Eve of Destruction : The Wild Life of Wendy O. Williams
Wendy O. Williams / Plasmatics - Book - by Robin Eisgrau
(2020)
As
singer of the punk/metal band the Plasmatics, Wendy Orlean Williams was
the most outrageous female performer in rock music. She often appeared
onstage topless, save for black tape on her nipples and shaving cream
smeared on her breasts. During a Plasmatics performance, Wendy would
destroy a television set with a sledgehammer, slice apart an electric
guitar with a chainsaw and blow up a car with dynamite, all the name of
combating materialism and undermining the status quo.
Even
though she was ferocious on stage, Wendy was by no means a rock'n'roll
animal. A strict vegetarian who often ran six miles a day and lifted
weights, Wendy hated drugs and alcohol, was in remarkable physical shape
and was well-liked for her polite demeanor.
