Sad News: Leonard Dillon of the Ethiopians is dead.

Sad news indeed. Leonard Dillon of the Ethiopians is dead. Definitely one of the better groups from that era.

According to his daughter, Patrice, he was first diagnosed with a brain a tumor and he did an operation in February to remove it, returning home “quite well and okay”. In June, he fell ill again and this time he was diagnosed with lung, brain and prostate cancer.

Sean Dunne: American Juggalo Documentary (NSFW)

Rarely understood and often mocked, director/filmmaker Sean Dunne captures a candid glimpse into the perplexing sub-culture of the American Juggalo. Characterized by their love for Insane Clown Posse, face painting, and cravings for violence, Juggalos and Jugalettes from across America converge upon the woods of Cave-In-Rock, Illinois, once every year for four days at The Gathering of Juggalos. The same ties that bind familiar communities and close-knit groups scattered across the United States are, in a bizarre way shared with those thousands that flock to the annual pseudo-Thanksgiving Juggalo event. The interview-driven video forgoes excessive editing or censoring to provide an unabashed dialogue with many of the event’s attendees and supporters.

Fox 5 News spoke with him when he got down the road.  Wearing a ‘New York’s Best Dad!’ T-shirt, the slightly rotund man was visibly winded at the end of his journey.

Arnold said, ‘the water was quite brisk but refreshing.’”
