“Get a Life” (John 3:16)

‘What The Bible Says About Flying Saucers’ by one Rev. Bud Spriggs and issued on Nashville’s World Wide Records. Rev. Bud Spriggs called himself the ‘Chaplin of Hell’ a title he received from the Mayor and City Council of Hell, Michigan (according to liner notes). The opening dialogue sees Bud in fine UFO Shtick form complete with canned laughter on the non-existent punch lines. Hear these tracks on WFMU’s “On the Download”. For a more serious exploration of our relationship to the cosmos check out Sentient Developments.
