Video: American Juggalo (Documentary)

Sean Dunne filmed a short documentary last month called 'American Juggalo'.  For those of you not in the know, a "Juggalo" is a self-described term for a fan of the Insane Clown Posse.  Every August, thousands of Juggalos come together in rural Illinois for The Gathering of the Juggalos.  It's a week of concerts, alcohol, drugs, carnival rides and "family".

The documentary is very well made.  It's surprisingly fascinating.  Once I started it, I couldn't turn it off.  It was like watching a National Geographic special on a lost tribe.  The video did solidify all of my assumptions about the Juggalo demographic, however.  Nothing but unemployed, uneducated, poor, drug addicted  white trash.  This film could easily be fodder for the Republican party to end all entitlement programs.  You even have expectant mothers smoking on film.  Lovely bunch of people.

I highly recommend watching it.  The documentary is EXTREMELY NSFW (EXCESSIVE LANGUAGE, NUDITY, DRUG USE, ETC.)

Quote Of The Day

“Amy Winehouse makes an awesome record, then uses drugs, then dies harming absolutely no one. People shake their head in disgust and berate her.  Ryan Dunn sticks a toy car in his asshole, drinks a copious amount of alcohol, then drives 150+ MPH with someone in his car, killing himself and murdering the passenger in the process. The internet mourns.”

Amy Winehouse Found Dead In London Apartment

Very sad, but not unexpected, news for the music industry this afternoon.  Amy Winehouse, five time Grammy award winner, has been found dead in her London apartment.  An ambulance was called to respond to the report of a deceased woman being found.  According to London Police:

"On arrival officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene.  Enquiries continue into the circumstances of the death.  At this early stage it is being treated as unexplained."

Winehouse last appeared onstage three days ago at the ITunes Music Festival in London.  While she didn't sing during her appearance, she appeared, for the most part, sober while she danced on stage.



Amy notoriously battled addiction for most of her adult life, cancelling much of her current European tour in order to undergo rehab treatment.  Video surfaced weeks ago showing a disheveled and slurring Winehouse performing in Serbia.



Though her legacy will likely revolve around her drug use, for her fans, she will be remembered as a unique voice in a sea of bubble gum pop music.  She brought a level of class and seductiveness to modern music that had been missing since the passing of Billy Holiday and Sarah Vaughn.  She will sorely be missed.



An autopsy is scheduled for tomorrow to determine the cause of death.  What a loss.

Getting High On The Holy Spirit?

John Crowder, a U.S. preacher, and self-proclaimed mystic and "Youtube Prophet", goes around the world literally getting people high on Jesus.  He stands on stage and pretends to shoot up heroin or smoke a joint, starts acting high, and then encourages the audience to start shooting up as well.  He's telling people to, and I'm quoting here, "Take a toke of the Jehovajuana".

What?!?  People take this seriously?!?  He's making a living pretending to be a "tweaker for Christ"?  Current TV did a half hour piece on this guy and his followers.  It's amazing to see what people will be desperate enough to believe these days.
