Just because The 15th Annual Gathering of Stabby Rapists invites you to play doesn't mean you should accept.

It's a pretty common ocurrence for audiences to express their discontent, especially at festivals. Artists get booed offstage, get mud thrown at them, perhaps some rotting fruit if people are feeling quaint and Old Worldesque. Throwing rocks that leave marks like those on Tila Tequila's face? Outside of, like, Hardcore Punk venues, you
really can't paint that as some sort of common ocurrence. If it was the music rags would be selling a lot better.
I'm also amused at seeing the collective idea of juggalos move from "harmless goofy retards" to "sinister knife wielding rapist menace" in this thread; weren0t these the guys who're really stoked about helicopter rides and the Tone Loc concert? Not saying ICP's fanbase ain't fucked up, but let's stop pretending Tequila went to a Hatebreed concert here.
