| Somehow this 30 minute video biography of Jesco White, the "best" mountain dancer in West Virginia, manages to be simultaneously frightening, touching, and hilarious. Since originally airing on West Virginia public television, it's become something of a cult classic. "Jessie can be three people. He is Jessie, he is Jesco, and he is Elvis. Jessie is the most beautiful man that I could've ever loved. But Jesco... he is somebody else. He's the devil in hiself. Nothing satisfies him, he can't be happy, nothing you do for him makes him happy." - (Norma Gene White) "And I took the butcher knife and held it up to her neck. I said, 'If you want to live to see tomorrow, you better start frying them eggs a little bit better than what you've been frying them, and I'm tired of eating sloppy slimy eggs." - (Jesco White) | |
