Uh, well, what can I say?

Back in the heyday of American punk, all kinds of guys & dolls & bands were out there trying
to invent something weird and new.  The Sex Pistols had kind of messed with everyone's heads.  
But Count Viglione really pre-dated all that, and yet, he got caught up in too.

You see, his whole act was to dress up as a version of Count Dracula and then go out on stage
and be true to the garage spirit of things.  I listened to the records he would send me
 a few times, and was always impressed by his persistence.  I mean, I would NEVER NEVER be
that persistent if I dressed up in cape and went out in front of hundreds of people in Boston and
tried to impress them with made-up songs about weird things in my head that nobody really
should know anything about.

(He totally reminds me of Underdog woman, which is another story altogether.)

Anyway, Count Viglione had an act, and it was a good act, far ahead of its time. These days
there are vampire ideas and products all over the place (hey, for that matter,
half the people I know are vampires!), so the great Count Viglione saw it coming.

Maybe you know where the good Count from Boston is today.  I sure the heck don't, but we
always fondly remember the brave souls who creatively forged ahead at whatever level
in the world of pop culture. Here, at PopKrazy , he has a place in our hearts.
