The word of the Day is: Juggalo.

This is what hard-core fans of Insane Clown Posse call themselves.

I didn’t know the band was still around, by now they all must be cue-ball headed jiggling mounds of moobs.

When you think of bands of that era they are usually relegated to playing the Casino circut. It’s both cool and sad at the same time. You can get to see bands like Heart, the B52’s and whatnot in somewhat smaller soft seat rooms that hold maybe 2500 people.  That’s the cool part. Then you get to thinking about how these groups used to sell out stadiums back in the day, and they are still out there only now they are playing at the Casino in Peoria. That’s the sad part.

I can remember seeing Nazareth back in the late 80’s when they were playing at a now defunct bar that was located in the basement of  The Bay department store in downtown Toronto.  At that time I was thinking how it was pretty sad that they were playing at such a trashy little club. They are still playing the Casino circut almost 30 years later. How sad is that?

Don’t even get me started on Creedence Clearwater Revisited. The lot of them just don’t seem to know when to stop flogging a dead horse.

Other bands ride the downward spiral and eventually flog TO the dead.  Kiss were probably the first do this. They sold the Kiss Kasket on their website from 1996 to 2006.  DimeBag Darrel was buried in one.

The guys of Insane Clown Posse refuse to play Casinos, and are now selling custom designed coffins to the jugalo community instead. Here is an interview with one of their satisfied clients:
