Podcast: TSOYA Classics: Dirty Mind - Guests: Blowfly and Legs Mc Neil.
We continue our journey into The Sound of Young America's vast audio archive with this program from The Sound of Young America Classics.
On this week's show Dirty Mind we're joined by guests Blowfly - the legendary, dirtiest R&B legend of all time and author Legs Mc Neil.
Blowfly is best known for his 60's and 70's raps mostly about sex. The name Blowfly came from his grandmother, who overheard him as a child singing "Do the Twist" as "Suck My Dick", and said "You is nastier than a blowfly." We talk with Blowfly about his childhood; his break into dirty R&B rapping and hear a few of his famous songs including "Ugly People".
We also talk to Legs McNeil, author of the book "The Other Hollywood: The Oral History of the Porn Film Industry."
Best known for his 1997 book "Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk", Legs talks about everything from sandwiches to his inside dealings with the porn industry.

I listened to several shows from the archives (aka classics) as I traveled by train around Spain and France the last couple of weeks. This happened to be one of the shows I listened to.
Re: Blowfly - I remember thinking "How can Jesse understand him? I'm from the south (Hattiesburg, MS in fact) and with Blowfly's accent, I can only make out about every other word."
It was a colorful interview =)
Legs McNeil is a writer and published author? I just recently discovered this podcast, which is why I've only today listened to this episode, and I was very disappointed in today's interview with McNeil.
What could have been a very interesting talk instead very quickly degenerated into "y'know? y'know? y'know? y'know? y'know? y'know? y'know? y'know? y'know? y'know? y'know? y'know? y'know? y'know? y'know? y'know? y'know? y'know? y'know? y'know? y'know? y'know? y'know? y'know? y'know? y'know? y'know? y'know?" not to mention a very frequent "do y'know what I mean?"
I'd like to think that a published author would be a bit more articulate than McNeil was on this show. I guess I'll pass on reading his work.
