Amen Brother

Kadizzle knows a lot more about the Bible than most people would think.  This happened two ways.  As any young person Kadizzle had a certain amount of religion shoved up his exhaust.  Someone was always pushing to have Kadizzle go to Sunday school, or vacation Bible school. Kadizzle always thought it a massive shame to waste a sunny day inside getting involved with the lord.  None the less Kadizzle was exposed.

The second way Kadizzle got religion was on the radio, and a little TV.  In Kadizzle's home town there is a radio station WWVA.  WWVA was the second radio station ever in the United States. The first was KDKA in Pittsburg. WWVA made its money with two basic formats, country music, and crooked preachers.  WWVA was very famous for it's Jamboree.  Every Saturday night tourist would come from Canada to see the live stage show that was broadcast on WWVA. Many country legends like Johnny Cash, and Tammy Whinet, got their start there.

Kadizzle somehow got fascinated by the crooked preachers that came on every night about six or seven.  These scoundrels knew every trick in the trade to bilk old ladies, and the simple minded, and they made good money doing it.  There was Reverend Ike, The Honorable S. Bishop Sheldon, and a few other famous ones.  One of the preachers worked out of his own little town in Arizona.  Oh, now I remember his name, A. A. Allen.  Gold old A.A. Allen was an alcoholic.  When he died Time Magazine revealed that he would sit in front of the microphone with a pitcher of martinis.  Time even showed a picture of him with the drink jug in front of him preaching on WWVa.  The Honorable S. Bishop Sheldon was a black preacher and had a wonderful choir.  Kadizzle used to love to fall asleep listening to Bishop Sheldon's choir.  Reverend Ike sold prayer hankes.  You could put a prayer hanke under you pillow and then go to the race track the next day and win the perfecta.

Now this all gets to the moral of the story.  One night old Bishop Sheldon was preaching away.  He said he was never wrong. Kadizzle liked his confidence. Bishop Sheldon said that if anyone ever proved him wrong they would get a three story refrigerator, with an elevator, and a guy to run the elevator.  Now how many preachers can make you an offer like that.  Of course the Muslims are offering 28 virgins.

Back to the moral of the story.  Kadizzle writes this silly blog every day.  Does anyone read the damn thing?
Bishop Sheldon sort of had the same question, and problem.  One night he was preaching away and every time he said something the whole congregation would say "Amen Brother, Amen".  This went on for awhile and then the Honorable Bishop said " No matter what I said you idiots would say Amen, Brother Amen", to which the congregation replied "Amen Brother, Amen".  Now this gets to the point.  Does anyone read this crap?  Let me know, by sending me an email to dakotaquinn@gmail.com.  Simply say Amen Brother, Amen.
