Welcome to Hallowicked, weaklings!  The historical Fillmore Theatre in downtown Detroit experiences a night that no other venue can boast…having the floors and walls and patrons and employees all drenched with yummy, sticky, Detroit-original, Faygo Soda while a tight-knit, hair-braided family of wicked (not really) clowns romp, dance and worship at the alter of the Most Insane.  That said, Psychopathic Records and ICP is are an interesting paradox.  The label and its artists portray a nuts-o group of wacky killer clowns that intend to provoke mayhem and discord at every turn, yet a single attendance to a gathering or ‘wicked gig leaves an outsider scratching their confused head (with unbraided hair).  Admit it or not, Juggalos are cool.  Not in a way that is just cool to me, but in general cool.  You probably don’t know this because you haven’t taken a hot-second to put your size 9′s in a clowns size 13′s; try it, you may just surprise yourself with a NEW experience.  The mantra of ‘FAMILY FAMILY FAMILY‘ cant be heard at a sweet Demi Lovato gig, or even at your own house for that matter, but it IS SHOUTED at a Juggalo party and it actually has meaning.  The bottom line is, ICP has created a following that has each others’ backs, with lyrics that rage against a system that has rejected its fans; the rage is not at you, plain vanilla folks, please relax and let live.   So I shall do you all a favor and say this on your behalf:

Detroit loves you ICP, you are as much ours as that Faygo Root Beer in the garage fridge.
