Look who’s sitting beside Liz Phair:
Oh my god Oh my god Oh my god!
It was An Al Jourgensen look alike
Oh my god Oh my god Oh my god!
Or Al himself.
OMG OMG OMG OMG
i like liz phair’s mouth in that piece.
Why is it all sped up?
Oh my god Oh my god Oh my god!

Oh my god Oh my god Oh my god!
But if they have the real Tony Bennett, Liz Phair and Beck, why would they have a fake Al?
it has NWO playing as background music, lol
hard to recognize with the speedup
It’s a real Al.
He wore that shirt and hat practically daily in that era.

Look who’s sitting next to Lisa Loeb! Al mentions this in his book, got wasted and kept asking Beck about his Dad, who Al was a big fan of.
Best part is Tony Bennets voice sped up.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
No, I don’t think it was in his book (thought it might have also been there as well). I remember reading about it back around this same time (mid 90’s) in an interview.
Al kept asking Beck about “his dad” because Al assumed that his dad was JEFF BECK (it’s not, obviously). Beck was creeped out by him.
Thanks for reminding me of this. I didn’t pick up on it when I first watched it.
Just tried to find the story in Al’s book, but it’s either not there or I can’t locate it.
It should be a law that all non-fiction books must have an index (then Al’s book sure wouldn’t qualify! Haw haw!).

I’m pretty sure it’s not there. It would have sparked my attention when I read the book if I’d seen it.

100% agreed.
In addition to it being one more task for the writer/editor/publisher, though, I wonder if they sometimes specifically exclude one just to make it more of a chore for ex-bandmates, ex-wives, ex-friends, etc. to look themselves up.
“Oh, that c*nt Jourgensen wrote a book, did he? Well, let’s just see if he said anything about me!” [opens to where index should be] “Sonuvabitch! I have to read this thing now?”

Well, crap. I can’t remember where I read that story, but I will note that what I read Al wasn’t confusing Beck’s father with Jeff Beck. Beck’s pops is kind of a big deal in the music world, even if I can’t remember what his name is.
HAHA!!! That’s funny. I love how Al’s stories evolve over the years. I know I read in the mid-90’s about Al being drunk at some panel/group thing and bothing Beck about his dad JEFF BECK, but there’s probably been 12 evolutions of the same story throughout the years (unless he had another historic interface with Beck).
1995: I was drunk and thought Beck was Jeff Beck’s kid.
2000: I told Beck that if his father didn’t sign me to his label he could kiss my ass and drop dead.
2005: I dropped acid with Beck and then we stole his dad’s Ferrari and crashed it.
2013: I gave birth to Beck and taught him everything he knows. His dad was talking smack so I killed him and used his corpse to go snowboarding down Mt. Everest.

Alright, damnit. You’re gonna make me looks this shit up, huh? FINE. But, as someone who has recently gone through the prongs interview archives for my little book project, I remember Al knowing exactly who Beck’s Dad was and it wasn’t Jeff Beck. As someone who’s gone through all those articles, I also reserve the right to be wrong as many have bled together in my memory.
I think Beck’s Dad (proposing here that none of us actually use his name) was an orchestral arranger, studio session musician type who had done some stuff with some old Country fart that Al thought was cool. In more recent years, I believe Beck’s Dad has been connected as a producer for two or more quite douchey bands.
And of course, if this was a recent Al “story,” it’s validity is suspect; however, if it is a story from the 90’s, I may be more inclined to think it’s right.

I gave it a quick look, but didn’t see it. When I find it, I’ll post. But, all signs point toward it not being in Al’s book.
