There's a video going minor viral supposedly showing Haitians performing a baptism in a river.
This is an actual thing for MANY churches. Lake, river, ocean - pools and tubs. Immersion and open water baptisms are huge in Evangelical congregations. Like big special events.
It's all about the outrage, it doesn't even have to make sense anymore.
SAME DAMNED DAY!
It's apparently OK and 'Murican for white folks to go stand in FLOOD FUCKING WATERS FILLED WITH CHEMICALS and get DUNKED.
MY CULT IS BETTER THAN YOUR CULT CUZ (predominantly) WHITE PEEPLEZ
@InUnfunky @Cosmichomicide Red Fraüdster Cült with the hit Don’t Fear the Grifter.
Thinking more generally about culty needs and ignoring that hazmat-polluted rivers for “rites of purity,” etc are what these people are actually submerging themselves in but degrees not kind amirite?
The Lord created the potential for cellulitis and sepsis and lead poisoning too, I guess.
I'm sure they are all current on their tetanus and hepatitis vaccines...
(puts that joke about "the Lord sent a doctor to help you but you ignored them" HERE)

Speaking of BOC and other culty things...
Who remembers this non-hit (with a very silly '80s video, shocker) with Patti Smith-penned lyrics about "love" and dark obsession...?
And yes, that's "American Idol" Randy Jackson playing bass for some reason...🤷♂️
@InUnfunky @Cosmichomicide @CanisPundit @Bix @CinnamonGirlE @JoyfullyDazed
I say that is some bingo card !
@Mfieck @Cosmichomicide @CanisPundit @Bix @CinnamonGirlE @JoyfullyDazed
Heh, and how about that VERY ‘80s sax solo. Whew. 🙄🤓
BOC
Good Patti lyrics
Randy J bass
Ridiculous sax solo
Simmons drums probably
Ludicrous video (so cringe I couldn’t post)
1983
(shudders, shudders again)
And yet one of my fave BOC tunes.
🤷🏻♂️😎👍

1) Who's "Jeff"?
2) "Fine Girl" is the opening tune on "Tinseltown Rebellion," a live album culled from mostly the '79 and '80 tours. As FZ wrote in the liner notes -- "It is a studio cut, included so that conservative radio stations can play something on the air, thereby alerting people to the fact that this album exists."

Jeff is the owner of the guitar and the company Louderspeakers. I’m going to a party he is co-sponsoring with the guy who ran the guitar show I was at (former Hammer builder and music store owner). Those guys met a lot of people from the late 70s forward (renting gear etc.).

You were at a guitar show and now you're going to a party?
My my my...aren't you the man about town...😉 🤓
