Dont think he was exactly mocking Jesus in the Chocolate Jesus song, more like the merchandising.

I remember going into a Christian bookstore one time and they had “Christian” breath mints at the counter. Kinda ridiculous.

I don't really get it.

I liked Tom Waits' contribution to Coppola's ill-fated One From The Heart, in which he sang the male voice (Crystal Gayle sang the female).

With some good old fashioned Gospel music we can clean up this thread, and keep that old Devil way down his hole.

I don't care much for the Five Blind Boys of Alabama since they performed with the sodomite and abortionist Paul Simon, an unrepentant leftist.

Far better, in my opinion, is that good old homespun genre of Southern Gospel Music. In fact, none other than Governor Sarah Palin has been a guest speaker at the National Quarter Convention in Louisville, kind of akin to the Super Bowl of Southern Gospel. I like most all Southern Gospel but one that I do especially like is the highly un-PC "Oh Buddah" by the Imperials. The lyrics say it all and kick sand in Old Scratch's eye:


Well, Old Buddha was a man and I'm sure that he meant well
But I pray for his disciples lest they wind up in hell
And I'm sure that old Mohammed thought he knew the way
But it won't be Hare Krishna we stand before on The Judgment Day.

No, it won't be old Buddha that's sitting on the throne
And it won't be old Mohammed that's calling us Home
And it won't be Hare Krishna that plays that trumpet tune
And we're going to see The Son not Reverend Moon!

Well, I don't hate anybody so please don't take me wrong
But there really is a message to this simple song
You see there's only one way Jesus if eternal life is your goal
Meditation of the mind won't save your soul.

No, it won't be old Buddha that's sitting on the throne
And it won't be old Mohammed that's calling us Home
And it won't be Hare Krishna that plays that trumpet tune
And we're going to see The Son, not Reverend Moon!

Well, you can call yourself a Baptist and not be born again
A Presbyterian or a Methodist and still die in your sin
You can even be Charismatic shout and dance and jump a pew
But if you hate your brother you won't be one of The Chosen Few.

Cause it won't be a Baptist that's sitting on The Throne
A Presbyterian or a Methodist that's calling us Home
And it won't be a Charismatic that plays that trumpet tune
So let's all just live for Jesus 'cause He's coming back real soon.

Sometimes performance transcends politics. In spite of some of his awful views, he also provided some useful insights into the human conditions.

To some extent, I can understand the point you're making and I'll confess to an inconsistency on my part. In spite of my affinity for Southern Gospel, I do also like some of the secular genre, notably old time, traditonal country music from performers such as Roy Acuff, Kitty Wells and Bill Grammer. Yet the latter performed in support of DemonRATs. In fact it was Grammer and his "Travel On" band that were on stage when DemonRAT George Wallace was shot by one of his fellow leftists in 1972. Another of my favorites was Minnie Pearl. In spite of her wholesome, good clean humor, she too was associated with the liberal Wallace when he ran for Alabama governor. So, admittedly, some of the performers that I like are flawed but, AFAIK, none of them were abortionists or homosexualists.

So yes, FRiend, I can see "where you're coming from" to borrow a term used by hippies. :)

Thanks for posting. I’ve enjoyed Waits’ music for nearly 30 years. In my view, his best work was done in the mid 70s to mid 80s (Closing Time through Rain Dogs), but there are some very good pieces among his later works, too.

And no, Waits is not a conservative. But he was influenced by conservative ideas and musicians whether he acknowledges it or not.

This Tom Waits character would be zotted in an instant if he dared to post his views here.

Which is why he doesn't post his views here.

However, his music is a different story.

If we had to apply a political litmus test to our music collections, we'd be left with Anita Bryant and maybe Donny Osmond, though I'm sure Freepers will dig up some dirt on him as well, such as being a Mitt Romney supporter.

Why that is, I don't know. But fact is, conservatives are not known for their musicianship. And please spare me the mentions of Ted Nugent, Gene Simmons and Hank Jr., et al. Those guys are caricatures and their musicianship is "sketchy".

I think Lee Greenwood is a very accomplished musician and is a Patriot. Similarly Ray Stevens fits that characterization as well. He's sold untold millions of records and absolutely despises the usurping Kenyan muzzie.

Do you also not listen to the Beatles, Wagner, Tchaikovsky?

I do like some of the pieces composed by from W.A. Mozart but his lifestyle was less than exemplary, to say the least. As for the Beatles, they came along after my tastes were formed and I never acquired an affinity for either their music or their tawdry manner of living.

So to get to the heart of it, I mostly confine myself to the happy, wholesome sound of Southern Gospel music, traditional church hymns and old-style country music. Yes, I do have to overlook and regretfully accept that some of my favorite C&W musicians sang at rallies for the liberal George C. Wallace of Alabama. I hope that they sincerely repented and found God's forgiveness for going astray.

I would say most worthwhile culture was created by people who’s manner of living was less than exemplary.

To a large extent, I respectfully disagree on this basis: sodomites, muzzies and abortionists have only destroyed the culture. And I'm hard-pressed to think of anything of value ever contributed by a DemonRAT.

On the other hand, I can see your point to some extent. General U.S. Grant's contributions were significant in spite of his lifestyle. Likewise, the boss and nearly all of we FReepers were all-in for Newt Gingrich's presidential aspirations in 2012. Congressman Gingrich was indeed an adulterer but he did find forgiveness by a Merciful God after his sincere repentance.

Yes, but still makes for a very small music collection.
