Show Notes
Step right up, cult members and curious creeps—this week on Jackalope Tales, Charles and Lisa serve up a double dose of musical messiahs who didn’t just drink the Kool-Aid… they stirred it themselves.
Lisa dives deep into the desert-drenched delusion of 30 Seconds to Mars, where Jared Leto traded in eyeliner for enlightenment and accidentally became a shirtless space Jesus to an army of spiritually dehydrated fans. Camp Mars? More like Camp “Run While You Still Can.”
Meanwhile, Charles explores the mind-bending, gender-defying gospel of Genesis P-Orridge, the late high priest of industrial noise and body-melding chaos. From the psychic temple of Throbbing Gristle to the flesh-as-text manifesto of Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth, Genesis didn’t start a cult—they made one a lifestyle brand.
So dim the lights, light some incense (or whatever’s in that suspicious goblet), and join us for an episode that asks: when does fandom become faith… and when does faith start charging $299 for a VIP wristband? [EP 87]
