John Henry Timmis IV, the son of a wealthy family from Chicago's northern suburbs, was diagnosed a psychopath after a string of rebellious misdemeanors as a teenager--possession of marijuana, prostitution, and theft. Timmis frequented the Menninger Clinic between the ages of 15 and 17. He repeatedly ran away and got recaptured, was held in solitary for extended periods, and forced to endure excruciatingly dull group therapy sessions. He recounts these experiences with adolescent braggadocio, blurring intensely personal confessions and exaggerated fantasies, in hopes of mythologizing himself and claiming a spot in the canon of rebellious youth. Later in life, as JTIV, Timmis recorded sincere autobiographical songs in a style he deemed "Destructo-Rock," and was acknowledged in The Guinness Book of World Records for creating the longest film ever made, The Cure for Insomnia. He passed away in 2002, leaving us his songs, the film, and this document to piece together his wild and bizarre story.
