Pat Robertson - It's Time to Pray, America!

Pat Robertson - It's Time to Pray, America!

LP released in 1976

This LP is a recording of a Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) program broadcast simultaneously on television and radio on September 17, 1976. 1976 was the year of the bicentennial of America by the way. This program "urged Americans to seek God's forgiveness and ask His mercy and favor." It was hosted by Pat Robertson and boasted a guest lineup that could be considered impressive at the time of broadcast. There are some familiar names and some names that may not be familiar.

These folks include: President Gerald R. Ford, Ford's successor Jimmy Carter, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin, Pat Boone, Johnny Cash, Billy Graham, Dallas Cowboys head coach Tom Landry, Cathedral of Tomorrow pastor Rex Humbard, former Nixon henchman now theocrat Charles Colson, Olympic medal winner Janet Lynn, Church on The Way pastor Jack Hayford, author/evangelist David Wilkerson, and more.

This show warned that the citizens of America at the time were not religious enough, prostitution, porno sex shops and massage parlors were rampant, housewives were running away from home which by the way the number of this group running away was larger than teenagers. Oh, the horror! Thank goodness America is now praying and praising the supreme being, not making a pact with the Devil. Otherwise, America would already be destroyed by an earthquake or other natural disaster at least according to the sage Pat Robertson. Thanks to Pat, this show may have saved America from natural disasters. America has also been blessed with daily airings of The 700 Club with Pat's exploitations of just about every tragedy, self-promotion, diversion of hurricanes, and other crazy proclamations.

Dr. James Dobson - New Age, Humanism and Satanism: Protecting Your Family

Dr. James Dobson - New Age, Humanism and Satanism: Protecting Your Family

This is a 2-tape set released in 1991 by Christian fundamentalist and famly psychologist Dr. James Dobson and his merry band Focus on the Family. The material on the tapes were from the Focus on the Family radio broadcast. The first tape is a panel discussion headed by Dobson. The rest of the panel include Frank Peretti, who seems to be a Christian version of Stephen King and author of what is considered the notable Christian horror fiction novel, This Present Darkness among others, Dr. Fred Dickason who was a faculty member at the Moody Bible Institute and an expert in demon possession and angeloogy, Steve Russo, an evangelist and the featured attraction of tortuous school assemblies, and Sal Dena, a private investigator who specializes in spiritual warfare and crimes revolving around Satanism and the occult. The discussion is basically about how satanism is vying for the hearts and minds of America's youth in tandem with the other "evil philosophies" humanism and the new age. So, those who engage in free thinking, scientific inquiry, compassion and just plain secular are really doing the work of the devil. Got it. Thanks panel. These folks also offer equip listeners "with the key strategies and tools we all need to combat Satan in today's world." Gotta protect families from other belief systems and the possibility that humans can lead virtuous lives without believing in supernatural entities.

The second tape is a lecture by Frank Peretti. He "shares - with delightful humor and creativity - how man's quest for personal power has led society to embrace 'moral relativism' and the dangerous belief that man himself is a god. An insightful look at man's search for truth, this is a presentation you won't forget!" Believe me, you won't forget this presentation, but for probably different reasons other than what is intended by Peretti.

Focus on the Family was based in Pomona, California, when this set came out. In 1993, the organization moved to what became the epicenter of fundamentalist Christianity, Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Brian Ruud - From a Bum Trip to... "The Trip Beyond"

Brian Ruud - From a Bum Trip to... "The Trip Beyond"

Brian Ruud is a preacher from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada who grew up as a son of a preacher. Brian Ruud had a rebellious streak. On this LP loaded with references to drug experiences, Brian tells his story of where he came from and how he came to be the person he is today. He was basically a juvenille delinquent during most of his childhood and teenage years who was involved in robbery, violence, drug dealing and, of course, drug use. His father also had a penchant for corporal punishment. Brian was on what is called a "bum trip." He lost a lost of weight from drug abuse and felt a lot of self-hatred. Brian ended up in Prince Albert Penitentiary, what is reputed to be the San Quentin of Canadian prisons. Brian was put in solitary confinement and there he says he discovered "the trip beyond", an experience that changed his life.

One gets the impression that this LP was recorded in front of a live audience with the sounds of applause and laughter appearing. I find it odd that the audience occasionally starts laughing at inappropriate moments in Brian's lecture or rather the sounds of laughter are cued at inappropriate moments. I confess that I did laugh at a couple of Brian's "jokes", both of them about acts of theft. It sounds to me that there was no live audience present when Brian spoke, just sounds generated in a studio where Brian recorded this album.

Brian Ruud is still preaching, warning people about the dangers of drugs. He also still somewhat has his blonde afro. Besides preaching, Brian Ruud is a motivational speaker and consultant according to his website.

The album is entertaining and even inspiring enough that listeners will want to go from a bum trip to the trip beyond.

John Cook - And God Gave Me a Fix: The John Cook Story

John Cook - And God Gave Me a Fix: The John Cook Story

John Cook was not always an evangelist. He used to be an actor who went by the name Sonny Austin. He mainly had bit parts and he was also a stuntman. He was on the receiving end of John Wayne and Lee Marvin fight scenes as John tells the audience. When he was not doing his day job, John was living a life doing drugs, drinking, smoking, partying, carrousing around and getting into real fights (none involved John Wayne or Lee Marvin). In other words, he lived the life of a sinner. John did just about anything that was available to get high including sniffing glue, smoking marijuana, and injecting dope.

The drugs and the Hollywood lifestyle started to take a toll on John who had everything including jewels, Cadillacs, tailor-made suits, beautiful women, swimming pools, etc. Before he decided to leave Hollywood for the slower environs of Missouri, John was involved in a terrible family tragedy. He also attempted to cut his wrists. Eventually he departed Hollywood suffering the effects of heavy drug and alcohol use, but stopped in northwestern Oklahoma. This is where he handcuffed himself to his bed so he could go turkey and kick his drug habit. He did that and became a Christian.

He ended up in Oklahoma City. John does not say how he ended up there. Apparently when this record came out, John Cook was on the circuit preaching against the evils of drugs, drinking and smoking as well as telling audiences what a horrible person he was. I'm sure that John scared the bejeezus out of the youth in attendance. I would have been. In fact, on a couple of occasions as a child, I went to hear preachers speak who mostly screamed and ranted about every 15 seconds about the sins of the world. I was frightened enough not to do anything deemed wrong. I think I was more afraid of incurring the wrath of those preachers than of God. These preachers were much more intimidating than John although this record did bring back memories.

This LP was released by C.R.S. Records in Oklahoma City.

Bob Harrington - Holy Happy Hour

Bob Harrington - Holy Happy Hour

Bob is a hero. Not just any plain hero. He is a holy hero. He tried to save souls in the modern version of Sodom and Gomorrah. He tried to purge wickedness from the place, but he couldn't get it done. It's still a decadent place full of drinking, strip clubs, partying, not to mention girls flashing their breasts at passersby. There is no doubt that the place is decadent when there have been several volumes of Girls Gone Wild videos filmed in the place. Oh, by the way, Mardi Gras is just around the corner. More info about the holy hero from the liner notes:

BOB HARRINGTON - HOLY HERO. Ours is an age without heroes. And, when we say this, we suddenly realize how spectacularly the world has changed in a short time. Most of us grew up in a time of towering personalities. For better or for worse, great men seemed to dominate our lives and shape our destiny. Many of these, though already dead, still influence our existence.

This century [20th century] has known such as Churchill, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, the Roosevelts and Kennedys, Einstein and Freud. Some of these great men influenced the world for good, others for evil; but whether for good or for evil, the fact that each had not died at birth made a difference to every one who lived after them. [I don't know about you all, but I wouldn't go far to call Hitler and Stalin great men.]

Today no one strides our narrow world like a colossus; we have no giants who play roles which we can imagine no one else playing in their stead. Before he died, Charles De Gaulle remarked, "The age of giants is over." Recently, another exclaimed, "The century of the common man has come into its own."

Like a refreshing rain, a man has walked on the scene with his face to the wind - God's Man: God's Holy Hero - Bob Harrington. In this man from Bourbon Street one senses strains of a Daniel Boone or a Sam Houston coupled with portions of John the Baptist, Elijah, and Daniel. [Thank you lord!]

Why is it, many have asked, that Bob Harrington is attracting such unique attention? The answer is simple. Like great men of the past, Bob Harrington believes that man is meant to change history and not be determined by it. He introduces extremes in both joy and judgment. He tells it like it is and lives like he tells it - straight from the shoulder.
...
Bob Harrington does not shrink from the role of God's Holy Hero because he believes that a bland society will never be creative. "I want my boldness to be looked upon as eccentric to an unsaved society like America. We have considered the sub-normal in the search for right to be normal for so long that the normal holy righteousness of Jesus Christ appears abnormal. That's fine with me. Other men may say follow my plan or my words. I'm saying 'Follow me.' And those mothers' sons and dads who do will find who the real hero is - Jesus!" [What Bob is not a real hero after all? The liner notes further down sure mention that he is still a Holy Hero.]
...
And so Bob Harrington makes no pretense that he is out to claim the position of Holy Hero in the hearts of Americans today, young and old. He says, 'Which of us hasn't gained strength from the wisdom of Socrates, the creativity of Shakespeare, from the courage of Washington, the compassion of Lincoln, and above all, from the life and death of Jesus?"

And so we thank God for the Chaplain of Bourbon Street, God's Holy Hero. We are glad that he has determined to be God's great man, for in the words of Emerson, "Great men exist that there may be greater men." Bob Harrington strides toward greatness as God's man so there may be an army of God's men to follow.

Yes, Bob was a great man in the footsteps of Churchill, Einstein, Kennedy. But not even Bob was able to turn Bourbon Street into a center of holiness as today there may be more boobies flashed than ever.

Cecil Todd - Blueprint for Slavery

Cecil Todd - Blueprint for Slavery [book]

Cecil says that sex, sports and not sharing his beliefs in God is all part of a master plan to cause people in America and all over the world to become slaves to atheist communists. Despite people becoming more obsessed with sex and sports, the evil atheist commies have become nearly extinct over time and freedom prevails (or does it). The remaining commies are probably hiding in a cave somewhere with Osama Bin Laden. At least, Cecil's paranoid fantasies make for some interesting reading.

This message in the book is also available on LP. I don't have this LP since I'm not as cool as I think I am. Someday I promise to have the LP to share with you. This LP is advertised on the back of the booklet. The same description of the LP also applies to this book.

It contains the God-less "blueprint" of the communists to enslave America and the world - the naked truth of who is behind the race riots, demonstrations, civil disorders, labor strikes, revolutions, the "God-Is-Dead" movement, etc!!!!!!!

Thousands have flocked to hear this message in rallies from Phoenix, Arizona, all the way to Savannah, Georgia. Now -here it is, for the first time on record!!! IT WILL JAR YOU TO YOUR TOES! You'll find out why atheist Madalyn Murray didn't like it!

Order it for church services, class meetings, missionary meetings, freedom academies, radio broadcasts, and your own personal use. Order extra copies for your friends.

Vince Hatfield - George Bush for Our USA

Vince Hatfield - George Bush for Our USA [single track]

Today is the big day. A new era begins. The often misunderestimated George "Dubya" Bush is no longer the president. I'm sure that today will be a sad day for a lot of people especially for those here in Oklahoma and the few other states that voted for Sarah Palin. Since Sarah Palin lost, oops I mean John McCain lost the election, God will no longer have a place in the Oval Office. The White House also will no longer be occupied by a regular guy with whom you want to have a beer with. Now America will look forward to having communism/socialism, devil worship, free love, and worst of all, intellectualism ushered in the consciousness of American society.

I was going to post the Bushisms collection that is a compilation of audio clips where former President GWB articulates his ideas and policies on various topics, but it's not on my laptop. I'm out of town at the moment. However, I did find this gem on my laptop. Vince Hatfield's song was found somewhere on the webs several years ago. Vince wrote this song in 2000 while driving from home to his oil producing business. Sometime after God's president was given the keys to the White House, Vince performed the song at Bush's going away party in Midland, Texas. As Vince sings, indeed Bush has made the world proud of the USA. While listening to this tune, people can look back fondly on the last eight years as Bush has brought back morality and families. Surely, the wonderful man of values and character would not lie about engaging in war of aggression against another country much less committing the act of attacking another country in the first place and putting America into a massive deficit as a result. Now tears will flow because George Bush will no longer lead on.

Dr. Frank Garlock - The Morality of Music

Dr. Frank Garlock - The Morality of Music

Recently, fellow Basement dweller, The Basement Rug, left me a comment letting me know that he posted minister Frank Garlock's LP The Big Beat: A Rock Blast. Overall, Garlock tells us that rock 'n' roll is evil. I suppose that he arrived at his conclusion since he has claimed to have listened to more than 2000 rock songs in a single week. I do wonder if Garlock has a personal struggle with himself in that deep down he really loves rock 'n' roll, but he can't fully accept himself maybe because he had a strict religious upbringing. He feels that he must suppress his love of rock 'n' roll because he fears being ostracized from God and his fellow fundamental Christians.

A year after The Big Beat was posted, The Basement Rug posted a mix called the Frank Garlock Remix Project that features snippets from The Big Beat and some notable rock 'n' roll songs that involve spiritual themes.

Recently, Dr. Frank Garlock (yup, he's a doctor now) has returned to lecturing about that evil music. Obviously, he still has trouble accepting himself. Dr. Garlock had a two-part (two-day) lecture called "The Morality of Music" at Bob Jones University, the place where interracial dating, dancing and smooching is still not allowed. Dr. Frank has learned that evil rock music has planted itself in Christian culture in the form of CCM (Contemporary Christian Music). This lecture is available on some website, but you have to give your e-mail address before you can download anything. You'll be receiving e-mail often from the folks behind that website. I'm sure that you have to deal with plenty of unwanted e-mail everyday such as for penis enlargement and from people in foreign countries asking if you can hold their money in your bank account. Since I'm a nice guy, I'll save you the burden of dealing with additional unwanted e-mail and provide a separate link for Dr. Frank's important lecture. The files are low quality as that is how they were posted, but you should be grateful anyway that you can save yourself from CCM.

D. Howard King and Geoffrey Morris - Rush to Us [book]

D. Howard King and Geoffrey Morris - Rush to Us

*I'm sure that American visitors to this blog will already know at least most of the information presented below, but the information is for the benefit of visitors outside the US who may or may not be familiar with Rush Limbaugh, the subject of this book.
Rush Limbaugh is a radio talk show host and political commentator here in the US who has a nationally distributed radio program currently in its 20th year. Rush rose to prominence and popularity as perhaps the most listened to radio personality in the early 1990s. Rush also had two books that were on top of the bestseller lists for quite some time as well as having a highly rated late night TV show.
This book, which was published in 1994, is about the effect that Rush had on people when they started listening to Rush on the radio. For example, some restaurant owners (who were also "dittoheads", i.e. Rush fans) were inspired to set aside some of their restaurant's space to piping in Rush's radio program. These spaces were called Rush Rooms. These Rush Rooms popped up all over the country even showing up in chain eateries such as Arby's and Hooters. According to the book, people came in droves towards Rush Rooms to dine and listen to Rush. At the present, Rush Rooms have disappeared and are somewhat forgotten about.
People from all walks of life give testimony basically saying that Rush is a wonderful, funny, intelligent and knowledgeable man and a great host who makes it easier for people to understand complex economic and political issues. Rush has made their lives more meaningful. These people also devote their lives to listening to Rush and savoring every word he says and making sure that Rush is everywhere while bombarding radio and TV stations who dare to take Rush off their air as well as getting in the faces of anyone else who dares to boycott any products endorsed by Rush such as Florida orange juice.
Rush's popularity can be attributed to the fact that a significant amount of the American populace hold conservative/right wing views and felt that they and their viewpoints were being persecuted by the so-called liberal media (which is really just mainstream and well known media publications and the national TV networks who usually tried to present balanced and unbiased journalism) and supposedly elite educated and sophisticated people who happen to live either on the west or the east coast (actually concentrated in New York and Los Angeles). Along came Rush on the radio to give some people a representation of a right wing perspective that was supposedly absent from the media.
At a time when America seemingly was becoming more progressive and more enlightened, Rush made it cool to make fun of marginalized groups of people such as the homeless, the poor, homosexuals, minorities, even women who fight for equal rights and making fun of these people under the guise of standing up for morality, decency, honesty, hard work and common sense. In other words, he made it acceptable to pick on the little guy. Of course, Rush also put down people who held centrist and leftist views. As depicted in the book, Rush fans point out that Rush made them feel good about themselves. That means that Rush fans are given validation in their belief that they are superior to other certain groups of people.
Rush Limbaugh was instrumental in radio stations accepting distribution of right wing talk radio shows which is mainly hatred toward people with different viewpoints and lies about these people. He was also both directly and indirectly instrumental in helping right wing politicians get elected to office to enact stupid and harmful policies which for instance has caused the US economy to falter.
Rush will be considered one of the greatest radio talk show hosts of all time. Actually Rush should be considered one of the greatest propagandists of all time instead.

From the back cover:

"Now that I've retired from active politics, I don't mind that you have become the Number One voice for conservatism in our country." - Ronald Reagan

Twenty million people a week tune into his #1 radio program. His late-night television talk show is ranked third in the nation. He is a mega-bestselling author and the people's choice for President in 1996.

He is Rush Limbaugh. Humorist. Crusader. Patriot. Daringly frank, often funny, frequently profound. And always an American first.

From P.J. O'Rourke and William F. Buckley, Jr. to Pat Sajak and Charles Barkley, from small town farmers and business owners to corporate executives and political leaders, here, for the first time Limbaugh's countless fans speak out about the man who has captured the heart and soul of our country.

Filled with outrageous quips and unforgettable anecdotes - including quotes from favorite guest hosts Mary Matalin, Walter Williams, and B-1 Bob Dornan - RUSH TO US is as fascinating and controversial as Limbaugh himself...an inspirational tribute to the man who has become the voice of America.

Bob Harrington - Chaplain of Bourbon Street

Bob Harrington - Chaplain of Bourbon Street

"Chaplain of Bourbon Street" was a title given to "Bro. Bob" Harrington by the then mayor of New Orleans, Louisiana. Bob was more than willing to go to that sinful and decadent place to save those sinners who inhabited the place. Bob even gave sermons in strip clubs.
On this record, Bob comes off as an affable guy and tells humourous anecdotes while preaching. All of the tracks have music at the end.
Read an interview with Bob that took place in 2000 that tells about Bob's rise and fall and his comeback from his fall.

Texe Marrs - Big Sister is Watching You [book cover]

Hillary Clinton, widely considered the favorite, has lost the nomination to Barack Obama to represent the Democratic party in the upcoming United States presidential election. However, there is still a small chance that "Big Sister" could be chosen to be Obama's running mate and therefore become vice-president if Obama wins the election.

This book was published in 1993, when the Clintons were just beginning their reign. Gas prices averaged somewhere around 70-80 cents a gallon, sub-prime was not a type of mortgage, and the USA didn't go invade another country. However, there was supposedly some bad stuff going on behind the scenes of the Clinton administration. I'm not talking about sneaking off with some intern to get blown, it's some really bad stuff that affected the lives of the citizenry.

Texe Marrs, who previously exposed the diabolical New Age Movement, tells us in this tome that Hillary Clinton and a bunch of feminists rule America (or rather did back then) with Gestapo tactics. It's funny. I don't remember any Gestapo like behavior occurring then. I don't even remember feminists controlling the government. Maybe my memory is not as good as it used to be and for some reason I only remember that the economy was really good.

After leafing through this book, I realize that I am ignorant of what has been going on in this country during the last decade. Texe writes profiles of Hillary and her merry band of friends such as Janet Reno, Dr. Joycelyn Elders, Madeline Albright, Maya Angelou, etc., who were in important and powerful positions in government. They were part of the diabolical New Age Movement as well as part of the New World Order, Texe tells us. Some of them even wanted to have young people learn how to use condoms much less learn about sex. Also, Hillary and her women friends plotted to lead the New World Order and rule the world. I couldn't believe that all of these women were in power. Perish the thought. Thank goodness that Texe Marrs had the courage to write this book. Amazingly, the guy never got taken away by the Big Sister Gestapo and is still working today to expose the New World Order and the evil New Age Movement.

On the back cover:

Who's In Charge, And Why Are They Doing These Things To Us?

They are unlike anything the world has ever experienced. They're ruthless, shrewd, and calculating - and they've got a stranglehold on the White House. Recruited and empowered by their boss, Hillary, these are the women who tell Bill Clinton what to do. Get ready, America, for the rise of the FemiNazis!

Big Sister is Watching You unmasks the coven of brutally correct women who now rule over us. Hillary's regiment of hardened, militant feminists include lesbians, sex perverts, child molester advocates, Christian haters, and the most doctrinaire of communists. They possess awesome Gestapo powers. One heads the FBI, another the IRS. Five are members of the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations - subversive organizations whose goal is to end American sovereignty and bring about a global Marxist paradise.


Then there's Hillary Rodham Clinton. What dark power does she exercise over her husband, Bill? What's her real goal? Is she plotting behind the scenes to become President of the United States of America? Will she then go on to usher in a frightening New Millennium?

George Orwell's prophetic novel, 1984, warned us about Big Brother. Now, in the bizarre 1990s, it's time to "Move over Big Brother ... your meaner Big Sister is moving in!"

Texe Marrs is author of over 30 books, including the #1 national bestseller, Dark Secrets of the New Age, and Millennium: Peace, Promises, and the Day They Take Our Money Away. He has taught political science, American government, and defense policy for the University of Texas at Austin and two other universities, and has appeared on radio and TV talk shows across America.

Oklahoma County Commissioner Brent Rinehart's Comic Book

The bandwidth for uploading audio is slow on my end, so I decided to write a different type of post to try it out.

Oklahoma County Commissioner Brent Rinehart is running for reelection this year so he had someone draw a comic book to be used as campaign literature. Brent wrote all of the text. This comic book is being mailed out to people who live in Oklahoma county which is mostly Oklahoma City and its surrounding suburbs. The artwork is very similar to what is in those Jack Chick booklets. The comic book depicts Rinehart's struggles against the forces of evil such as liberal good ol' boys, Satan, and homosexuals. These evildoers are trying to stop the Republican Christian conservative hero from being reelected. The "Roads Scholar" Brent Rinehart displays his amazing grasp of English grammar and spelling.

A local news source obtains the reactions of other local politicians to the comic book. Brent's comic book also is covered in one of the national news outlets. I live in the county that is south of Oklahoma County, so I don't have a vote in the Oklahoma County Commissioner race. Nonetheless, this makes me glad that I don't have to cower in shame when someone asks me where I am from. Have I already mentioned that Oklahoma City now has a major league (National Basketball Association (NBA)) basketball team?

Here's the comic for your reading pleasure.

Willard Cantelon - LSD: Battle for the Mind

Willard Cantelon - LSD: Battle for the Mind

*Special thanks for aethr for also sharing this one in the comments section.

I could sit all day and stare at that cover.

Oh, but I have a post to write. Willard Cantelon is another good moral man like W. Cleon Skousen who wants to save us all from the evils of LSD. Willard is not exactly a dynamic speaker (in other words, nowhere as exciting as the cover). He's not as much fun to listen to as say Jack Van Impe or Jimmy Swaggart, but the material in his lecture is more than interesting enough to keep one's attention even if it's from a Christian perspective. Although, I don't quite come away being scared out of my wits when Cantelon describes the gruesome details of the effects of LSD. I think that Van Impe would do a lot better job at that. Interestingly, I've noticed that snippets of this album appear on playlists on psychedelic music radio shows.

Ah, screw it, I'm done writing. I want to go back to looking at the cover. Anyone want to engage in a staring contest with the dude on the cover?

UPDATE: Post fixed. Originally this was posted with two sides, but what was originally posted as side 1 is the entire album and side 2 was actually the Skousen album. My apologies.

W. Cleon Skousen - Instant Insanity Drugs

W. Cleon Skousen - Instant Insanity Drugs

Special thanks to aethr for providing this one in the comments section.

Instant Insanity Drugs was released on the Key Records label, the same label that released Tony Dolan's album, previously posted on this blog. I found out that Key Records was a rightwing outfit affiliated with the John Birsch Society when I did a little research on Skousen's background.

Skousen was an FBI agent before he fully delved into writing conservative commentary. He is known for the book The Naked Communist which is about the evils of communism and their diabolical plans to turn America's children into drugged up commies and immoral blasphemers or something like that. Skousen also served on the faculty at Brigham Young University and active in the Mormon Church of the Latter Day Saints. Skousen tries to educate about the dangers of illegal narcotics or "psychedelic drugs". The guy who wrote the liner notes, Vick Knight, Jr., an assistant superintendent in a school district in Orange County, California, claims that:

Skousen brilliantly unmasks the Timothy Learys among us, the Pied Pipers who tell our youngsters they can "turn on, tune in and drop out" by means of potent weeds and seeds and chemical compounds. He tells why there is no such thing as a "good trip".

Then Vick says this LP should be required listening for every student, parent, educator and law enforcement officer. If enough of us, through this medium, become aware of the potential chromosomal damage and long-lasting psychotic aftereffects of the mind-bending drugs, then perhaps Tommy Forrester, and countless others, will not have died in vain.

Jack Van Impe - From Night Clubs to Christ

Jack Van Impe - From Night Clubs to Christ

This blog started off with a message by Mr. Van Impe where he discussed what hell really is. This message is Van Impe's conversion story of how he once was an inhabitant of night clubs (because his father was a night club entertainer) to becoming a crusader for all that is good and holy including ranting against rock 'n' roll and naked women in movies. This record reveals how Van Impe became the man he is today.

Raymond and Peter - Shut Up Little Man

Raymond and Peter - Shut Up Little Man

This was found somewhere on the interwebs. Since I think the world needs to get better acquainted with the antics of Raymond and Peter for some reason, I decided to pass it along here on my humble little blog. All of the material on this release took place in San Francisco, California, at an apartment building in the Lower Haight area. Raymond and Peter were basically two obnoxious loud drunks who were oblivious to the fact that their neighbors lived close enough to hear them. Actually the walls in the apartment building were really thin. Raymond and Peter mostly shouted at each other and even fought each other. A couple of Raymond and Peter's neighbors were becoming increasingly frustrated by the noise, but intimidated by the occasional violent threats by Raymond and Peter towards each other. So they just decided to record Raymond and Peter doing their thing. The guys who recorded Raymond and Peter got some laughs out of the shouting and the rants then they started to imitate Raymond and Peter and reciting their arguments. They have recorded hours and hours of Raymond and Peter. These recordings have been sold on several cassettes along with merchandise such as t-shirts, bumper stickers and even death certificates of Raymond and Peter. Curious to know how private conversations could become available for public consumption. Then again the neighbors' friend mentions that "you have to wonder how much right to privacy a person who's screaming at the top of their lungs expects."
There is a third person named Tony who sometimes dropped in at Raymond and Peter's place. Tony is a "white trash" drifter who seemed to have only contributed to the tension between Raymond and Peter. Tony at times would get in the arguments or start arguments himself where he shouted and threatened violence.



Shut Up Little Man is a best-of compilation of the recorded material. Most of the material is profane. The track titles let you know what you're in for when listening. If you're easily offended, this is definitely not for you. Otherwise, Shut Up Little Man offers a fascinating glimpse into a world that hopefully most would be fortunate enough not to experience. I think it's also funny as hell.

Lust Control - Dancing Naked

Lust Control - Dancing Naked

A while back, conservative Christian punk/hard rock band Lust Control's album We Are Not Ashamed was posted. That album had professional production. Lust Control self-released two albums prior to that album. Dancing Naked was the band's second album. It's not as well polished in production (i.e. low-fi), but it's really not much of an issue. The tunes rock and can be enjoyable even if one disagrees with their perspective and can get past it. As far as I know, their first two albums were released only on cassette while We Are Not Ashamed was released on both tape and CD. A few songs from this album were rerecorded and put on We Are Not Ashamed. For a little background information on the band, go to the earlier Lust Control post as I don't feel like it writing it again.

Rock & Religion (Shows No. 49 & 50)

Rock & Religion (RR 49 & RR 50)

Rock & Religion was a radio show produced in Sacramento, California. It ran from 1977 to 1981 with about 184 programs. The show focused on rock and pop music from a Christian perspective. Apparently, these programs were put on LPs as promotional copies according to that valuable internet resource, Wikipedia. My copy of Rock & Religion has programs 49 and 50.

Program No. 49 is about punk rock. It is hosted by Mary Neely, and Steve Scott, a musician and poet, is the program's guest who offers an explanation why punk rock is aggressive, violent and shocking. The program features snippets from The Sex Pistols, Ian Dury, The Damned and even The Rolling Stones. It's a fun program to listen to and is of interest to anyone interested in punk rock. The program actually offers some good sociological insight into punk rock, but probably nothing new for those already knowledgeable of punk. This show originally aired on November 19, 1978.

Program No. 50 is about how love songs have evolved from being romantic and thoughtful in the 1940s to being overtly sexual and selfish in the 1970s to say the least ("people indeed become reduced to love machines"). Song snippets from Elvis, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones (again), Rod Stewart, KC and the Sunshine Band and others are featured. The first 15 minutes is fun to listen to. The rest of the program ... not so fun. Three songs are played in their entirety that are still romantic, thoughtful and definitely sappy in the decadent 1970s and there is an interview with one of those artists. This show originally aired on November 26, 1978.

By the way, programs 49 & 50 are awaiting to be filled on that Wikipedia article.

Bill Glass - Get "Up" for the Game

Bill Glass - Get "Up" for the Game

Another one from Bill Glass. On this record, the former pro football player speaks in front of a group of teenagers somewhere in Arkansas. He uses more football metaphors in an attempt to motivate people for not only athletic competitions but for the game of life. The speech on this record has been called by high school principals and university administrators the greatest speech they have ever heard as opposed to the other record where it's merely one of the greatest speeches they've ever heard. That's what the liner notes say so it's quite true.

No doubt this speech will pump up whoever listens to it and instill a winning attitude. Glass makes a strong appeal to the two major coexisting religions here in Oklahoma, football and Christianity. Now if I may be excused as I'm pumped up and ready to go. I have a Super Bowl party to help put together.

Bill Glass - The Most Important Thing

Bill Glass - The Most Important Thing

To commemorate the gladiatorial spectacle known as the Super Bowl (championship game of the National Football League (NFL)) taking place next week here in America, the Basement presents a talk given by former professional football player Bill Glass. Glass tells anecdotes from his playing days and says how people can apply his football experiences and other football metaphors to daily Christian living experiences. One learns that there is an opponent harder to defend than even the New England Patriots. That opponent is Satan. At some places on this record, Glass comes close to giving a rah-rah speech and the listener feels pumped up enough to want to run through a brick wall for God or at least tackle the hell out of somebody. [Pun sort of intended.]

People from all walks of life such as players, coaches, parents, school principals, leaders and salemen say this recording is one of the finest they have ever heard. That's what the liner notes say so it must be true.



Also from the liner notes is a brief bio of Bill Glass:

Bill Glass made a name for himself as one of the most outstanding football players in the National Football League, playing with Cleveland during their championship years. He was a consensus All-American at Baylor University in 1956. He played pro ball twelve years with Detroit and Cleveland and played in the Pro Bowl in 1963, 1964, 1965 and 1968.
Bill retired from football in June, 1969. He has since devoted himself to influencing young and old alike to a more motivated and fuller life. He is an evangelist whom many have compared with Billy Graham. He is widely respected as an athletic consultant particularly in the field of motivation. He is president of the Bill Glass Evangelistic Association which conducts several city-wide crusades across the country each year. He is also the author of three best selling books.
