“Hair too long,” “pants too tight,” “sounds like Kiss,” “Alice Cooper’s dead,” and other reasons Twister Sister spent a decade trying to get a record deal. On The Gist, John French Segall (you know him as Jay Jay French) and director Andrew Horn join us to tell the story behind a new Twisted Sister documentary. The film is available here. You can read Jay’s Inc. magazine column here. For the Spiel, it’s time for another Lobstar of the Antentwig.
