| Hit man for the grunge community or railtrack inspector? EL DUCE - THE MENTORS Eldon Hoke , a.k.a. 'El Duce' pictured here in 1984 was lead singer and drummer of scary US shock rock band the Mentors. He apparently made GG Allen look positively sober! They endorsed sexually violent lyrics which gained the band some notoriety in the mid-80's. They became one of Tipper Gore's big enemies during her infamous PMRC campaign, which successfully brought about warning labels to parents on record albums. The often homeless and pissed El Duce, whose wildest boast was that Courtney Love had asked him to kill Kurt Cobain, which he declined because he had a Mentors tour booked. However there is a conspiracy theory someone else did the dirty deed and El Duce knew who it was? Strangely 2 months after this boast he finally ended his mad drunken life under a train.

| The late, great El Duce, an alcoholic-junkie who had a penchant for Bag Ladies. Claimed Courtney Love offered him $50,000 to off Cobain in the year preceeding Cobain's death. He passed an official lie detector test about the claim with a 97% reading. |
