Evangelist Tony Alamo, owner of a multi-million dollar “church” that sold elaborate clothing to celebrities such as Michael Jackson, has been convicted of a series of disgusting crimes involving sex with girls as young as 9 years old. Five women testified at his trial that Alamo transported them across state lines to have sex with them when they were young girls. Alamo will probably end up spending the rest of his life in prison — and he’s comparing himself to Jesus.

Alamo, whose actual name is Bernie Hoffman, called the accusations a hoax in a phone interview with CNN and denied any type of wrongdoing. “They’re just trying to make our church look evil … by saying I’m a pornographer. Saying that I rape little children … I love children. I don’t abuse them. Never have. Never will,” said Alamo.

During the interview he was asked why authorities were searching his property and he responded, “Why were they after Jesus? It’s the same reason. Jesus is living within me.”

 Frank says:

And all the rest of whom for which to whensoever of partially indeterminate bio-chemical degredation. Seek the path to the sudsy yellow nozzle of their foaming nocturnal parametric digital whole-wheat inter-faith geo-thermal terpsichorean ejectamenta. -- From board tape at Zappa concert, outdoors, at Blossom Music Center, Akron, Ohio, summer 1984. This quote was in the middle of a spoken section of "The Mud Club" in which a dude walks into the club with a blue Mohawk and proceeds to "work the floor, work the wall, work the monitor system. . . ." The band was having monitor feedback problems at the Blossom concert, and there are numerous references to P.A. equipment throughout this ramble. Other than that, the quote is meaningless, I guess. But great imagery!
