WHAT WOULD JESUS BUY?
Morgan "Super Size Me" Spurlock's newest
documentary is coming OUT this FRIDAY, and I don't
mean in a gay way. I mean, in a Cinema Village way.
The documentary, entitled, "What Would Jesus
Buy?" stars Reverend Billy and the Church of
Stop Shopping Choir as they travel across the USA
to save the multitudes of thick, fat Americans from
the commercialization of Christmas. I am very excited
and proud to say that I wrote a few of the songs featured
in this film. You can hear them during the Christmas
Caroling scene in the movie, when the Stop Shopping
Choir goes door to door singing lyrics that I penned!
It's a terrific scene and very funny. I do encourage
you all to go and see the film THIS FRIDAY, Nov. 16th.
There will be a special Q & A after the 7:05 and
the 9:20 PM showings where Morgan Spurlock and Reverend
Billy will be on hand to hand-resolve all your pressing
concerns and inquiries.
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16

Hello from Hotlanta!
Well you're not the only one that
can mingle with the politicos(sp.) I attended The
Power Lunch sponsered by Neal Boortz(yes co-author,
Fair Tax) Congressman John Linder, and Former Speaker
Newt Gingrich. No pictures but shook hands. You may
not buy into all Newt has to say, but the man is brilliant.
08/17/07 - Delfino Checks In From The
UK:
Things are going okay.
I should be updating my blog, but I'm very busy, going
to see lots of shows and hanging out with friends, plus
I've been staying up really late most nights and then
sleeping in!
I got some really decent
reviews and good press. I got one awful review by a
passionate feminist lesbian and two and a half really
good reviews!
Here they are for ya:
In "List":
“Dirty but clever,
shocking but sweet, sassy New Yorker Delfino dances
a very funny line between girly and filthy with Songs
About Vaginas. We are treated to sunny songs including
"My Pussy Is Magic" but rather than smut for
the sake of it, she uses her front bottom songbook to
deal with emotionally charged break ups, inhibitions
and unemployment. Her deadpan style lets her get away
with murder.”
In "Three Weeks":
“Listening to Jessica
Delfino in action is just like going down a deep, dark,
disgusting hole with a smile. But only a smile, because
this is amusing and winsome rather than laugh out loud
funny -- although she does have her moments. But enough
cheap innuendo, because Miss Delfino is way past euphemisms.
It's hard to be offended by someone who sings with her
bizarre brand of manic innocence. And if you are offended...well
what exactly were you expecting? I get the feeling that
ladies may appreciate her loopy, but strangely knowing
observations more -- since many men will most likely
settle for the cheap titillation value. It's disgusting,
it's dirty and deep down, it's what you really, really
want.”
Here's the bad review,
from "The Scotsman":
“I didn't just want
a drink when I left this irritating little show, I wanted
a radical hysterectomy. "If my vagina could talk,
it would call your dick an asshole" trills the
most compelling advert for Sharia law I have ever seen.
When you see the horrors it can lead to, you realize
estrogen should be a Class A drug.”

Hey there,
I will give you some slack only if the other books
you've yet to finish are not"O'Bama My Way",
or the Clinton Biograhies. I know I am beating this
horse to a pulp, but momentum for the Fair Tax continues
to grow. There will be a rally on 8/11 in Iowa, same
time as the Iowas Straw poll,afterwards a Q&A
with some of the canadates.
Also, I wanted to tell you the program I mentioned
for Pate is a state program. Love state programs.
It's called the HIPP program. Health Insurance Payment
Premium. It helps families that would not ordinarily
qualify for Medicad but could have additional issues
due to their children with special needs.

Things are going really well here. The festival in
Dublin was terrific. I met all these really well known
and reputable and talented comedians and had so much
fun. I sold a bunch of underwear and made tons of
new fans. I was on the Russell Brand radio show, he's
like the Howard Stern of London. I was kind of nervous,
actually. But was on the show! Out to about 2 million
listeners on the BBC!!

Dear Jessica, Loudmouth, and anyone else
who cares to listen
Kudos folks----especially you Jessica.
Way to raise the bar in comedy and put yourself out
there for the worlds scrutiny. With a silver tongue
and a plastic spork you will eat the hearts of men---and
when you've got em by the heart----their minds and balls
will follow.
I remain perpetually impressed and eagerly
await for you to release whatever it is youre working
on these days.
with much fan-love and man-glove!

I visited your web sight and listened
to Jessy Delfino's song. It was very good and I wasn't
at all offended. Actually her message nailed it. She
reminds me of Joan B or Joni Mitichell. Two artists
I used to listen to all the time in college. I'll be
in Nashville this week. Another city with a rich music
scene. I'm not a huge Country Western fan but I love
the Blues and they have some great clubs.
It was very nice to meet you. I do love talking politics
and as we both agreed, so many people have zoned out.
Wouldn't it be nice if as many of us discussed the state
of affairs in this country as much as American Idol.
I read your blog and agree "Greening of America"
is good if it brings on concrete solutions and doesn't
become a political tool leading to bigger government.
My concern is our freedoms that are being attacked on
a daily basis. We are in a war we need to win and people
need to recognize this. My conservative nature makes
me more of a pragmatist and I think the one thing that
would put this country back on the right track is true
tax reform. That sounds basic but the ramifications
would be huge. Read the "Fair Tax" and see
what you think. If you are serious about entering politics
this is something that people, Democract and Republican
alike, could get behind. Well there I go again. I could
go on and on but I have probably put you to sleep by
now.

Yes but, on that same show Bill Maher
posed this question: If contributing to the health of
the environment meant we all had to give up our remotes
and get off our asses each time we wanted to change
the channel, would we do it (I'm papaphrasing here)?
Hmmmm. I think that might encourage reading.

I want to kick this off by saying that anyone who has
something to say should write us and say it. We’d
like this to be as interactive as possible. The object
is to include as many different points of view as are
offered. Send us an email (we’ll add it). From
time to time you’ll see LOUDMOUTH artists and
friends of LOUDMOUTH (FOLs?), weighing in as well. Music
or politics, it doesn’t matter. If you feel strongly
about something, let us know.
While channel
surfing and thinking about a worthy first entry for
this Blog, I happened to catch Bill Maher’s show.
He and former Senator Bill Bradley were talking about
“big ideas” and Maher was saying that he
didn’t think America “had the chops”
to do big things anymore. Dollar Bill (looking a tad
irritated), immediately disagreed citing the Moon landing
and civil rights advances, to which Maher replied: “Forty
years ago, Bill.” It got me thinking about whether
an American could really give up on America. It also
got me thinking about what the next “big thing”
might be. Almost on cue, it popped up one morning in
the Sunday New York Times magazine in an article by
Tom Friedman titled: The Power Of Green. (Read it, if
you get a chance). Actually, it’s popping up all
over the place: The “Greening” of America.
From Silicon Valley, where the hottest new venture capital
opportunities can be found in start-up alternative energy
companies, to here in New York with PLENTY magazine’s
PLENTY TWENTY Green companies that are gonna change
the world. And everything in between, such as Willie
Nelson’s BioWillie brand bio-diesel fuel (creating
a possible future dilemma for the guy, as to whether
to smoke it or put it in his gas tank), and a small
company that sells an attachment that allows your diesel
engine to run on chicken grease! Who says we’re
out of big ideas? America will innovate as spectacularly
as it ever has, and these are the next big things we
are gonna do. To paraphrase Tom Friedman: the new red,
white & blue is Green.
