I Kinda Wanna Go See This Insane Clown Posse Tour
Several years ago, a member of the metal industry widely known as Juggalo Bob for obvious reasons dragged me to an Insane Clown Posse show. I figured when in Rome, right? So I just fucking went for it — up in the pit, bopping along, left the show DRENCHED head to toe in diet root beer Faygo — and I had the fucking time of my life! I wouldn’t say the experience made me an ICP fan — I can’t name a single song of theirs, still — but it did give me respect for their craft, and I had FUN! When was the last time you had unabashed fun at a metal show, Mr. or Ms. Arms Crossed in the Back?
So when a press release landed in my inbox this morning announcing an impending Insane Clown Posse tour, well, it got me thinking — maybe it’s time for round two! The absolutely scrumptious press copy / backstory, which fully plays into the ICP mythology, certainly helps:
“We’ve just uncovered and decoded secret alien communications that reveal an imminent attack on our planet. Just as we have finally finished rebuilding and once again established a sense of peace and normalcy, the Insane Clown Posse are returning to Earth.
“It’s been over 20 years since the ICP first appeared in their deadly and unstoppable spaceships destroying every structure and living creature in their path.
“After reigning a year-long plague of endless terror down onto the planet, these despicable beings disappeared as quickly as they had once come.
“For the last 20 years, you’ve been able to live your lives in peace. Safe from any panic. Safe from horror. Safe from despair.
“But once again you are no longer safe.
“Nobody is safe, as we all prepare for the return of these Wicked Clowns From Outer Space!”
