Description: About as rare an autograph as you’ll find. The Mentor’s Up The Dose Label: Death Records (3) – DEATH 007, Restless Records – 72172-1 Signed on the back cover “To Larry, stick your c@*k between these jugs- El Duce” If you are looking at this listing, the odds are you know the entire rap sheet and legend that is the Mentors. The innovators of “rape rock” El Duce, born Eldon Wayne Hoke, also has a tie to Kurt Cobain and Nirvana, claiming in the 1998 film ‘Kurt and Courtney’ that he was offered 50k to kill Kurt Cobain. El Duce was mysteriously hit by a train And killed 8 days later On April 19, 1997, one day after his final performance and talking to Brent Alden, and eight days after filming his interview with Nick Broomfield for the Kurt & Courtney documentary, Hoke was found dead on the railroad tracks in Riverside, California. He was "decapitated in the accident — he was hit full on by a freight train doing 60 MPH", according to Steve Broy, the Mentors' bass player. Subsequent tests indicated a high blood alcohol content and thus Hoke's official cause of death was given by the coroner's office as "misadventure".Al Jourgensen (of the industrial metal band Ministry) wrote in his autobiography that El Duce was killed by the train when some fans on the other side of the railroad tracks called his name and, as he attempted to cross to meet them, his toes became stuck in the track.Another story is that he gave a Nazi salute in front of the train as it mowed him down. Due to the timing of his death (eight days after the Kurt and Courtney interview), conspiracy theorists have speculated that his death was related to the statements he made that Courtney Love offered him $50,000 to "whack" Cobain, and that someone named "Allen" took the offer.
