Confession: the other day, after watching several youtubes of the national Juggalo Gathering, I permitted myself a mildly derisive tweet about them. You can try and find it if you want to. Most of the replies I got from my short burst of smugness were echoes of the sentiments or LOLS, but the best reaction elicited by far was an email from my friend Brick Stowell:
“I am sending photos that i took of juggalos across the country. I am very proud of all these photos. I’m not so much into juggalo music but I respect their culture so much… Like no joke. BRICK”
After the jump, you can find Mr. Stowell’s candid digital stills from a TECH NYNE tour he went on. Apparently Tech Nyne has a Juggalo following, and Brick has a sympathetic eye which has–admittedly–captured a very human side of those who are “down with the clown”. The egg is on my face (no pitbull).
In September 2008, Tech N9ne officially hit a milestone in his career, recording over a million album sales to date, thanks to the release of his most recent double album, Killer.
You may not love Tech N9ne or juggalos but you cant knock the Hustle or the Community..and thats what i live for…..GRUSTLE
