Lately, Violent J said, he has been seeing a psychiatrist and taking medication to help him cope with the persistent feeling that he can never turn off the pressures of work.

I'd hope they would both be wearing their Juggalo makeup, were that the case. Maybe Violent J could incorporate a greasepaint moustache as a disguise.

It’s not that Middle America will be won over to Juggalo culture. It’s that Juggalo culture and its detachment from mainstream institutions will come to increasingly define an America with a permanent underclass that neither hopes to nor can improve its lot.To be sure, this is far from an ideal outcome. But it’s not the worst of all possible worlds, either. For all their devotion to lyrics glorifying mindless violence and stunted sexuality, Juggalos aren’t the amoral nihilists their detractors make them out to be. The accoutrements of the Juggalo lifestyle aren’t free, and even if they’re not in careers with upward trajectories, interviews with Juggalos reflect that many if not most of them have regular jobs. (ICP’s lyrics include this explanation: “[A Juggalo] graduated from…well / At least, he got a job / He’s not a dumb putz / He works for himself scratching his nuts.”) And while it’s not the Mosaic code, Juggalos do have an ethical code that includes respecting the property and persons of other Juggalos, a theme the Insane Clown Posse themselves stress in interviews.The pictures that Murray and Cowen paint of America’s future are not hopeful—and both are loath to offer prescriptions. But if we are on an inexorable path to where a large swath of our countrymen are unmoored from the bourgeois virtues, kith, and kin, a commitment to the “Juggalo family” may be better than no commitment at all.

https://reverb.com/news/dutch-avant-jazz-pianist-and-innovator-misha-mengelberg-dies-at-81
Misha Mengelberg, piano luminary in the Dutch free jazz scene and co–founder of the Instant Composers Pool, died in Amsterdam today at the age of 81.Mengelberg rose to eminence starting in the late 1960s at the nexus of the Fluxus and free jazz movements. His first recording appearance happens to be on one of the most consequential albums for the Netherlands’ budding jazz scene, playing piano on Eric Dolphy’s Last Date recorded less than a month before Dolphy’s own passing.Dolphy found loving audiences in the Netherlands, and Mengelberg was among the key Dutch players finding inspiration for a native scene. The Dutch avant jazz scene, revolving around venues like the Bimhuis, would go on to become one of the most vibrant in Europe, thanks in large part to Mengelberg.Mengelberg helped form the Instant Composers Pool out of a Fluxus impulse, alongside percussionist Han Bennink and saxophone player Willem Breuker. The ICP resembled the American avant jazz collective Association for Advancement of Creative Music in form, featuring a rotating cast of improvisers, including the AACM’s own members like George Lewis.Through the ICP Orchestra and in collaboration with fellow innovators like Peter Brotzman, Derek Bailey, Steve Lacy, and Anthony Braxton, Mengelberg helped stake out a distinctly European free improvisation language steeped in space, careful listening, and a very Dutch free-wheeling and sometimes tongue–in–cheek attitude.Mengelberg drew from Thelonious Monk and John Cage alike to create an a lyrical, impressionistic improvisation style all his own. His was a sound always ringing with jazz’s past, always aimed at the future, experienced best in the present.

i interviewed him once -- he would have liked being feted in this thread i think (certainly more than he would have liked that obit, which is made of cliche)
(vivid memory of a moment in a show he did -- company week 1987 maybe? not sure -- with han bennink, and bennink ceasing to batter his drums for a moment and lumbering the piano to delicately place a small mickey mouse figurine at the end of misha's keyboard)

there was another, more loosely organized rally that same day of white supremacists and captain america cosplayers, the juggalo rally was better attended tho. they were joined by antifa who view them as allies against the alt-right, and socialists who recognize their raison d'etre as class struggle.

i dunno about red, but they've always been about mutual aid ("juggalo family"). a friend of mine lived in a juggalo squatter warehouse for a while when she was homeless and her report was they all had criminal records but were all fundamentally good people who were supportive of each other.

i learned from a tweet the other day that my most fondly remembered occupy camp fixture ("nic at nite", who wandered around yelling "if you got a cigarette i need a cigarette / if you need a cigarette i got a cigarette / i'm nic at nite / i jones so you don't have to") was apparently only one of an entire squad of nic at nites, deployed to occupies nationwide by the juggalos?
maybe i have my juggagraphics muddled but have always assumed that they are largely from the alienated permanent-service class and as such are natural reds, as opposed to suburban professionals who are natural fash. as the juggalos also seem to be largely white i'm glad they are inoculating themselves against the usual american technique for bridging this gap.
