Listen now | Reverend Billy is the world-famous secular preacher singing out against climate change, corporate greed and consumerism. Together with his choir, The Church of Stop Shopping, Reverend Billy uses song and arrest as a form of protest, trespassing into banks, labs and private land to sing about the dangers of the sixth extinction event—and what we can do to stop it.
I listened to this on the train home today, he's a very entertaining Reverend. Did you get to see him in Glasgow in the end? My favourite take on Televangelists is Frank Zappa's "Heavenly Bank Account". FZ predicted in the 90's that the USA was heading towards a fascist theocracy..he wasn't far off!
I did get to see him in Glasgow! It was wonderful. I think it's amazing how he's subverting something so fascistic, and the choir is also doing genuine on the ground research all over the US.
