    JFC is over most people's heads

    John from Cinncinnati is beyond the thought processes of most people, a sad statement on unevolved humanity. People who cannot see beyond their waking life and think that that is all there is to existence, will never get it. Here's hoping all their unconscious minds open up and gain some insight into life. I'm glad David Milch's did and tried to express something few people seem able to.

    I am not in any sense a huge fan of the show, but I do appreciate what he's trying to create within these confines.

    Anyone out there who watches the show and recognizes what is happening in it, and has a story to tell themselves which would be incredibly difficult to put into understandable language, it is good you are here.
