  1. 5 out of 5

    – :

    After a brief “cold open” the main story begins. Joe’s is the only voice, with background alternating between a music loop and a drone.
    The 2nd story is more surreal, with different background music. I still don’t know what it is, but it’s pretty cool, and it’s in 4/4. (The Can selection is in 7/4.)
    Like all of Joe’s shows, Bible Salesman is fun, deep, and thought-provoking. But ultimately, and most importantly, it is life-affirming. After making me laugh and think, Joe makes me stop and just be quiet, a little more aware of my self, and a little less afraid to be alone.
