Some of these “outtakes” sound a little too close for comfort to the studio final takes. That said, a wonderful look at JL’s state of mind the final year of his life and a funkier sound that what is associated with him. Thanks BigO - grabbed this. STILL miss John 41 years later and if “Beautiful Boy” does not move you, you have no soul.

Whoopee Whoopee Im s fuckin happy. Rittenouse not guilty. Im stripping naked running in the street and jackin off for everone to see. Hooray HHH, Nelson Derriere
By Mark on Nov 20, 2021
Obviously a name stealer used my name previous post. I do agree Rittenhouse was LEGALLY not guilty but was MORALLY responsible for the predictable consequences of his actions. The jury has pretty much guaranteed nutjobs like Rittenhouse can show up at riots and start blasting away. I assume rioters will show up similarly armed, but I hope I’m wrong.

Not gay . Just love talking and thinking about penises
By U L E on Nov 20, 2021

Last three twernt me more fakes
By U L E on Nov 20, 2021
Too bad the kid riddenhouse couldn’t have taken out some niggers instead if whites . One was a child rapist though, so I guess he deserved it . Thank god he got off . If he’d killed niggers instead , he’d probably have been found guilty. Woke culture would have seen to that , like Chauvin.
By Nelson on Nov 20, 2021
Hope them dudes in Georgia get off for shooting that nigger Aubrey . Fewer niggers is always a good thing . They keep messing with white women . Those white sluts are even worse for laying with those animals.

Poor Nelson The hatred is bubbling in his blood, altering his cellular structure and making him more susceptible to an ulcer, a heart attack, or cancer. If I WAS as full of hate I’d root for cancer, but since I’m not, I wish him good health.
By Mark on Nov 20, 2021
Nelson my man I agree wit everything you said . You , anti and triple h is the only folks around here that speak the truth . Ain’t been sayin as much here lately
By Derrick on Nov 20, 2021
Mark is a motherfuckin, Dic suckin, coon and high Yeller lovin Jew bastard name hijacker . He sucks big fat coon elephant dics , I fuckin garantee it .
By Derrick on Nov 20, 2021
Mark should get what Joe Pesci got in Casino
By Derrick on Nov 20, 2021
Or what dirty laundrie got in the swamp . The gators doin the honors
By Derrick on Nov 20, 2021
And so Derrick cuts and pastes the insults he’s used time after time, still expecting them to mean anything to me. His words are only a sad reflection on his lack of character and decency. This makes him an object of pity, not scorn.
By Mark on Nov 21, 2021
Derrick, I pity you like Mark does.
By HHH on Nov 21, 2021
I don’t scorn you either Derrick; you sure are predictable with your comments. I pity you too .
By Nelson on Nov 21, 2021
I didn’t say that . Mark probably did . Bastard . Derrick and I agree on most stuff , I still think the niggers are worse than the jews
By Nelson on Nov 21, 2021
I just want to be Derrick’s buddy . I would never disagree with him or correct him when he was wrong
By Nelson on Nov 21, 2021
I need what Kim K got from Ray j- a fat dik in the ass.
And in my mouth too.
By Derrick on Nov 21, 2021
Thanks Tony Pizza. I appreciate your comment, “these “outtakes” sound a little too close for comfort to the studio final takes.” That’s what collectors are interested in, instead of trolls trying to shock people.
