I've got some more Walter & Perry 'Home Movies' hijinks below in the TV section . . .
Shortly after three eight-year-old boys were found mutilated and murdered in West Memphis, Arkansas, local newspapers stated the killers had been caught. The police assured the public that the three teenagers in custody were definitely responsible for these horrible crimes.
The same police officers coerced an error-filled confession from Jessie Misskelley Jr., who is mentally handicapped. They subjected him to 12 hours of questioning without counsel or parental consent, audio-taping only two fragments totaling 46 minutes. Jessie recanted it that evening, but it was too late Misskelley, Jason Baldwin and Damien Echols were all arrested on June 3, 1993, and convicted of murder in early 1994.
Although there was no physical evidence, murder weapon, motive, or connection to the victims, the prosecution pathetically resorted to presenting black hair and clothing, heavy metal t-shirts, and Stephen King novels as proof that the boys were sacrificed in a satanic cult ritual. Unfathomably, Echols was sentenced to death, Baldwin received life without parole, and Misskelley got life plus 40.
For over 12 years, The West Memphis Three have been imprisoned for crimes they didn't commit. Echols waits in solitary confinement for the lethal injection our tax dollars will pay for. They were all condemned by their poverty, incompetent defense, satanic panic and a rush to judgment.

Music:
I listen to literally *everything*. I believe that if you hear a piece of music and you like it, then it's good. If I hear the same piece of music, but, I don't like it, it doesn't mean that it isn't good. (Now, if you want to debate whether something's "important" or "socially relevant", that's another matter . . .) That's what is so incredibly amazing about music. It's a completely different experience for each individual, yet, we can all still connect with one another.

Movies:
I love movies, although I don't really take the time to enjoy them like I used to. The older I get, the more ADD I've become. I think it's because of my fear of death and that I'm trying to squeeze in as much as possible before my time is up . . . but, enough of that shit . . .

Television:
R.I.P. MST3K
Don't watch as much TV as I used to, and when I do, it's usually either cartoons, the History Channel, Discovery Science, or VH1 Classics. Also, my peak TV viewing times are something like 3am to 6am, and then, I usually pop in a DVD. Otherwise, all I watch is football, (Cincinnati, Green Bay, several college teams as well), soccer, (Manchester United), and NASCAR . . .
