DOS & DON'TS

It’s hard to go wrong with rockabilly. The accessories are subdued and not tacky, the rules haven’t changed for 40 years, and you hardly ever run into any fat ones. Comments/Enlarge | See all


Everybody's got their dicks in a knot about Chinese bootleggers and how they're ruining our movies but I think they did a pretty good job with "Oh God!" Comments/Enlarge | See all

FATHER BEITING'S HOUSE



Photos Jerry Hsu
Father Ralph W. Beiting put the Vice staff up in his guesthouse while we were in Kentucky. He’s been trying to rescue Appalachia from poverty for 50 years now. He should change his name to Monsignor Sisyphus.


The Stations of the Cross were in his backyard next to a campfire.


Father Beiting has a veritable compound of volunteer workers who care so much about the place they’re from and the people who live there that it’s pretty much heartbreakingly touching. They are like missionaries, only they don’t have to fly to Africa.


There aren’t many Catholics in Kentucky, so spotting a Sacred Heart statue at a lawn-ornament store was a real revelation.
