Here's Miss/Mr County doing some mike stand plumbing on stage back in 1977
A punkette from Liverpool, UK in 1977 was arrested for the heinous crme of wearing a Wayne County And The Electric Chairs badge that proclaimed the words "FUCK-OFF"
Plain Wayne County (nee Rogers) of The Electric Chairs circa '77 as he was then called. Has long been a diverting somewhat unusual part of the original punk scene. His shock tactics scored a hit amongst the UK 1977 punk audience. And the then resident New York DJ liked it here so much he continued  to taunt us with songs like 'Fuck Off'. And the odd stage prop consisting of dildo's and flying dog food masquerading as turds! Whatever the critics said he was always gonna get column space. However when the first punk bubble burst Wayne took on a whole new gamble in life for Wayne turned into Jayne in 1983 and became punks first transsexual. She bragged "Five to six weeks after my final operation I had my first female orgasm!". Her music took a back seat in the 90's only playing rare shows that were pretty tame by comparison. But If you ever get a chance check out his/her classic punk anthems like 'Max's Kansas City' and 'On The Crest'..This snap was picked up on the web somewhere so if you took it lemme know and i'll credit you.
