Week 14: Falling from grace with god, and a dummy

Since the HTMPL Team is very busy this weekend (oh, my! what beast have we created! we have 666 letters to read and reply to concerning our last post...) this post will come to you a little early this time.

It´s not that easy to fall from grace. Especially if you like to wallow in self-pity. If you did and if you do you might as well turn it into an artform for public consumption, like Tammy Faye Bakker who constantly seems to apply it, like her thick mascara under those ever running tears. But she did do some fun records back in the good old days with Jim. But Jim he fell so hard that he had to go to prison for a few years, even sharing a cell with Lyndon LaRouche. Imagine those two together in a cell – the mind boggles. Tammy jumped ship and shagged up with Jims mate Roe Messner. And on it goes.

There´s something about Tammys singing that keeps reminding us of our favourite ventriloquist dummy: Little Marcy. How can that be? Now, Jim fell for the money and Jerry Lees cousin Jimmy Swaggart fell for sex. There´s just too many temptations out there for god-fearing evangelists. If it´s not money or sex there´s always the bottle to turn to in between sermons. To gear you up before hitting the pulpit and telling them lazy sinners out there a true word or two.
