Help Save Wal-mart from the Radical Homosexual Agenda!

Also, I haven't had time to give much attention to this project of late, but this must be recorded--being a post on the short film on Preacher with an Unknown God (short film, included with the cd) on a class blog for a Theology and Religion course. Though it took of bit of digging, I managed to discern that the course is at Biola, of all places, ( Read more... )

I'm not sure that when I gave in to my fascination with Rev. Billy--and decided thereby to make a project of his Church (as seems to be my wont with all such objects of special and personal interest over the years)--that I necessarily signed up to be an apologist for his ministry, though a recent anonymous comment (smileyface notwithstanding) has ( Read more... )

Rev. Billy and the Stop Shopping Gospel Choir return to the bay area next week--touring Mountain View, Sebastapol, Santa Cruz, Petaluma, and San FranciscoI will definitely be there for the SF show, and quite possibly some of the other appearances as well, so let me know if I should look for you. Local readers are encouraged to attend and perhaps ( Read more... )

More updates from the Shopocalypse Tour, including a 45-minute stand at the Mall of America (who knew the secret power of choir robes? pictures here). And an ( Read more... )

I got the feed for Rev. Billy's Stop Shopping Monitor updated this morning, after discovering they'd apparently moved the blog months ago without leaving word in the old one. Gar. Anyhow, this I discovered after receiving word elsewhere that the present Shopacalypse tour experienced a nasty accident yesterday. Most everyone, thank the gods, is ( Read more... )

The Revealer blogs Rev. Billy. As it's lead story no less.

Arriving in camp just in time for Juke's barbecued pork. Heaven!

Rev Billy's memorial & "come-to-jesus" for New Orleans at the Temple late Sunday afternoon. While waiting and wandering there for a time with SP, we talked briefly with a man--who truth be told came across as an old hippy-sort whose brains cells had seen better days--who said that ( Read more... )
