The DJ Pope

All this talk about banging the Pope with a silver hammer to make sure he's dead, and how he was a rock star. I don't know about the silver hammer story, but this pope wasn't a rock star, he was better than a rock star - he was a DJ! He had a night (author makes internationally accepted gesture of DJ'ing by holding cupped left hand to ear while making scratching motion with right hand) - the best night of any DJ in the whole sanctified world! Sure he was a laptopper, but that counts! Sony actually put out a legit CD of The Pope's mixes in 1999. It was called Abba Pater. Download "Cristo E Liberazione," the hit single from it, here. Still don't believe me? Download your faith with another DJ Pope - Shelley Pope, aka The Black Pope - instead.

I've heard the silver hammer story before. I can't help but to picture Steve Martin as Dr. Maxwell Edison from Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band starring Peter Frampton and The Bee Gees singing and dancing with a silver hammer and rasping it in syncopation on the Heavenly Father's Head.

A pal of mine has a shrink wrapped copy of the Papal album. Vinyl, it's better than Wall Street.

The Austrian newspaper Der Standard (which is a good, serious paper in a pretty seriously Catholic country) reported this weekend that an IVORY hammer was used on JPI's forhead, and that JPII banned the practice (presumably to protect his own forehead).

Oh, this leads me to believe that JPII is not dead. Only the hammer knows. Maybe the Shadow, too.

JPI published a book, the Illustrissimi, that collected letters that he wrote to such folk as Jesus, King David, St. Frances de Sales, Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Pinnochio, and an as yet unreleased letter to Andy Breckman.

The Pope was also down with breakdancing.

Lost it all in ^&*($# Katrina...and just got new laptop...weird, liked the old one better...having to go waaaaaay back on the blog to catch up. Will never replace the brain cells.

Am looking for my old friend, the notoriously charismatic, John Neilson.

Last heard of in Jax, MS...somehow I just can't picture my ld friend the Celt in Jackson, MS. Like blue food, just ain't right.

JOHN NEILSON, IF YOU'RE OUT THERE, E ME.
