Shock and Awe...

So i consider myself a pretty big cKy fan. I have all the albums, most of the little eps, shirts, hats, stickers. Yeah I am a fan. However I never knew where the inspiration for the cover you see above came from until today.

Randomly surfing around I found the story of Budd Dwyer. The man that inspired this cover, because he killed himself on live TV by a gun shot to the head. I also found a link thru WiKi to the video of this event. Normally i would put the video on here so that everyone could check it out but not this one. It is very grafic and dusturbing. I have seen many things in my life. Thousand of random internet videos, as well as several animals killed either intentionally for sport or unintentionaly (car accidents..) but nothing compares to this. Its just amazing to me the mental state this man was in. To have the resolve to know that he not only was going to kill himself, but do it in front of potentionaly millions of people. He was oddly enough very calm and considerate of the others in the room. His last few words were "If this will offend anyone you will want to leave the room." then he warned reporters and others not to get close "this thing will hurt someone..." that was the last thing he would say before putting the barrell in his mouth and pulling the trigger.

If you are as morbidly curious about this as i was you can do the research and find the video on your own and watch it. I won't put it on this page b/c it is to grafic to put infront of people that aren't prepared to watch a man end his life so tragicly, and trust me when i say it is very disturbing. But I thought i needed to inform others of the story behind the cover.
