The Jeers of a Clown

The Posse's messages may never spread to a mass audience. But Violent J, like the dark carnival barker he is, is brimming with confidence. "I see Insane Clown Posse goin' triple platinum, because we're the greatest band to ever step on a stage, even though we don't know how to play an instrument. And we know how to get the word out. We're applyin' the same tactics we used in Michigan, and it's workin'. Island's comin' to us, askin', 'What do you think we should do next?' Which is pretty cool--because we're a bunch of fuckin' idiots."

Insane Clown Posse. 8 p.m. Friday, September 26, Ogden Theatre, 935 East Colfax, $14, 830-2525 or 1-800-444-
