Joe Bob Briggs: Dead in Concert

Controversial drive-in movie critic Joe Bob Briggs, whose real name is John Bloom, created the Briggs persona in a weekly column in the Dallas Times Herald starting in 1982. Joe Bob's outrageous comments and national circulation quickly made him an American cult hero. In April, 1985, Joe Bob's column was banned in Dallas and Bloom resigned from the newspaper a few days later. During his three-year tenure at the newspaper, Joe Bob's good ol' boy redneck reviewer style got protest mail from feminists about his bimbo jokes, angry letters when he organized Drunks Against Mad Mothers (DAMM) and, on one fateful day, managed to outrage the Dallas black community with his version of "We Are the World," titled "We Are the Weird". But Joe Bob's comments were pretty democratic. He doesn't know the meaning of "sacred cows". "To say Joe Bob is sexist is too limiting," says Bloom. "He puts down everything." On his first home video program, Joe Bob presents a number of Briggs classics, such as "Drive-In Oath," "The Baptists," "Two Sisters from Memphis," "Looking for a Wife," and his inimitable "we Are the Weird". Finally, the whole country will have a chance to see and hear what they've been reading about. Joe Bob Briggs maybe be banned in Dallas, but he's alive and well - and untamed - at United Home Video.
