Jesus Gonna Be Here

harry crewsTonight I have the pleasure of seeing Searching for the Wrong Eyed Jesus, a documentary by Andrew Douglas and musician Jim White that "examines the meaning and consequence of religion for people who were born and raised in poor Southern communities." I love the way British folks regard American culture...we all end up looking like trained circus bears. Not unjustifiably. Anyhow, I'm eager to see SWEJ, having already listened to the soundtrack, which includes the stylings of proper Southern Gothic folks like The Handsome Family, 16 HP, Trailer Bride's Melissa Swingle, and my lord and savior Harry Crews.

I hope to have a review up tomorrow. And maybe another unrelated review. In the meantime, have you read bmarkey's review of Spoon's latest? Please do.
