""Which comes first, 1950 or 1976? The Opry or punk, Vogue or Vampire Vogue? This is Satanic time: time as shit.""
"The Shithole Opry was what he and the iconic fashion designer Vivienne Westwood called Nashville's Grand Ole Opry beginning in 1950, when they discovered hillbilly vampires feeding on the excrement of country stars such as Hank Williams.""
The Shithole Opry Collector's Guide presents a surreal narrative featuring Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood's reinterpretation of Nashville's Grand Ole Opry. The book showcases bizarre jewelry made from eclectic materials, including memorabilia and plastic fangs. It includes a review by a fictional Hank Williams in Vampire Vogue, filled with puns and absurdity. The narrative explores themes of time and culture, merging punk with country music in a fantastical, darkly humorous manner.
