Al Qaeda and Al Green

Written by Al Barger
Published May 02, 2005

They say that you are what you eat, but just as much you are what you think about, what you let your mind run on.

Sananda Matreiya, the artist formerly known as Terence Trent D'Arby offers the following corollary bit of wisdom in his fan newsletter:

"Our times are out of balance and the proof is simple.
We spend far too much energy focusing on Al Qaeda, and not enough on Al Green!"

Nor do we spend enough energy focusing on Al Barger, but that's another issue. For that matter, we could spend more energy focusing on TTD. That'd work out good, too.

Unreformed hawkish Hoosier hillbilly and sometimes candidate Al Barger runs the still squeezin' down the psychodelic Kentucky moonshine at MoreThings.com, what with the paranoid religious visions and the Pentacostal music and visions of God and Sarah Palin and anarchy running amok and such. Somebody oughta call the cops to report his out of control freedom of conscience. Till they come to take him away somewhere where he can't hurt anyone else, you can check out his weekly column of NEW ALBUM RELEASES.

That there's what you call sacrilege Al.

Cool! I'm all in favor of sacrilege. Who exactly am I sacrilege-ing, though?

#3 — May 2, 2005 @ 08:23AM — Mark Saleski [URL]

is it worth checking out any TTD stuff after "Introducing the Hardline..."?

that'd the only one i've ever heard.

Mark, your life simply isn't complete if you don't have a copy of Vibrator. It's his best album. All of his stuff is worth hearing, but I'd particularly also recommend Symphony or Damn and Neither Fish Nor Flesh.

I note used CDs of some of these at Amazon for as little as 50 cents.

I'd have to say the right Rev,Mr.Barger.
