Mister Sandman, bring me a dream.
Make her the cutest that Ive ever seen.
Give her two lips like roses in clover.
Then tell her that her lonesome nights are over.
Its ironic how this song, which was most notable in the movie Back To The Future, mimics the reality behind the reality TV show called The Devils Ride.
Im referring to Robert Joseph Sandman Johnston, a member of the Laughing Devils MC and one of the more popular characters on the reality TV series. He was arrested for attempted murder after allegedly stabbing a man during a burglary just prior to Christmas.
There is some speculation (HERE) that Mister Sandman wanted to surprise his ex-wife? SATIRE ALERT with a belated Christmas gift. After realizing that hed misplaced the house keys he let himself in and then discovered another man in the bedroom, and became concerned
came to her defense by stabbing the assailant three times in the back. The police somehow misunderstood his good intentions.
Im sure the show producers are salivating over all the possible plot twists for a second season. This is all just another sad chapter of reality TV salacious, exploitative, celebratory violence, abusive and predatory behavior not to mention an extraordinarily colorful life of a motorcycle club member. Not only do we have to turn the channel to avoid the vast wasteland called The Devils Ride, we have to endure nit wits like Kim Kardashian and Jessica Simpson, uneducated goofs who are followed around, their every activity plastered on magazines and online, whove got nothing to say. Theyre not entertainers, and to keep it real there isnt much reality in reality TV.
And before you fire-up the keyboard to tell me that I dont get The Devils Ride or am stupid or there is something inferior about me or Im just not as far out there on the motorcycle outlaw frontier as Sandman is
Keep in mind that The Devils Ride is the creation of the Santa Monica production company Bischoff-Hervey Entertainment and that show producer, Eric Bischoff is the author of the acclaimed memoir Controversy Creates Cash.
There are a number of things I am looking forward to in 2013 and high on that list is that The Devils Ride implodes and gets cancelled.

Better to have a sister in a crack house than a brother in the Laffin Devils alleged motorcycle club. Just another unreal "reality" show.
