This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''The Troubled Troubadour''''' is a posthumous expanded compact disc edition of [[punk rock]] singer-songwriter and musician [[GG Allin]]'s original 1990 [[The Troubled Troubador (EP)|7-inch EP]] of the same name.

With the 1,500-copy pressing of the original ''Troubled Troubador'' EP having long sold out by the time GG Allin had died of a drug overdose in 1993, Mountain Records owner and president Stewart Brodian had been getting a large number of requests from Allin fans who had missed out on the original recording.

In October 1995, Brodian gathered together the original master tape of the 7-inch EP, which was still in his possession, and with the help of Allin's friend and archivist Skeeter Rider, added an outtake from the same May 1989 session that originally produced the EP, a 1985 acoustic demo of an early Allin-composed and performed country song, two spoken word tracks recorded by Allin in 1988, two cover versions recorded with [[The Jabbers]] in 1982 and with The Disappointments in July 1989, and – probably the most fascinating of the bonus tracks – three unedited phone conversations between GG Allin and Stewart Brodian, recorded on Brodian's answering machine in New Jersey and conducted from GG's end while he was serving his felonious assault sentence in Michigan.

==The bonus tracks==

===The phone conversations===
On the phone conversations, Allin's public persona of an anti-social troublemaker is practically shattered. ((Opinion|date=July 2020)) He laughs, makes jokes, rationally and intelligently discusses business with Brodian regarding the original EP as well as plans for Allin's first post-prison performances, and waxes rhapsodic about his love for the country music of [[Hank Williams Sr.]], [[Boxcar Willie]], and [[Stonewall Jackson (musician)|Stonewall Jackson]] ("I could listen to [[country and western|that shit]] all day."), and for [[Robert Johnson (musician)|old blues recordings]], as well as how proud Allin was of the recordings that became the original ''Troubled Troubador'' EP and how they first came about, even going so far as to predict, "It's one of those records that'll sell forever. As years go on, people want my stuff more, even the older stuff."  Allin and Brodian, when not discussing business, found that they had a lot in common as artists that started pressing and releasing their own recordings.

===The cover versions===
The cover versions featured on the expanded CD edition are of GG and the Jabbers performing the [[Ohio Express]] obscurity "Up Against The Wall", and of GG and the Disappointments performing a rather chaotic version of [[The Rolling Stones]]' "Dead Flowers".  The Jabbers recording was first released on the ''[[No Rules (GG Allin EP)|No Rules]]'' EP in 1982 by [[David Peel (musician)|David Peel]]'s [[Orange Records]] label, and would later turn up on a semi-bootleg 45 in 1993, while the Disappointments recording is one of the few Allin made with that backing group before his arrest by [[U.S. Secret Service]] agents and extradition to Michigan several weeks later.

===The spoken word tracks===
The two spoken word tracks on the album were supplied by Skeeter Rider. GG recorded them at a low tape speed, while drunk one night in Chicago 1988.  To most ears, these tracks sound rather evil, monstrous or even possessed.  Whatever Allin's motive or intention was behind the deliberate tape speed of these tracks, it is likely that the playback was done according to Allin's own specifications, an assumption backed up by the fact that Allin fully trusted and appreciated what Brodian had done with the original EP, and had discussed doing spoken word recordings and performances after Allin's release from prison. In the hours before his death, he was discussing plans for a spoken word album.

==="Rowdy Beer Drinkin' Night"===
"Rowdy Beer Drinkin' Night" is almost an anomaly to people who are only familiar with Allin's stage act and/or his less civilized recordings.  A normal-sounding country and western song recorded as a demo in Allin's bathroom in 1985, Allin does not employ any profanities whatsoever in the recording – an instance rather astounding when one notes that Allin had released his infamous ''[[Eat My Fuc]]'' album the year before.  Some people have speculated that Allin was considering abandoning punk rock entirely after ''Eat My Fuc'' and embracing country music in the style of [[Hank Williams Sr.]] and [[Hank Williams Jr.|Jr.]] and [[David Allan Coe]] at the time he wrote and recorded this demo.

In his liner notes for the CD, Brodian sums up his view of GG Allin by stating, "GG had his 'on stage' personality, but he was a really smart guy, and despite his faults, I really miss him."
