Greenhouse-Effect-Song-Classics. SHE'S A BITCH ( Misogynistia ) ..... ALL THE CLARK 'THE SHARK' HAGINS CLASSICS @ ROCK CITY VIDEO
Rock Opera 'White Suburban Liar$' Greenhouse Effect Music - 1992. from Greenhouse Effect Boryja force on Vimeo.
The September 1992 classic "Misogynistia" from Greenhouse Effect and Clark Hagins. This song is the lead off 'opening track" on the 16 Song 'The Rock Opera - White Suburban Liar$' which ofcourse is an expansion upon 1991's 'Going Legit' cd. "Shes a bitch and then you live" exclaims the classic chorus break of this well known South Bay (Redondo Beach / Torrance California) rock anthem of Los Angeles. Clark hagins ofcourse would get into tangles with magazines like Ben is dead and Bam Magazine as his desires to 'speak out' against liberal (and sometimes rightwing too) political ideas often got him in hot water as he rubbed practically everybody - and especially his own family in particular - the wrong way ,..as 'the' independent thinker !! At only 5 foot 5' tall, it WAS virtually impossible for hagins to ever get any respect or back up ,..but his music 'always' did the talking - with nothing but hit songs; WHITE BLACK THANG, STAR, BEN IS DEAD, IT AIN'T EASY, 22nd Street, People that won't back down, Search and Destroy, Dead End street, Manipulation, Addicted, America the beautiful,..and nevermind all the tunes in the great collection of pre-1991 that Hagins recorded alongside guitar master Phil Keegan (Dr. Phil) in the 'first' incarnation of Greenhouse Effect from 1985 til 1990 ! Keyboardest and Sound producer Bill Krodel often played the synthesizer parts on G.e. songs and spoke highly of Hagins as one of the best people he ever recorded! "Misogynistia" and it's millions of views at Google is a stunner and has helped make G.e. into an internet household word as this weird accoustic driven ambient song moves along hillariously displaying the pratfalls of good ol' 666 - THIS ONE IS A KEEPER ! NOTE; WOVEN IN HERE - is live footage of the song 'Ben is dead' at the important August 16, 1991 gig at the hermosa Saloon where the swami Haggins seems to be showing the crowd what the future of 1990's alternative rock n roll will look like !
HAGINS would play and carefully overdub practically ALL the instruments on the mighty Greenhouse Effect collection of songs ! And he was a 'leader' in the South Bay music scene,..often booking whole entire concerts of multiple bands - ALL BY HIMSELF - PUTTING out all the flyers and word on the street himself as if a one man "Blues Brothers' on a mission from God...while too, paying all the city Sound permit fees... ! With virtually no help from no one, no managers, few lawyers, no publicist, no agent, no nothin' hardly, Haggins damn near got Greenhouse Effect signed to a major label - BEFORE THE ALTERNATIVE ROCK BOOM !! - grabbing the attention of many A & R Personel with his great songs,...
Ge were never signed and a tired haggins gave up after some 7 years of trying in November 1992, BUT TODAY - ALL OVER THE INTERNET - GREENHOUSE EFFECT,..and all of their songs including the mega-hit "Brandy" LIVE AGAIN !!! IN 2009 !!
-------------------------------------------------
The Clark Hagins 'Concept' Story for "Going Legit" was the tale of a man who was born with a disease that paralyzed one half of his body in his youth years,...who grows to be ridiculed, 'ignored', and ostricized as he invents many of society's great ideas in anonymity,...while others, higher up in power, coyly steal his ideas - in 1990, he travels to iraq and fights in the first gulf war,...only to come home to be homeless, alcoholic, and in the streets of San Pedro - watching passers-by living normal lives ,..or the 'good life',...he writes songs and poetry in the streets and he crafts an idea called "God's Joke' which is a bluesy piece of poetry,....the 'reality' idea for "Going Legit' is almost an 'album' of real music within a 'fictitious' screenplay,....Whilst in iraq "Maury Wilson", becomes racist and hateful towards virtually all others he feels inferior to him as he wirnesses countless 'human crimes' in his estimation,....he is also exposed to punk rock, opium, and he grows insane, hating virtually all around him ,..before he is discharged,...he comes back home to the United States - and finds he has no money, very little help from the military,..and he ends up homeless and alone in the Los Angeles Seaport Streets,...he crafts an idea about 22nd Street where he often resides,...and he dreams of being younger again and playing music,...the punk rock he learned in the military enables him to write the idea for "Star, You've let me down",...etc; "I fought overseas when I was a young man" he proclaims in one of his poems,...

Near the end of their band's existence in August 1992, Clark Hagins walked into El Segundo's Jet City Sound Studio and He and Engineer Bill Krodel created a Keyboard driven masterpiece here that Sounds Nothing like other Greenhouse-Effect-Songs. Bassist Rick Carmody showed up Late at the sessions but managed to Lay down a very basic bass line attack for "Misogynistia" ( Shes a Bitch.....And then You live ) which today has become a G.e. classic as it is featured in thousands of Online PRO SURFING VIDEOS IN 2009 ,..... ;;
