Summary: "Kellerman's tragedy, illustrated."

Reactions/Reviews

"Losing My Religion" contains one of the niftiest climactic moments I've seen in a vid, and the story of Mike Kellerman's fall from grace is very easy to follow. The clips are dead-on and the flow of them is clean and just fast enough to keep you drawn in for the whole song.[1]

"Losing My Religion" (HOM) by Katherine and ?. My second favorite Homicide vid. What a perfect song for Mikey! The vid was technically fantastic; another emotionally evocative one. I ached for him at the same time that I was painfully aware of the fact that he'd brought about his own downfall. (What? Me, a Homicide fan? Nah.[2]
