Gay Baptists On Heroin

The news that Snoop Dogg was just inducted into the songwriters Hall of Fame gave me hope. Back in the summer of '78 we toured our band, GBOH, through what I later learned was known as the "Bible Belt." We were not well recieved. Which was a pity. We had lyrics that could match anything Snoop has ever done. Alas, I suspect that due to the band's name, we were victims of homophobia. That's ironic. While a couple of bandmates may have dabbled in hard drugs, as far as I know, nobody was either gay or Baptist. We were literally appropriating a gay Baptist identity, which must have pissed off actual gay Baptists something fierce. Anyway, the Gay Baptists on Heroin have been lost in the mists of time, while Snoop Dogg is forever memorialized in the songwriters Hall of Fame. Life just ain't fair.

GAY BAPTISTS ON HEROIN announce Bible Belt tour

Regular readers will know that GBOH is a side project for Junior and me, when he's not too busy creating electronic "music" that nobody listens to anyway.

The tour is in the final stages of negotiation with Live Nation and will be hitting college campuses from Kentucky to Louisiana this August, God willing.

We're touring to back up our latest CD, "Sheila is a Bible Humper." While the riffs are largely ripped off from the Ramones catalog, you'll find that the lyrics are completely original.

Final word on tour dates will be available shortly.
