Peter_Puget Posted December 6, 2002 Author Share Posted December 6, 2002 The Shaggs are real, pure, unaffected by outside influences. Their music is different, it is theirs alone. They believe in it, live it. It is a part of them and they are a part of it. Of all contemporary acts in the world today, perhaps only the Shaggs do what others would like to do, and that is perform only what they believe in, what they feel, not what others think the Shaggs should feel. The Shaggs love you, and love to perform for you. You may love their music or you may not, but whatever you feel, at last you know you can listen to artists who are real. They will not change their music or style to meet the whims of a frustrated world. You should appreciate this because you know they are pure what more can you ask? Betty, Helen and Dorothy Wiggin are the Shaggs. They are sisters and members of a large family where mutual respect and love for each other is at an unbelievable high. They study and practice together, encouraged and helped by those around them. Betty, Helen and Dorothy live in a small town in New Hampshire, in an atmosphere which has encouraged them to develop their music unaffected by outside influences. They are happy people and love what they are doing. They do it because they love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COL._Von_Spanker Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 "The Shaggs are real, pure, unaffected by outside influences" Influences such as even the slightlest inkling of talent, or how about melody, harmony and rythem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figger_Eight Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 I might sound better if two of my friends and I smoked some crack, banged on some pots and pans and read old Star Trek scripts to the beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
