I never did catch an explanation for this phrase.
Bango Skank *spoilers
I never did catch an explanation for this phrase.
There is no real explanation. He was a never-seen character created by Peter Straub and utilized by King.
From The Road to the Dark Tower:
Peter Straub originally created Bango Skank for The Talisman but never used him in that book. He does appear, though, in Straub’s short story “The Buffalo Hunters” in Houses Without Doors. In a personal communication, King said that Bango keeps popping up in his work like “a kind of graffiti boogeyman.”
Oh thank you very much, Bev! I've wondered about Bango Skank as well.
"...neither the stupid jokes nor the easy surface emotions were the truth of Cuthbert Allgood."
Ahhh, A literary "Kilroy was here". Thanks Bev!!!

Thank you so much for this nice explanation.
(I'm going to move this thread to the Villagers, the character discussion section, in some days.)
Roland would have understood.

Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought Bango Skank was a motorcycle.
I mean a band.
It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
The hands of the many must join as one.
And together we'll cross the river.

Another question, so what did Bango Skank do when he got to the tower. The picture on the title page has his graffiti placed right next to the sidewalk.
I've always wondered about the mysterious "Bango Skank" as well. Quite the enigma, that one.
Elodin: "Tombs is for feckless twits who can't chew their own food. My boy's a Re'lar! He has the feck of twenty men!"
Kvothe: “Books are a poor substitute for female companionship, but they are easier to find.”
Simmon: ”It’s just ointment in case you get burned...but if you mix it with piss, it turns into candy.” Sim’s expression was deadpan. “Delicious candy.”
i never see any cool grafiti -I've been writing bango skank graffiti in bathroom stalls with permanent red marker for a while now
A photo of my favorite graffiti is included in The Road to the Dark Tower -- someone wrote "Roland was here" on a construction fence near the real site of the Dark Tower in Manhattan. My editor noticed it one day when he was out for a walk.
i saw that when i read the book, it really tickled me
