My first thought?
I want to attend one of those services.
Life is just profoundly awful in West Virginia. It's a series of trash-bag strewn roads (what dumping laws? what trash disposal service? not here, bub.), grey little Piggly-Wigglies (a grocery store chain), sad little shacks stacked with sad little kids right up to mossy rafters. All laid out in rusting ribbons between claustrophobic mountain passes.
And out of that profound misery is born rockabilly services and the need to try one's faith by direct confrontation with mortality.
Amazing.
Also, did anyone else notice whirling dervish guy in the black cowboy shirt (among other whirlers) in the second clip?

3. One possible mechanism by which this is accomplished is the mega-ritual.
The mega-ritual as I understand it:
