  • For those unfamiliar, I think the article is a look into the subculture that is the Juggalo's, spurred on by this song.
    And, I think the 2nd page of the article is good, and builds on what Gary was saying- they are sincere, and square. They dig magic, stilts, and each other with out irony.

    My son, Christopher Colt Kelley, was murdered on December 21, 2001. He was 15 years old and he was a real Juggalo. He used to try and get me to play ICP cd's all the time whenever we were riding in the car together and I wouldn't listen to them. When he was murdered I took the time to sit and listen to what he was in to. I haven't stopped listening to ICP yet. I met Violent J once before Shangri-La came out and I told him all about my son. He held my hand and told me in these words that I will never forget, "You should not be sad that he is gone, you should always look at it like this, whenever it rains, that's him Raining Diamonds down on you." Then Shangri-La dropped and I heard It Rains Diamonds...and I could not stop crying. Now I am a 37 year old Juggalette and I'll be that way 'til I'm dead in the ground. My son was buried with an ICP shirt on and a Hatchetman round his neck. And I plan on going the same way. Everyone has their own thoughts about ICP and the Dark Carnival...but if you're not a true Juggalo....you'll never get it. MCL and R.I.P. Colt....we miss you.

    having only been on soulstrut for about a year, I was starting to feel like a real jerk until I read "Now I am a 37 year old Juggalette" and realized these were NOT Gary's words...phew!

    I am absolutely unafraid of Juggalos, for the record. Maybe I'm a sucker, but I think I can see a something in their eyes, a glimmer of tongue-in-cheekness; these dudes are just some of the luckiest dudes on earth. Started out with a cornball gimmick, milked it, and the golden cow shat out a diamond turd from the miracle sky. Or whatever. Because I refuse to believe they're serious, I am completely unafraid of them. No more so than I am of any other jeans shorts wearing XXXXXL teeshirt purple-braided chubby whytes, that is...

    Yes! It's from the Best Show on WFMU, Paul F. Tompkins & Tom Scharpling discussing the Gathering of the Juggalos.

    They killed it.

    What's with Islands? Get more land. What's with desserts? Get more sand.

    What cracks me up about the FBI thing is knowing that there will be (if not already) a federal agent(s) that gets assigned to go undercover as a psychopathic hip-hop clown. That would make a great movie.

  • When I saw this thread title I was all like "wow, Soul Strutters are into the Instant Composer's Pool?"

    But then I was like "oh, shoulda known this was all about those clowns."
