The Resemblance is Striking

He posted the below toon on his site without my permission, and seems to think the cartoon is about him, yet no where do I use his name or the name of his blog.

Local cartoonist Scott Ehrisman decided to feature me again today in a post titled Pastor Denial. At one point a few months ago some were suggesting he was infatuated with me - that kept him quiet for a couple months. I’m definately an enigma to him and his cartoon here reveals his confusion.

But it gets better, Mr. wipe his butt with the 1st and 14th Amendment calls himself a constitutionalist; I split my side reading that.

Ehrisman is all over the map on this one - I’m one who holds the Constitution in the highest regard - he’s the h8r, not me. But, whatever. 

I also enjoyed this comment, now he needs to judge people on the music they listen to and the band shirts they wear.

What do we expect from one whose favorite band has an CD called incesticide and he’s proud to have a t-shirt of the CD cover.

Steve, I’m no Kurt Cobain scholar, but I am assuming the word incesticide, something I’m sure Kurt made up, is a ANTI-INCEST statement. Just a wild guess. But I forgot, your type thinks it is okay for young girls to be subjected to having their sick rapist relative’s babies. Because hey, nothing like being forced to have the child of your uncle who raped you, because it is morrally the right thing to do.

I also enjoyed the comments of his Jim Jones like followers about me, very Christian like.

“ehrisman is just a bitter, lousy artist with nothing better to do.”

“I googled his name and NOTHING popped up, notta, zippo, zero. The guys an idiot, he’s got the talking points down, and he probably didn’t come up with that on his own either. Not to mention he’s got your hair parted down the wrong side and he calls himself an artist.”

“South DaCola is proof that the computer labs at middle schools are open extended hours.”

The collar and image is merely a form of symbolism, sorry you can’t see it, and sorry the pastor sybolism I used just happened to look like every other wacko-wannabe evangelist in this country.

Shouldn’t you be setting up shop in some small African country?

From the email box of boxes;

Hey Scott, I hope all is well. Just writing you to let you know that the

Rock Garden Tour (IE. Ted and Tom’s show) is going to go back on the air

starting Thursday (tomorrow) night - KAUR 89.1 8-10pm. I’m not sure if you

ever listened to the show, but I recall talking about with you so I thought

I’d send you a notice.

 

Listen to podcasts and what not at www.rockgardentour.com.

 

That’s all,

Ted

Famed Hendrix drummer, last surviving member of The Experience found dead

Ever have trouble putting a CD down? This is one of them.

Think Counting Crows “August and Everything after” gets in a car wreck with Lucinda Williams’ “Car Wheels . . ”

When FAILER first came out, I suspected that Kathleen would soon be the next Lucinda.

Listen to some samples here.

Think the MC5 meets Minor Threat or speeding up a Super Suckers album. This guy also has a great comparison;

An amazing CD from an amazing band, BUY IT NOW! Motorhead meets Black Flag head on 1000 miles an hour crash and burn rock and roll!

The record is only about 19 minutes long, but very unforgettable. Their live shows are as well. I was drinking Wild Turkey with the guitarist in the back room of the Pomp Room and he says to me, “Wild Turkey is a cure all. It will mend a broken heart and cure a cold.”

I’ll admit, I am not a death metal fan, but this is one of my favorite hardcore albums. I’ve seen them play twice at the Pomp Room, and they are a scary looking bunch.

Review by B. Schaefer

I’ve never bothered to write a review for a CD on Amazon before, partially because I’ve never had the ambition, but mostly because I know nobody will care what I have to say anyway. However in this instance I feel it is my civic duty to expound on the absolute brilliance of this collection of 14 songs.

I picked this disc up on a whim from a seedy, hole-in-the-wall record store about 6 or 7 years ago. I’d heard the name “Acid Bath” floating around and the J.W. Gacy artwork caught my eye as I thumbed through the metal bin. For 10 bucks, I figured, I might as well. I was 16 and had nothing better to spend my money on. Little did I know at the time I’d be making the most worthwhile music purchase of my life.

Anything I can say in an internet review of the content of this album is a travesty, and couldn’t come close to doing it justice. The only thing I can think to say is that I had never before and have never since heard a selection of music crafted so flawlessly (outside of Mozart). There is not a single low point, not a single moment throughout the course of this CD that I would even consider skipping or passing by.

Raw and polished, discordant and harmonious, When The Kite String Pops runs the gamut in all forms of sonic genius. It demands attention and respect from the listener (and a little chemical assistance doesn’t hurt), but the reward is an incredible musical experience. Completely flawless.

I can’t get this song out of my head - I think it is the reggae beat.

One of the first “cowpunk” bands, they mixed country twang with fast tempos and crunchy guitars.

I think the Scorchers played the Pomp Room twice? I did attend one of the shows. If you are a Rev. Horton Heat or ShackShakers fan, this album is worth picking up.
