Sexiest 90s musician: El Duce
Peak male form
The Mentors fan club mailings, 1991.
Meeting El Duce.
October 1992, Hollywood Palladium. I was seeing The Ramones with my brother Gus and our pal Kevin. After the show, while doing the usual post-concert rounds of looking intently at the ground to see if anyone dropped any money, I spotted Eldon "El Duce" Hoke of The Mentors milling around by the stage. All 3 of us were big Mentors fans, and I excitedly pointed him out to the guys, but neither of them, apparently intimidated by him, seemed at all interested in going over to talk to him with me. Calling my comrades pussies, I walked right up to Duce and said "DUCE!". He responded "HEY!". I then said, while pointing at Gus and Kev, "DUCE! You've got to meet these guys over here, they worship you!". Duce said "HEY!" in the slightly wrong direction, which was fine because he was clearly incredibly drunk. Realizing that he wasn't going to be too responsive to anything I said, I closed with "It's been an honor to meet you, Duce. You fucking rule" and gave him a huge hug, to which he said "HEY!" to nobody in particular. I walked back to Gus and Kevin, and said "that wasn't so hard, he was totally cool". Neither said anything, but merely stared at me in horror. I didn't realize why until I turned back to glance at Duce once more, only to see that his pants were around his ankles, and evidently had been the entire time.
