      I doubt that...

      Anyone can pay a few dollars and fill out an application to Minister weddings in 49 states...

      It has absolutely nothing to do with the Lord...

        Of course it has nothing to do with the Lord... It's just a license to act on the behalf of the state to embroil unsuspecting victims into the most complex web of legal entanglement that will later feed the lords of tort law and fund their fancy cars and life style...

            So, if some people think religion is a conspiracy and others think government is mostly conspiracy, which one is more sane ??

              So? That old pic here he is wearing a cross around his neck. You don't suddenly take up the Lord at age 50. He has been religious his whole life. God is definitely on his side too. You don't pull the phenomenal pussy like he has looking like Alex without a little help from the man above.

              He is just so dang stuffy now. Started just before 1996. He acts like he is James Bond at the Monte Carlo impressing everyone with his wisdom, knowledge, maturity....and seems to dislike the fact that he is a rock star. Dammit Alex....LIGHT THE FUCKING GONG ON FIRE!!!!!!

                I've given up on both.

                But the one that hurts is the one that I really believed was on my side. It hurts a lot more getting stabbed in the back than being stabbed from the front.

                  Or the whole damn kit, as it was when the band would torch Al (see my avatar - what I am saying there is "don't try this at home, kids")

                    Me neither, let alone looking at an image of Reverend Neckbrace, then collapsing into a fit of uncontrollable laughter.

                      Part 1 & 2 of a tour damage report - I think this is '79. Alex really comes into his own at Shreveport (2nd page).





                      And ... before the days of sobriety and Reverendhood - rock on Big Al, one of the swingingest drummers in rock'n'roll ...

                          I am amazed at the guy's playing especially the accents during the verse.
                          CAREFUL there's an extraordinarily annoying glitch at the beginning of this clip.

                          Yeah, he slung a lot of shit at Dave but he is the king of heavy artillery.
                          I was blasting the tune Slam Dunk this morning and thinking about how different it would sound with an Alex groove.
                          (not taking anything from Ray of course, who's very talented)

                            He sure as hell has no idea how to play Outta Love Again on this tour...

                              I love the drums on VHII - but I think remember reading that Ed didn't think they got the sound the way he wanted it.

                              Sounds to me like the snare's got that 'tonk' ...
