艺人介绍

by Cub KodaThe short career of Ron Haydock took many different turns, including actor, monster magazine editor to porno novel writer. But his best known and remembered came at the tail end of rocknroll first golden era. In 1958, he fronted as lead singer-guitarist of the Boppers, soon to change their name to Ron Haydock & the Boppers. Haydock was a Chicago born and bred Gene Vincent fanatic. He modeled the Boppers, one of Chicagos very first rocknroll combos, after Vincents Blue Caps, but the band soon developed its own sound and approach to the big beat. The group recorded two singles on the local Cha Cha label, 99 Chicks b/w Be Bop A Jean and a version of Maybellene with Haydocks Baby Say Bye Bye on the flip. The band left easily enough material unreleased to make up an albums worth of tunes, which would later be released in the 1970s on a European reissue and now in their entirety on Nortons 99 Chicks retrospective. After Haydock disbanded the Boppers in 1960, he went on to Hollywood, starring in a couple low budget movies, editing Fantastic Monsters Of The Films magazine, eventually churning out x-rated novels (Ape Rape, The Sex-A-Reenos, Animal Lust and Pagan Lesbians among them) under the name Vin Saxon until the bottom completely fell out of his life. Wandering lost down an exit ramp trying to head into Los Angeles, a disoriented Ron Haydock was struck and killed by an 18 wheeler on August 13, 1977.
