGIZE FOR MY SHITTY SPELLLING!!! Anyway, the Euro tour was a huge success. and I am returning in the spring for another one. This time I am doing, Paris and Amsterdam among others! Yes, the ROCK AND ROLL TRANNY BITCH IS BACK!!! I got my BITCH HEELS on and I am ready to rock till I drop!!! Spreading my message of true freedom and Rock and Roll madness to one and all! So, cut those puppet strings and tell your masters to go and fuck a wooden donkey! Don*t fall for all that fake pro war and Government propaganda brainwashing!!! Cut loose! Let it all hang out! Let Rock and Roll take you to a better place! Rebell and resist! Drop out and become a problem! Upset and piss them off! And remember.....

Oh my Isis. Today is a new day, and I took extra Zoloft! That coffee from Peru made me nuts!!!!! What do they put in that??? I felt like I had just snorted eight bags of coke!!! Oh and they have great coke in Europe! The coke you get in NYC is really horrible and dangerous as well!  They cut it with all sorts of weird things, like Mr. Clean and Baby Blue
Toilet Cleanser!!! If you are in NYC, don*t bother with the coke. Just take alot of Vicadin or Retilin. Retilin is the new drug. Ground it up and snort it like coke, It is Fab!!! And Provigel, that is good to. It works on the brain not the nervous system and it is great for solving problems and going non stop until you get that interview done, finished Gone With The Wind for the ninth time, or finally clean those damn filthy windows!!!! But don*t take it if you are flying! I flipped out
really bad a couple of times at Homeland Security at the airport, and they almost arrested me!!! I was really horrid! I pulled up my Beatles t.shirt, and grabbed my tits and pushed them together and screamed, *Here, take my tits and search them as well, they might contain a bomb!!!*  They were not amused to say the least!!! And to make it worse, one of the nasty security guards was a woman, and I was screaming at her in German! She shit enough bricks to build a Baptist church!!! I said, *Don*t you see what is happening in AmeriKKKa???*We are turning into a FASCIST STATE and you are helping!!!*. She got really freaked and walked away!!! Now we have a United States Of Europe, with Germany basically running everything. They even have an army again and one currency now.  It is weird because the countries that make up the EEC are the same ones that Germany has wanted all along! If you look at a map, it is almost the exact same! The German map of that day included all the territory that now comprises the German led EU!!!!!!! No one but a few are noticing this!!! AND, here is the bigger surprise, the land also comprises the same land of the German Holy Roman Empire!!! So this is basically a resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire under German rule. Oh boy, and now the Pope is German. Honey, you do the history lesson!!! Not many people know that I studied history and I wanted to be a historian and archaeologist at one time in my life. I wanted to discover the Lost Continent Of Atlantis and dig at the ruing of Troy! So I want to encourage everyone to watch the news in Europe and see what a big surprise, AmeriKKKa is going to have when they suddenly realize what is really going on in Europe!!! And I love Europe! I tour there all the time. The people are so open minded and love American culture but HATE AND DESPISE the AmeriKKKan government!!! I just hope that this *new* Europe remains so open and liberal! But who knows? The world is so unstable right now, the worst it has been since just before World War 11 and that is a bit scary!!! Sometimes I feel like us freaks are the Wiemar Rupublic, just before the big Nazi crackdown! You know, it always goes up and down. Open then closed. Liberal then conservative. Accepting or repressive!!! I have a horrible feeling in my gut that the good carefree times are coming to an end and it is a shame!!! I hope that ROCK AND ROLL and PUNK
can carry the torch!!! Help spread the word of individualism!!! If we lose that ,WE ARE FUCKED!!! A bunt of resistance for the coming crackdown on our personal freedoms!!!

*NO MATTER HOW YOU VOTE, YOU ARE STILL GOING TO GET A FUCKING GOVERNMENT!!! So,,,fuck um!!! See you all in Rock and Roll Heaven one day! Keep the faith and ROCK TILL YOU DROP!!! Mucho Love!!! Jayne County!!!
