Twisted is a 57-minute documentary exhibited at the London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, held at the National Film Theatre, directed by DJ Stewart Who? and featuring DJ Wayne G (pictured left) and himself on a drug-fuelled frenzy across three continents to promote their drug-anthemic club tune Twisted. The documentary was filmed unscripted and merely features the two DJs unrelentingly drug-intoxicated and inebriated, gurning to camera. The mind-numbingly repetitive scenes reflect accurately the gay clubbing drug-addicted underclass for whom Wayne G and Stewart Who? are cultural icons, as promoted weekly in QX, the free bar magazine (print and online). The poster for the film features the two DJs thrusting a pill to camera and there were many requests for copies from film-goers.

The most chilling point in the film was when Wayne G talked about his anti-HIV medication, but this thread was speedily terminated. It was only remarked on by Paul Burston, in his Time Out review of the film festival, all other film reviewers ignored it.

Wayne G, as an openly HIV-positive gay man, may never have claimed to be the cultural club icon he is branded as by QX readers and clubbers, but his lifestyle represents a real, measurable and incalculable danger to the health and well-being of the gay clubber drug-addicted underclass, mainly late adolescents and twentysomethings, who may already be HIV-positive or are being placed at risk of being seriously and fatally immunocompromised by adapting Wayne G and Stewart Who?'s deadly lifestyle.

Stewart Who? is the son of a disciple of Osho (Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh), the Indian guru described as "Mr. 2-minute-fuck" by those unfortunate enough to have been coerced into tantric sex with him and who died of AIDS recently at 54. Children in Osho's communes were brought up unparented, neglected and semi-feral, with constant and open access to intoxicants and illegal drugs, and involved in paedophiliac sex even as pre-pubescents in these communes.

It says a great deal about the gay drug-addicted underclass in London that Twisted was the only film to have had an extra screening slotted in "by public demand" and that screenings were attended by the DJs fans who screeched their delight and hooted their recognition at every drug in-joke and reference made.

Twisted accurately represents the nightmare world of the "Live fast, die young, have a beautiful corpse" generations going back to Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison, to name but a few, and shockingly brings to life the Who's prophetic anthem "Hope I die before I get old".

It is simply not possible for gay men living with HIV, or at risk of infection, to live the way these two DJs and their fans do without incurring severe and possibly fatal consequences.

Hey, guys, don't try this at home!
