Caught the tail end of Storyville the other night about the Jonestown Massacre in Guyana back in 1977. Amazing television. 909 people "committed suicide" on the instruction of Jim Jones. Kids were given cyanide first, then the women then the men. Until now I'd never realised the enormity of what went on.
909 people. Fucking hell.
Meanwhile over on MTV we had America's Most Clever Model or something like that. Utterly pointless television.
What a ying-yang night it was.
