The big Tom Tuerff Resurgence is apparently on and I had no idea...
XM Satellite radio is playing old Dr. Demento shows, including some of the shows from '01 that I was on.
And Pab Sungenis,a guy in New Jersey with a syndicated, Demento-like show, recently played, of all things, "Infomercial Man." I think that's a first.
I don't even play that song anymore.
Plus, other sicko radio shows have been tossing one song or another on the air occasionally in the last six months.
Why am I even bothering to make another CD?
Oh that's right, people want it.
The only things standing in my way now are countless delays and a lack of money.
But it will come.
------
I'm not religious, but I appreciate good music even if it's religious. And I have a question.
Why does all modern white gospel music suck?
I love that fast, foot-stomping, black Baptist stuff. It has SOUL. They're HAPPY about it.
GRUFF SOUNDING CHORAL LEADER:
Sing OH MY SOUL!
OBEDIENT, WILDASS CLAPPIN' GOSPEL CHOIR:
OH MY SOUL
GRUFF SOUNDING CHORAL LEADER:

OBEDIENT, WILDASS CLAPPIN' GOSPEL CHOIR:

GRUFF SOUNDING CHORAL LEADER:
WHETHER YOU RICH
OBEDIENT, WILDASS CLAPPIN' GOSPEL CHOIR:
OH MY SOUL
GRUFF SOUNDING CHORAL LEADER:
OR ON THE DOLE
OBEDIENT, WILDASS CLAPPIN' GOSPEL CHOIR:
OH MY SOUL
GRUFF SOUNDING CHORAL LEADER:
JUST CLAP AND SING
OBEDIENT, WILDASS CLAPPIN' GOSPEL CHOIR:
OH MY SOUL
GRUFF SOUNDING CHORAL LEADER:
THIS SOULFUL WAY
OBEDIENT, WILDASS CLAPPIN' GOSPEL CHOIR:
OH MY SOUL
CHOIR AND LEADER:
AND WE MIGHT EVEN MENTION JESUS SOMETIME TODAY!
OBEDIENT, WILDASS CLAPPIN' GOSPEL CHOIR:
OH MY SOUL
White folks' gospel music is all guilt-ridden and they never sound like they're all that happy about finding salvation:
GOD-FEARING, WIMPY-SOUNDING, SOUTHERN WHITE BAPTIST FAMILY EXCUSE FOR A BAND:
(Plunka Plunka Plinka Plinka)
Oh, Lordy I love Jesus
Yes Indeed I do
Lordy I love Jesus
'Cause Preacher told me to
When I go to heaven
With Jesus I will sit
He'll teach me to think for myself
And we can chew 'n spit.
(Insert bad, guilt-ridden fiddle solo)
I think what it all boils down to is that for whatever reason most white people just don't know how to enjoy themselves. They're afraid to make noise. We've been programmed to believe that, whether we like it or not, everything enjoyable is bad.
In my own way though, I've tried to work through that. I've been a nudist since I was 13. I learned massage in college, I've kept up the hobby to this day and I make sure I get as well as give. As my music points out, I will make fun of just about anything that won't initiate a fatwa.
Life's too short to be uptight. If there are any uptight white Christian people reading this, CHANGE YOUR WAYS. NOW. Jesus doesn't want to spend eternity with a bunch of boring people. You just KNOW he's gonna hang out in the black neighborhood. The music will be better and the people will be more than willing to play it!
