50. LIFERS - David Yow

In the pantheon of great rock and roll front men —right up there with Iggy Pop and Nick Cave— sits the mighty David Yow. Of course, he’d find the idea nothing less than ridiculous — but that’s just part of what makes David the sweet and unassuming legend that he is. It was our pleasure to talk to him about his bands The Jesus Lizard and Scratch Acid, acting in the new Toxic Avenger movie, the Austin punk scene of the ‘80s, AC/DC vs. The Knack, “Dinner In America”, the time he almost got murdered by R. Kelly’s crew, Andy Gill, Flipper, “Power Of The Dog” spoilers, Lil’ Bub, and the time David gave Scott a doomed piggyback ride. ALSO — Gabe really, really likes shakes.
