Last month saw the death Dave Brockie, the man behind GWAR's Oderus
Urungus mask... and those of us who know what we just lost are
devastated, but there are plenty of people who don't know-- who never
even guessed-- that GWAR was sharper, more insightful, funnier, and more
culturally effective than the world at large suspected. I missed GWAR's
last Seattle visit, so I'm not writing up an actual show I attended and
filmed, but I still wanted to codify all my theories about (and
appreciation of) GWAR and Brockie in one final piece.
