On a Hunch, the Battle at the Isle of MAy might also be something you would find entertaining.

I love this documentary, I watch it anytime I'm feeling sad to be poor. Watching the rich kids fight over wet mattresses is *chef's kiss*.

So we can make sense of all this

What's up J shot?

Yeah it was barely even a music festival, nevermind a specific genre.

I'm not though? I didn't say "I don't understand why", I just think it's bullshit. I know how things work, it still upsets me.

Hard pass

Love him. I was going to just post a picture of him but the sub doesn’t allow pics 😤

Saw the Netflix one when it first came out and thought it was good. But with all the talk about this "Fuck Jerry", I now have to buckle in for the Hulu take!!!

Now you're just being an asshole. Literally compare how these two are scripted, if anything, IH had more details attached than the person who's just recounting the story off Wikipedia.

Internet Historian

DNYS

it was lost in the 60s. It may well have always been in the archives but it was filed away badly or mislabeled in a move or what have you.

Didn't they also highly encourage one of the managers (who was gay) to try and seduce one of the promotion people (who was a guy but not gay) so they can could something done?

It was founded by Rick Sanchez.

Oh wow. Sounds like quite an experience. I would definitely watch that documentary

this was the funniest shit, I remember those bologna sandwiches in styrofoam boxes

Who the hell named their company Fuck Jerry? Jerry himself, Jerry’s ex-wife?

When was this footage ever lost? It's always been available.

As I recall he had deep experience organizing events of this type. He knew it was going to implode but chose to stay on and do what he could to avert a worse disaster.

Nice catch!

Do these businesses not get money up front? I install irrigation systems and require 50 percent down in case they won't pay the rest, at least I'm not using MY money for the material. Some have no one to blame but themselves.

Embellish

• make (a statement or story) more interesting or entertaining by adding extra details, especially ones that are not true.

Your comment - “Just because IH does it in a comedic manner doesn’t mean it was inaccurate.”

Link not working for me

I was a I wouldn’t call myself an “organizer”, I was a freelance contract hire for the festival, I only worked days were patrons where on site. I was the overnight host in the highest price point VIP camping zone.

Yeah the Netflix doc seemed to seek to entirely absolve Fuck Jerry in the mess.

The Hulu doc introduces Fuck Jerry's position nicely for the unfamiliar.

>He makes up a ton of stuff for comedic affect.

The most he does is embellish details, but he never makes stuff up and when he does, he follows it up by clarifying it's a joke. He covers the sources and references in his other channel.
