Thank God for Mental illness


I do wonder why Anton Newcombe is so incredibly sexy. I think it's pure arrogance. And that beard.

I have always found Brian Jonestown Massacre quite appealing, firstly for their name. I have a morbid curiosity for cults and sects. Yes, cults sects and feminism this is why me and social situations just don't go well.
For those who aren't weird and don't 'get it' the name comes from Brian Jones (The Rolling Stones) and the mass suicide of the 'Peoples Temple' sect that took place in Jonestown, 1978. Most people call it a cult but I think it's a sect.
I find the concept so scary and..haunting. 909 people died in the suicide from cyanide poisioning guided by the founder Jim Jones. It's crazy to think one man could influence so many people, or control so many people. Although some may argue that's what all religion consists of.

The Ballad of Jim Jones- BJM:
I walked from New York and back from L.A.
I lived on a mountain and once by the bay
I bought an apartment and slept in the hay
but there's no place that's softer than (your arms)

living today is just getting so bad
there's a look on your face
and it says"you've been had!"
you can take all my money
but don't make me mad
cause there's nobody meaner than (me)

I prayed to Buddha, to Allah, and Jim.
I turned to Jesus and stayed there with him
I fell in deep but I learned how to swim
now there's no one who's cleaner than me or than him
