Shane Bugbee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shane Bugbee (born November 9, 1968) is an underground publisher, communicator, event promoter, and radio broadcaster.
He has been criticised for allegedly exploiting the death of Dana Plato of Diff'rent Strokes by releasing a CD recording of her "dying breath" [1][2].
In 1986 he established Michael Hunt Publishing, later publishing cartoonist Mike Diana.
In 1997 Bugbee and his wife Amy organized "The Expo of the Extreme", a three day event featuring bands, artists, films, petty criminals, and porn stars. The second installment of "The Expo Of The Extreme" in 1999, was to include Dana Plato as the hostess of an event highlighting Motörhead and Fang, but she died just weeks before the event from an alleged prescription drug suicide. [3]
In the course of his work, Bugbee has interviewed various well-known individuals, including TV magician Penn Jillette, and Anton LaVey, the High Priest of the Church of Satan.
Bugbee has recently turned his attention to environmental and political concerns.
