“Second Trick : name-dropping.
Always useful and often expected, name-dropping provides referential anchors to the reader. It’s like a hug. She/he no longer feels alone in the world. Others, like them, are imbued with influences that they sometines have to keep quiet about to their skeptical surroundigs.
In our case, given the wicked monster generated, there is no need to seek external references for support, they’re included in the package !

Ex : Smegma’s historical wing incorporates the generation that nursed it. Alongside the “elders” like Jackie “Oblivia” Stewart and Eric “Ju Suk” Steward (Smegma, Tenses, The Rodney Forest…), Dennis “Duck” Mehaffey ( Airway, Doo-Dooettes, Human Hands, The Dream Syndicate…), the late Steve “Ace Farren Ford” Rietta (Ace & Dude, The Child Molester, The Mystery Band…), Amy DeWolfe (Smegma), Bradford “D.K.” Hostetler (Smegma), the younger generation brings its share of fluids with Mars “Pharoah” Ford, Steve’s son, and the indispensable L.A. saturator John Wiese (Sissy Spacek).
On the other side of the ring, the boy band L’AARQLMEDAL’A is complete of its four youthful fiftyish : The Argentine Alan “Anla” Courtis (Reynols, Origami Republika…) and the French triangle Franq de Quengo (Mahayoni Mudra, Dragibus, French Doctors…) Nicolas “Aka Bondage” Marmin (Osaka Bondage, French Doctors, Oleo Strut….), Sebastien “Ogrob” Borgo (Sun Plexus, Ich Bin, Micro_Penis…).
Yes, you can call it a gang-band ! ”
