I never in my life would have ever thought that someone could make such a beautiful song about someone who was so despicably evil. John Wayne Gacy Jr. aka Pogo the Clown was one of America’s most notorious serial killers who raped and killed at least 33 young men and boys.
I can only wonder why Sufjan Stevens would even attempt at making a song about this guy, but I won’t begrudge him the attempt…which he pulls off remarkably well. The track “John Wayne Gacy Jr.” is from the album Illinois which should be an album you hear at least once in your lifetime. I have to give credit to Ryan Wilson and Ethan B. from the Rock Beats Scissors podcast here at WPR for turning me on to this song.
I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
