GWAR's Oderus Urungus sold his soul - well, his body - for rock and roll

This GWAR story is getting weirder and weirder.

I previously linked to a post that described how William Brockie, executor of the estate of his son Dave Brockie a/k/a Oderus Urungus, has sued the surviving members of GWAR, claiming (among other things) that GWAR withheld his son's ashes from him.

Well, GWAR has responded. This is part of what Courthouse News says about the case:

According to Gwar, Brockie signed his son's body over to the band, who then assumed the costs of funeral arrangements, including cremation, two services and a plot in Richmond's historic Hollywood Cemetery. Brockie did not attend any of his son's memorials, the band alleges, and that his father was only named executor of the estate by default.

The real battle, of course, isn't over Dave Brockie's ashes, but Dave Brockie's money. More here.

A band is being sued over a former member's cremated ashes

I read Courthouse News Service regularly, and sometimes I come across some really interesting things.

For example, the father of a deceased lead singer of a band claims, among other things, that the band members stole the lead singer's cremated ashes.

You won't be surprised to learn that the band in question is GWAR - the costumed favorite band of Beavis and Butt-Head.

Details on the lawsuit can be found here.
