Says vocalist Travis Purcell:
“‘Kentucky Fried Strangulation’ is about the life and crimes of John Wayne Gacy. Gacy, who was diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder before his trial, was fueled towards a life of serial murder and rape, in part due to his father’s constant torture for acting too feminine as a child. This abuse and other mental impairments would lead Gacy to the murders of 33 young men from 1972-1978, disposing of their bodies in the crawl space of his suburban Chicago home.
“In the video, I play Pogo the clown, Gacy’s alter ego. I tried to represent a day in the life of Pogo, from his rope strangulation trick, to enjoying the delicious chicken he must have served up while managing three KFC restaurants.”
