MTV loses all videos from Universal Music!

What goes around comes around. After screwing artists over for decades, MTV loses all videos from Universal Music.
With the new video frontier of the Internet and You Tube being open to the people, let creativity abound!
FYI, RE Skafish, MTV played my video “Wild Night Tonight” one time in the fall of 1983, then pulled it [...]

Two Winners: Two Skafish Contests!

 
To all of my disgraced family: Here are two winners from two Skafish contests!
First, we have Jim Ryan from Chicago,  who is proudly wearing his “WHAT’S THIS FREAKIN’ $%&!?” Skafish T-Shirt which he won in that giveaway contest. Jim, who loves music that defiles the straight and narrow, attended his first Skafish show in the mid 1970’s, and has [...]

Skafish’s Dangerous Mind…

There is a great story on Skafish on the Dangerous Minds blog entitled Skafish: Chicago’s First Punk Rocker.
It is a very nicely written piece from Marc Campbell, who actually saw Skafish live at CBGB’s back in the day. 
Check it out and let him (and us) know what you think!

No Liberation Here Day and a Giveaway!

The 4th of July is supposed to celebrate America’s independence as a country. Some take it as a symbol of their own personal liberty and freedom as well.
But for those of us who are alienated, ostracized, and outcasts, it’s nothing more than an obnoxious day of ear shattering fireworks and a reminder of how we [...]

And the winners are…

Sarah Andrews of Evanston Illinois, and Bob Pittenger of Warsaw Indiana are the two winners of the Other People’s Rejection Letters free giveaway book contest. Thanks to everyone who participated as it’s been a lot of fun! FYI, I’ve got another exciting Skafish giveaway contest coming up in just a few days. — Jim Skafish

Mick Jagger tells Larry King it’s just luck

I have always liked Mick Jagger both as a songwriter and a front-man. He’s my kind of performer because he takes charge and dominates the audience like an alpha-male lion tamer, just as a great entertainer must, especially in the context of the huge arena concert where so many things can go awry. As a [...]

Gay Super Bowl Ad Rejected

I always find homophobia, especially in America, to be a combination of two extremes: the laughably absurd, and the terrifyingly tragic.
Absurd, when we see homophobic athletes hugging each other tighter than they’d ever with a woman, gently patting each other’s asses all game long, and even kissing, all under the guise of being absolutely straight [...]
