Sh!t! I was so busy making my freaakin’ point I forgot to mention it was a hoot to read! Great flow and language (love “rhythm and bluesmanity”) and a providing a jolt worthy of the lightning bolt that’s surely aiming your way!

The best thing to do when assualted by the righteousness of zealots is to ignore them, as long as they are not actually kicking the hell out of someone. We all know that religion is dying in America and many parts of the world, so I believe that the worst of the white knuckled bible-clutching is what’s called an “extinction burst.” Religion is no longer acknowledged, so it’s gonna get noisy while it accepts this. It’s just like when someone knocks gently at a door previously opened immediately and it stays shut: they knock harder, then harder. Then they pound, maybe scream, pound some more and give up.

I suggest that Mikey’s bizarre insinuation of the I-got-saved sermon into the rock-n-roll world (which is what’s really sacred here) is just one such example of an extinction burst. But it is much more unpalatable because it feels all backward! Usually the noisy outburst comes from the party who will soon cease their annoying behaviors and move on, and the peace and quiet of the sacred space is restored. In this case, it is, creepily, the reverse! Saccharine sweetie-ness is dripping (to sappy guitar accompaniment) into the holy rolling rock world. Not cool. So I am glad that you didn’t ignore 94.9’s transgression. Blasting the hell out of it was the only way to get some balance!

Ed, as Stacy Taylor said in recent email…”So far, the only one to re-surface is the un-listenable crypto-fascist Mike Esparza of the “Mikey Show” who, on his website, lists ” Collecting Bibles”, and “the New Testament”, along with “Cars!” among his hobbies.” Nuff said there for me to ever tune in to 94/9. The fact that our 1/2 of our country seems to be wanting to go back to the Dark Ages where everyone who doesn’t agree with them is put up on a rack and tortured scares the hell out of me. So I agree somewhat with you with the exception of it’s okay to lob “testiments” on a rock and roll show everyday. Leave that crap to the stations that carry Pat Boone and his ilk.

Hey, at least it’s not a Scientology testimonial. That would be too much to bear.

Thank you for coming to the rescue of those of us with enough brain power left to be offended by the absurd crap that he preaches.

Let’s all pray that one day,Mikey gets his nose out of the Bible and his head out of his ass and stops pushing this bullshit on those of us who have retained our sanity.

Damnit! I hate it when Jesus suborns rock & roll a.k.a. the devil’s playground. That’s evil with a capital E.

Decker, one day you will understand what it means to have Jesus in your life. And you will look back at this article and hang your head and shame. Might as well start now.

Once again you have chosen to offend rather than enlighten. Were you abused by the nuns in Catholic school or something, because you really seem to be holding on to a lot of hate there, Ed
