The Wandering Heretic

When Taylor Hicks won the American Idol contest this year, they had him unveil his single, "Do I Make You Proud."  Despite being a really marginally interesting song, Taylor's popularity and talent took it to the top of the charts.  Yet it still remains a mediocre tune, so there must be some fundamental urge to [...]

  When I originally wrote this one, a punk rock mass would have been considered impossible. My guess is that today, somewhere there is just such an occurance. Sometimes satire is just a few decades or years ahead of reality. I would like to see a Star Trek mass, though…. Click on the "joshuas-people" tag [...]

One of my favorite religious movies of all time is Franco Zeffirelli's Jesus of Nazareth.  I had a VHS copy of the full eight hour presentation that I kept and watched at least once yearly for over 25 years.  When the DVD was released, I purchased it the first week. After all, VHS tape only [...]

I must confess to being a Rush Limbaugh fan for quite a few years after the (first) Gulf War.  In time, though, some of his on-the-air behavior started to get on my nerves and my interest waned. Thereafter, I was only an occasional listener.  But now I think Rush Limbaugh has issues that make him [...]
