This article reminded me of a Lou Reed lyric from his album "New York"; written and recorded in the 80s, when the moral majority was running amok. The occupant of the White House back then was Ronald Reagan. The moral majority and Reagan were bedfellows, having anointed one another in Reagan's first bid for the top job. In Reed's song, "Strawman," is found the lyric which is apropos when contemplating Chris Neuberger: "Does anybody need another self-righteous rock singer whose nose he says has led him straight to God."

I don't begrudge anyone their own road-to-Damascus experience (no matter my thoughts on the matter), but I do take exception to the blind leading the blind. Maybe Neuberger should chill for a decade and establish a proven track record before assuming the self-righteous role in which he has imbedded himself in at the jailhouse.

Thank you for your service, "Dom." Another great piece of journalism which is quashed elsewhere in Wenatchee Valley's media elite circles. The media should not have bedfellows nor make editorial decisions based on ad revenue.

Here's a link to "Strawman": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siiNiX5-zAk

The "captive audience" comment is so damn gross.

It almost sounds like Josh is bragging when he says, "Your favorite felon and mine". How convenient to have another avenue from which to hook allies for his army. I'm going out on a limb and assuming felons will join the farmers, servicemen, LEO's, etc in being fully equipped and ready with loaded guns in the event GCC needs to battle with "the enemy" to protect their own.
