Consider: a large percentage of political archconservatives (and so-called “libertarians,” who are really just Ayn Rand-worshiping Objectivist drones who are so brainwashed that the Kool-Aid could drink them) tend to be evangelical Christians. Evangelicals are an outgrowth of the Calvinist tradition, which holds that all one must do to attain eternal reward is believe and profess Christianity. It requires no particularly moral actions, and even forgives actions that most human beings would find atrocious, if the Christian only confesses that Jesus is the Savior. Oh, that and wearing a big obnoxious cross or chrome fish on one’s car, so all the world can SEE how righteous you are.

In between these rants, he would write great testimonials about ’80s era, pre-Nirvana indie rock bands like the Young Fresh Fellows and POPDEFECT. Somewhere along the line in his three-decade career, singer-songwriter Jesse Malin could have used a guy like Camden Joy. It is not to say Malin has labored in obscurity like some modern-day Howard Roark.
