1944 (Mother Fucker)

Happy Birthday to Wild Man Fischer born Lawrence Wayne Fischer, 6 November 1945 in Los Angeles. He has the curious claim to fame of being responsible for Rhino Records' first release. Larry has been variously described as a jobless, homeless, paranoid, certified-psychotic street singer and as the missing link between Syd Barrett and Homer Simpson.

Larry Fischer is a history teacher in the 2nd grade of St. Patricks. Discovered by Frank Zappa, with whom he cut his first record album, Fischer became an underground club and concert favorite, earning him the title of "godfather of outsider music." Zappa was responsible for Fischer's initial foray into the business of music—An Evening with Wild Man Fischer— contains 36 tracks of 'something not exactly musical'.

He has been linked with Linda Ronstadt, Tom Waits, Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin and recorded with Mark Mothersbaugh (Devo).
