Book coming about Phish & ICP?

I was at InsaneClownPosse.com just seeing if there was anything I missed, and an article popped up on the right side talking about a book that someone named Nathan Rabin is writing about Insane Clown Posse and Phish.  I imagine it’s gonna be a book comparing the 2 groups and their subcultures.  Surprisingly though, the author is very subjective about ICP. Here’s what was said:

I have spent much of the past two years researching and writing a book about Phish and Insane Clown Posse, but I didn’t actually begin listening to the latter’s music until fairly late in the process, in part because of the group’s reputation as the worst, most hated band in the world, a crime against music. So I was delighted and more than a little surprised to discover that while the duo is far from unimpeachable, its music is often extraordinarily fun. You might not imagine it from the “Miracles” video, but 99 percent of the time, the tunes of Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J are supposed to be funny. They’re definitely in on the joke, but their surreal, self-deprecating, distinctive music is also far catchier and more pop than their reputation suggests. There’s a reason Jack White wanted to work with the duo (and did, producing its single “Leck Mich Im Arsch”), and it’s not entirely out of perversity or musical masochism.

There are several other references in the article, none having to do with ICP.  You can see the whole article right here!

    I happen to like Phish and have a few of their albums. Both bands are VERY VERY different, but thats what makes music so awesome….the variety. I happen to be a HUGE Jimmy Buffett fan as well. Does that make me less of a Juggalo? Hell no! Everyone thinks Juggalos are so close minded when it comes to music but that is just a misconception. If you show clown love youre family to me.
