THE SUPERDUDE STORY...
"Superdude has spent a long time getting you ready for him. He was the boy star of the Brighton Beach water shows--as a stripling he became a regular at The Factory with gossip his specialty and always guaranteed Warhol's ear: the class photo of "Andy Warhol's Superstars" has placed him in that very spot. [SEE Ebay PHOTOS FOR THIS RECORD - "ANDY WARHOL GROUP SHOT" - UPPER RIGHT CORNER]
Jackie Curtis introduced him to Charles Ludlam's Ridiculous Theatrical Company; he appeared in five productions there ("Turds In Hell," "Whores Of Babylon," "Bluebeard," "Eunuchs Of The Forbidden City" and one he can't, for the life of him, remember). David Johansen used to play guitar for them, and Superdude - then just Dude (his middle name) - determined that Rock And Roll was going to be the life for him.
Dude morphed into Superdude, rock and roll star. Along with Pergamo and P's brother Ace on drums they became The Stonemen, playing Max's Kansas City, CBGB'S, Kenny's Castaways, Great Gildersleeves, and the Mercer Arts Center -- everywhere fabulous stuff was going on. He became a downtown celeb, with bands like Kiss and The New York Dolls having him MC their shows. Everything was happening for the 'dude, and for Pergamo, whose own band, Nuclear Energy, was also doing great with a '83 Billboard top album pick with "Ground Zero." Then, a car accident took Ace's life, and left Pergamo badly injured. It took five years for Pergamo to fully recuperate and both bands languished.
While everyone else in New York was turning into yuppies, 'dude spent the latter '80s lying about on European beaches and having a very good time in Amsterdam."
