GOODMAN: The Equal Rites Awards for 2009
Every year at this time, we prepare to celebrate Aug. 26, the anniversary of women’s suffrage, in our own quirky way. We cheerfully distribute the Equal Rites Awards to those who have done their best over the last 12 months to set back the cause of women.

Who’s calling who an evangelist?
So what do you think of when you hear or read the word “evangelist”? Perhaps it would be better to frame the question this way: “Who do you think of when hear or read the word ‘evangelist’?”
My Alamo War
Ernest Kearney
It’s funny.
I hadn’t thought of the name in ages, yet inexplicably the last few months the name and all the madness connected had been wafting about the edges of my consciousness. Then not long ago, savoring the morning’s first cup of coffee, I opened the L.A. Times and there it was, “Tony Alamo.”
Like an old warrior at his battalion’s reunion, memories came flooding back.

Click on the link below to listen to the broadcast. The first 15 minutes is all about Alamo and sound bites discussed…“I like it, I love it, I want a lot more of it!”, “Crummy Pig, You!” and much more!

This deposition shows how an Alamo follower, Anna Moan, tried to discredit Richard Hydell (a witness for the IRS and a former member) for the audacity of asking for what he wanted for breakfast. Since the standard breakfast diet of the Alamo group consisted of lots of starches (biscuits and gravy, pancakes, French toast) Anna tries to paint Richard Hydell as brazen and demanding special treatment for asking for eggs and toast. Most followers would eat whatever they were served, afraid of being reported to Tony and Sue for murmuring about all the starch.
Moan – direct

Click here to go to Bary Drogin’s “Alamo!” website and listen to this hilarious musical score made from some of Alamo’s tracts.
This page will link you to a selection from Barry Drogin’s “Alamo!”, completed and premiered in 1998. The selection, approximately 75 seconds of music, is from the third page of the work.
The text for “Alamo!” has been compiled from several tracts written by the Reverend Tony Alamo. The Reverend wrote these tracts while in hiding from the FBI — his follower had them typeset, and distributed on the street and on car windshields. He was caught in Florida and served time at the Federal Correctional Institution in Florence, Colorado. He continued writing, from prison, and “counts his imprisonment for Christ as being all joy.” The entire piece is over 20 minutes in duration, and printed on eleven accordion-style manuscript pages.

Apparently, we are all at risk of having demons from other people leap into our bodies at any given moment. Tony Alamo calls these “Body Hoppers”. Who knew?
