Jason Frederick on Ricki Lake

Ladies and gentlemen, it has come to my attention that around 12 years ago, your friend and mine, principal singer and songwriter for Love Story in Blood Red and Cool Devices, Jason Wyatt Frederick, appeared on the Ricki Lake show. The topic of this show? Obese Strippers.

To actually receive an email that contains a link to an actual real video of someone you have known for years, who you have heard talk about strippers for years, on a national talk show addressing the topic of obese strippers is a joy I am guessing I will never have again.

Make sure to forward about 30 seconds into the video. The real magic happens when Jason’s disgruntled face appears in a small pink box (lower right) while his “friend” performs a spontaneous striptease for the Ricki Lake audience.

This is clearly an instance of the real life being more strangely beautiful than fiction could ever be.
