Upon listening to the album I was immediately inspired to form a Brian Jonestown Massacre-themed cult and corresponding commune known as "Jonestowntown". After a period of three years working in back-breaking conditions in a serious of dead-end jobs, I poured all of my accrued savings into the project, which unfortunately was an abysmal failure for a number of reasons which I will not go into here - suffice it to say that my upfrontness about the community's compulsory suicide policy was not much of a selling point.
I regretfully turned to white collar crime and the financial markets in order to repay Jonestowntown's debts, which only made matters worse as a serious of increasingly risky financial gambles eroded what was left of the commune's finances. I was forced to dissolve Jonestowntown, declare myself bankrupt, and serve some jail time as well as 150 hours' community service, which I performed faithfully and to the best of my ability, with commendations from all but one of my supervisors.
The upshot of this is that I am barred from spending any money on BJM-related matters for the next eighty years or the duration of my natural life, whichever comes first. If any expenditure on BJM recordings, merchandise or performances is detected from one of my accounts, it will be considered a breech of my bail conditions and I will be thrown back in the slammer for a long time. Similarly I am banned from soliciting friends or acquaintances to buy BJM tickets or CDs on my behalf, for fear that I will “return to my former goal of brainwashing, defrauding and eventual mass murder”. However there is one loophole in my bail conditions, which is that I am able to accept BJM goods or services if I win them in competitions, a maximum of twice in every four-year cycle, if there is no monetary transaction involved on my part. To the best of my knowledge this competition meets these rigorous criteria.
The possibility of entering a competition such as this has kept me alive for the last seven years. Attending the gig in Christchurch, with the other ticket for my parole officer Harry, would be the culmination of my life’s journey for the past decade, and the finest pleasure imaginable for me. Indeed, I cannot help but suspect that winning this competition and attending this gig, is the very reason I was born. If you do not name me as your winner, the death of that noble emu all those years ago will have been in vain.
I am their biggest fan, and the best choice cause im choice
