Juggalettes for Life?

source .. story here

Check the story, if you're so interested..... It made me sick, physically. I felt sick to my stomach. I know there are exceptions to all rules. I know there is bad eggs and good eggs and the likes.

This bothered me and made think, long and hard

I was bored this morning, how that happened I still can't be sure.  In my boredom I logged into my email, finally.  Some years back when the love flowed better in my veins I indulged in quite a bit of the Psychopathic Family.  Have I mentioned this before?

I've had a weak spot for ICP and Twizid since my days in High School, my "juggalo love" you might call it.  I've been to many a concert and painted my face like the rest of my brethren and sistren.   Yes on occasion I'm guilty of speaking like a dummy.  It is what it is, we're all guilty at times.

I'm in my email today and I'm clicking through, ending up on the Psychopathic newsletter I must have signed up for years ago... Towards then end of the newsletter I read that a lady, juggalette if you will,was going through divorce. Her soon to be ex husband took their daughter and would not return her. Actually went as far as telling the cops and judge that the child's mother was a violent juggalo. From what I've heard, gathered and read... Juggalos are now considered gang members?!?!?  In the end she actually lost custody of her child and isn't allowed to participate in the child's life without the fathers permission..

OVER MUSIC!  THIS BLOWS MY MIND!!!

I will give them one thing... The music isn't for children, I've never let my child listen to anything by any band on their label. It's just not right ... But it makes me laugh sometimes...

Is this bad?

Never in all my years did I even think that they would consider a group of people who enjoy a certain band or bands gang members?  It blew my mind.   Then I read what that guy said and was just even more bothered by it.

I don't know why it's bothersome to me, I just hate to think that people look at me that way!  I enjoyed their music for many years and will occasionally still listen to some of it. I haven't been to their shows in a few years, but that's not because I don't want to.  Life happens, sometimes I just can't.

I do remember the disappointment I felt the last time I went to a Twiztid show and there was a child walking around with his parents drinking Red Bull. I died a little inside that night...

I worry now driving around with my hatchet man sticker on the back of my car. On more than one occasion I have received unwanted attention from people who also enjoy their music.

Perhaps it's time for me to grow up and put away my childish things?  But at the same time it just doesn't seem fair to me to lose and give up the things I once enjoyed because I'm worried what people might think.

thoughts?

Music for a Tuesday

Not the original by Steve Miller Band, but it's still a favorite of mine. I think I really just enjoy the song, but because I've listened to and know a bit more about Insane Clown Posse.  It just makes more sense for me to share this version!  Makes more sense to me anyway.

So for many a year in high school and still at times since, I've always enjoyed a good giggle from Insane Clown Posse and a lot of the psychopathic family.  Which is rumored as  of late to be considered a "gang" or something in the Michigan area which is where they began and still live I presume. It's been a couple of years since I laid eyes on a Psychopathic Show of any kind. If I'm not mistaken I think my last show was Twiztid, these guys here. I love my "family" as we're called, but what I didn't love was seeing the 8-10 year old walking around with his parents drinking red bull, the whole place full of cigarette smoke and the words that come out of this bands mouth. Though may not be bad to a lot of parents standards, but for mine, lets just say I don't play ICP or anything in the family while my child is present. Call me overprotective, call me over bearing.  Ya can fuck off too!

There will come a time in my life when I can't protect my daughter from all that I see as bad for children.  Note I said BAD FOR CHILDREN.  It doesn't mean I'm some old prude (only sometimes) that wants to hypocrite on everything, I'm in no way that. I just think children shouldn't be pounding Red Bull at 10, that shits bad for you yo!  A room full of cigarette smoke. HELLO I know you see the commercials on television.  Some people are fucked in the head, I know cause I'm one of them.  bwhahaha

Damn I went  off on a rant there, so sorry. Enjoy the tunes and Hang in there Dingleberries, still a few more days this week. For those who would like to compare, jam to Steve Miller Band when you're done and just FYI the video they are showing with the joker up there, that shit ain't right!!  Completely different song and it's a damn awesome song if you askn me ;)
