Brooklyn Vegan Interviews GWAR About Crack-A-Thon
Chris Zeigler of Brooklyn Vegan has posted an informative (& hilarious) interview with Oderus Urungus of GWAR about their Crack-a-thon that is taking place in Brooklyn on April 10th as well as Fox News, Juggalos and John Mayer.
Isn’t FOX News’ slogan the same as Gwar’s? ‘America Must Be Destroyed’?
On the down-low, that’s what it is and it’s getting more and more popular all the time, and as usual Gwar was fucking light years ahead of everybody else.
On Juggalos…
How do you feel about Juggalos? Proud? Paternal?
I applaud their efforts. I’ve never been a big fan of rap except when it was-you know-good. But we had a lot in common with them in that we’re the bastard children of the recording industry, and they-much like Gwar-have just done their own thing the whole time. They’ve been completely maligned and ridiculed and hated, but those guys make tons of fucking money and they’re completely fanatically supported by all these freaks, and it’s a very strange cultural phenomenon. And for me to think something is fucking strange-it’s gotta be pretty fucking strange. It all boiled over when we played The Gathering of the Juggalos last year, and we almost went on tour with ICP this spring … but they backed out at the last second. It’s kind of scary playing for them and you look out into the audience and see nothing but a sea of clown faces staring back at you.
