One of my guilty pleasures is listening to bizarre radio preachers. I have heard everything from Rev Ike to an explanation of the Deluge and its effect on the dinosaurs. However, I have discovered the wierdest one of them all on the shortwave, and you can hear the same program on the [net](http://www.drgenescott.com/home.htm).

Dr Gene Scott is a seventy-one year old white guy who plays blues music, yes, the very devil’s music itself, and between songs gripes like a drunken grandpa about the lousy turnout at his services in LA, insulting his parishioners and threatening to cancel Sunday’s service unless more people make reservations. You need a reservation to get in.

I feel bad for anybody that his bullying works on. It’s really creepy. Give it a listen.
