I saw this piece in the SP Times or Tampa Tribune a few days ago and did my best to ignore it, but now it’s been picked up by Drudge, VIllage Voice, and Rolling Stone, so here goes:
RollingStone.com: News: Florida Band to Stage Suicide
Florida industrial rockers Hell on Earth are planning to host an on-stage suicide during their October 4th show at St. Petersburg’s State Theater. A terminally ill member of a euthanasia society, whose identity and condition have not been revealed, intends to raise awareness for the cause of dying with dignity by committing suicide during the concert, according to the band’s singer, Billy Tourtelot.
Hopefully someone will organise a “suicide-palooza” to tidy-up our population!
