    Michael Ballam on Music

    Interesting article about a talk re: music given by Michael Ballam (aka Satan):

    http://www.mormontimes.com/people_news/education/?id=10277

    He mentions a case where some friends had a child in a coma and he suggested that they sing "I am a Child of God" and it ended the coma. In another case, he played Tab Choir music 24/7 for a few days at home to rid the house of evil spirits.

    Sounds a bit like a nut to me. (I will disappointed if SU doesn't comment on the irony in that remark)

    I will be sure to try some hymns the next time I have a patient in a coma and I will report back.

      If someone played MoTab at my house 24/7 for a few days, I would leave, too.

          I am pretty sure that hearing the MoTabChoir 24/7 would actually put me in a coma. Especially the Choir during the Jerrold Ottley era.

            Now I know what happened to cause "the three men I admire most . . . [to catch] the last train for the coast" Even They couldn't take that sort fo abuse.

              Anyone else keep tabs on locations/times so as to avoid loud laughter trying to watch Michael Ballam?

                I wonder if he felt the need to "get into character."

                  Are you saying that you prefer Gay Satan over Opera-Man Satan?

                    I think it would be more accurate to state that I prefer not to watch Opera-Man Satan.

                    EDIT: If I had to choose, I'd go with Tuesday 7 pm SLC Satan. That man's got some real acting chops.

                        I thought about it and posted it anyway. I probably should have come to a different conclusion. And so, I'm off to come up with a Dallas itinerary...

                          No, I am glad you posted it; bizarre is good. we are, after all, a peculiar people.

                            Opera-Man Satan also means you get the Brunette Eve who is definitely hotter than Blonde Eve.
                            Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                              Its a wash.
