I can't offer any big insights, since I never bought anything of his and didn't bother to go to the Orlando show (where he got arrested and nearly got a club closed, by pooping on the stage if memory serves. But I did get to hear some country music that he recorded, which was surprisingly good and apparently unironic -- and you've never have known it was the infamous Mr. Allin. Tjis was courtesy of Paul Reller, an associate professor in composition at the University of South Florida who had done some recording with GG and let me hear it -- I don't recall that it was ever pressed, I think I heard a cassette.
Reller used to be in a band called Clang, and if you ever come across one of their releases in a bargain bin somewhere, it's definitely worth picking up. The group included two Eastman grads (guitar and keyboards) and two self-taught rock musicians (the rhythm section), an interesting combination, and they had a bunch of very hummable, very danceable songs. It was always fun to watch people bopping along to the tunes at shows and not paying any attention to the lyrics, which tended to be pretty twisted.
