A Rock Star Among You
Here is the Reverend Drew Bunting with his Jesus ashtray.
And here is the Reverend Drew Bunting with his banjo.
Yes, subscribers, you may not know it, but there is a genuine legend of rock in your midst.
The Reverend Drew Bunting, who has delighted us for years with his tasteful (and tasty) fusion of folk and punk, has seen fit to compose a ditty in response to last month's Richard Nixon Essay Competition .
The song is beautiful yet tragic, pithy yet eternal. We were moved by the composition and were sorely tempted to give it first prize, but we feared that early success might make the good Reverend complacent. Rather, we resolved to keep him hungry and a little pissed off, hopeful that this deliberate slight might motivate him to write many more songs in honor of many more books.
I wonder what kind of song Drew would write about Understanding Traffic.
Go to the Idiots'Books home page, to stream the song or click here if you hate our site and don't want to have to look at it.
Know that the Richard Nixon song is but one of many in Drew's amazing catalog. He has released several quality albums, one of which may still be available for purchase. I will inquire with the man himself and let you all know how to purchase once I find out. Email me if you are interested in finding out more about this.
Also, rumor has it that the good Reverend may be working on a new album. If this turns out to be true, I will let you all know as soon as it is available.
