Guest Book Thingy-majigerWell, the Shaggs are a wonder to us all, but that "all" does not seem to encompass very many people. If you have heard the Shaggs and have anything to say about them or just want to list your favorite track (or maybe I should says favoriteS as who could choose?!?!?), be my guest (literally) and sign-in. The "email" field is optional and if you do fill it in, your name will become an email link. If not, I guess we (the royal "we" of course) cannot hold it against you. :) |
Other shaggs fans: [639] Heidi (July 14, 2008 at 22:04 EST) from Fremont, NH found site from: Google My older sister Lisa and I were one of the Shaggs groupies. During the week if we learned the Shaggs were playing at the Town Hall you can bet we made arrangements to be there. My memories were wonderful. The Shaggs provided, great entertainment for us. My sister once told me she looked up to Mr. Wiggin, as he was helping his family follow through with their dream. Forever Yours, Heidi (Bezanson) Jackman  found site from: Google I remember a few years ago, while on The technicolor web of sound (techwebsound.com), which is an online 60s psychedelic radio station, listening to a halloween special and hearing the strangest song, "Its Halloween" by The Shaggs. I thought it was the weirdest, yet most original song I have ever heard. So soon after that I downloaded "Philosophy Of The World", and have loved it ever since. found site from: Google I am one of the fortunate few that actually own an original pressing of Philosophy of the world, I love it!! I like all the songs on "Philosophy". I most enjoy "Sweet Thing" and "Halloween". The Shaggs sound is so very beautiful. found site from: Google The Shaggs to me are everything I would hope in being a musician: true to themselves in their music, uninfluenced and not pretentious. My favorites are "That Little Red Sports Car" and "Philosophy of the World" mainly because of the words (and music too!). myspace.com/sintax - found site from: A non shaggs related web site i found the shaggs on allmusic.com. i was trying to search and find pics of the gals. nothing yet.....i expect to see some form of female alien type figures. found site from: Google Monday, 12th Feb. 2007: Very sorry to hear about the death of drummer Helen Wiggin Bickford on 15th April 2006. I've been a fan since I read about the Shaggs in a Dec. 1980 Rolling Stone. In 1987 I got both vinyl albums which I play to this day. In 2000 I put them on a cassette and sent them to my friend tanya in South Africa. She said they sounded like a group of 8-year-olds who broke into a studio. And now I have the 1988, 25-track CD which I'll send to my other South African friend Lyndl on her birthday. I wonder how many units the Shaggs have shipped since the 1980 reissue. 50,000 in 25 years? I read the band, or at least Dorothy gets $400 in royalties twice a year. $800 a year ain't bad for an album that went nowhere in 1969 but I wish that hundreds of thousands, if not millions would buy the CD so the surviving Shaggs can retire comfortably. "Philosophy of the World" will cure the blues anytime. I read that repeated listenings reportedly lifted Rush drummer Neil Peart's spirits after the death of his daughter and wife. Well, six billion earthlings, what are you waiting for? Buy "Philosophy of the World" now! www.rickrockhill.blogspot.com - found site from: Google Thanks for sharing the history and information.
