W.A.S.P.: LAWFUL OR OWFUL?
Here’s a thumbnail sketch of Blackie Lawless: his real name is Steve Duran, he’s 28 years old, getting paunchy, sings and plays bass for W.A.S.P. Kind of makes you wish you knew him better, huh? No? Realize that W.A.S.P. ostensibly stands for “We Are Sexual Perverts.”

No?
Realize that W.A.S.P. ostensibly stands for “We Are Sexual Perverts.” That’s pretty good, right? And that W.A.S.P. have been known to throw raw meat at their audiences. Best of all—that they used to stage a mock murder of a young woman in their show. What more could you ask for?
You want an album? You got it— Blackie and his pals in W.A.S.P. (Chris Holmes, Tony Richards and Randy Piper) have released a disc on Capitol called W.A.S.P. It’s, like... let’s see, what’s the right word?...cheap! It’s amazing. The cover is actually cheaplooking! You know how much money Capitol spends on a record cover? I don’t either, but I’ll bet it’s a lot! And this thing is just so ...cheap] So is the music!
So, let’s see what we have. We’ve got a guy in a band that advertises themselves as sexual perverts and they’ve got a cheap album out.
I know what!
