I loved you from the pulpit. Call unto me and I will answer thee? You’re not answering my love. You’re not answering, my love. I loved them like my own flesh and blood. I loved them like a father should. Their prayers aren’t hardly asking much, But you’re not answering their love. You’re not answering their love. So I packed the Pontiac, Took the love you won’t give back. There’s a different way to do this. Took the Grand Prix on the 10 West. I left because you left. I left because you left. 33:3 PART 2 Down Beverly, To Television City, In the back seat Of black-windowed limousine. Pass driveways - The mouths of caves. You left. You left. Behold! A transfiguration. In make up New paper collar You’ll make it up to them somehow New booth, new church: a prime time game show. Change lives! Cash prizes! Answer this and win it all! You are the light, their guide, their idol And shaking, they will lean on you. What do you do? What do you do? The chorus was a shadow, a lie. You tried, so hard. Call unto me, and I will answer thee? Jeremiah 33:3 Shaking, they still lean on you. What do you do? What do you do? The chorus was a shadow, a lie. You tried, so hard. Call unto me, and I will answer thee? Jeremiah 33:3 YOUR FAVORITE GAME SHOW Won the tickets for your birthday. At least I told them it was your birthday. Your favorite game show. I give you the living tableau: The studio audience, Is wailing and waving their arms around. S.O.S. Save Our Souls! We're gonna drown! After church on Sunday - We go almost every Sunday. Spread the bills out on the table. Think of that prize money, and how I'd spend on the credit cards and the cable. And the kids next door, Are wailing and waving their arms around. I wish I could save more. Dear God and Hal Harvey, Why am I so poor? And why'd we go on that game show? Why do we sit in church every Sunday? I don't know. No one's gonna save me. And it's not about being lucky. It's about looking at you, And wailing and waving my arms around. A love so true, I'd go on National TV and pray to God, That we'll be happy and stay in love, Despite the money or even the Lord. Oh, baby, it isn't hard to love you. I Door Number One you. Thank God you are the one who I come home to. 33:3 SYNOPSIS Hal Harvey (36), a preacher near 29 Palms, leaves his church, deciding that apparently God isn’t listening, and neither God, nor Hal have been able to grant the prayers of Hal’s congregation. Hal packs his Pontiac Grand Prix and heads to Hollywood to become a game show host- the only way he can see to more-immediately give the people what they need and want—what they pray for. Is it about granting the prayers of the show’s contestants and providing hope for the audience and the folks at home, or more about Hal’s efforts to kill the guilt he feels about not being able to grant these same prayers through the church? Heresy. Hal is not operating from his own corporation/his own pocket ala HARPO, he is using the money of the show’s sponsors (ArboReal/the Devil). Obviously conflicted about that, he chooses to bear that guilt rather than the guilt he experienced as a preacher. Hal finds comfort from his guilt only in the phrase “You tried.” This is his disillusionment. In his search for guidance away from the cross, Hal has discovered Socrates, ook 6, the Allegory of the Cave. He wants to bring specifically Plato’s The Republic, B the contestants to the light, dazzle them with the spectacle of the show, be the Enlightened One, their guide from their caves. To Hal, the light is TV—the hope it can bring, and the money/prizes the sponsors have to give; the power to change lives. Hal is now the centerpiece of that light. Hal and the show are programmed as a spectacle for the viewers at home, and then, politely revealed for the live audience in the dimmed studio: the light and the shadows of the background (cameras, orchestra, lights, applause signs, and prizes, a stage on which to confess and take home your worldly desires and deeper than that: the restraints and spectacle of organized religion.) WINNER DOWN No one’s coming over. No one comes to this part of town. I’m gonna watch some TV. No one gets this winner down. Winner down! Every night, I beat all the contestants. God in heaven! Oh, Father! Are you watching these Americans? Who’s Your Neighbor? Who’s Your Neighbor? Private Drive. My neighbor’s me, God, Winning game shows without even trying. No one’s coming over … One by one, I feel them drift away. Year after year, They just have less and less to say. Plus I moved up, To this hideout in The Hills. It’s better than any love I’ve ever had and probably ever will So, no one’s coming over … Reigning Champion, The still small voice is my own. Yelling at the television, I remind myself I’m alone. Oh, the answers, The answers that I find. Solve the problems Or simply decline. I decline All the time. HA HA HA After the taping, we’re at a bar It’s some girl’s birthday Look! Her shirt’s coming off Black bra All her friends are clapping Ha, ha, ha! Now she’s on the table Dancing in their drinks I feel as unstable As you Just barely touch my leg Ha, ha, ha! She wants those pictures taken Wants all of their attention Keep them talking for days You’re looking at me You’re looking at me You’re looking at me Check, please! Waiter! Waiter! It’s fine. I’m fine. I can be more like her So try And I will try, I will try, I will try to(o) Ha, ha, ha.

Antimicrobial protection is about protecting the environment, your investment, and most importantly your family, neighbors and pets. Call for more information about ArboGen® and ArboShield®. *If you live in seasonal climates, and enjoy the changing appearances of your natural trees, don't worry: ArboReal® trees can be designed to change color in the fall, and retract their leaves in the winter.

One of these days! One of these days! SHE NEVER TURNS HER BACK She never turns her back On a washer dryer Sails across her living room carpet Wearing a Vaseline smile She sits and thinks about angels And their maple blonde hair Trapped on earth just like she is Every day on the air The neighborhood on the set doesn’t look like hers. She can hear them in the upstairs apartment, Moving the furniture. What a simple life they lead, Turning their backs if they please, Taking all the attention she wants, By just watching TV. Free will’s gathering like a storm Behind the crowds as they clap But she keeps riding in on platforms And she never turns her back She is there to protect them Show them the way Careful that her jealous thoughts Don’t get her fired for betrayal The neighborhood on the set doesn’t look like hers … And if she ever left the spotlight No. She’s seen what happens. The ones who left lost their lives Became demons. No. She needs it. She needs it. STAR STRUCK REPRISE Adam drove down the curving ramps of the garage, trying and trying not to look at the faces of the members of the studio audience returning to their cars. Would they recognize him? He wanted them to, and knew that after the show aired, he might be stopped on the street, spoken to at work! But remembering his endgame failure, he put his hand up to shield his face. Adam played well throughout the game, naming each of his opponents’ occupations with ease. His winnings were high for the program, and his prayers had been answered, but he froze on the ArboReal Final Bonus “KNOCK! KNOCK!”, missing out on an additional fifty grand. There would be no after party with Hal Harvey and Goodie Williams champagne toasting his win. He was just another contestant. His mother and father and sister, who had flown in to watch, had gone back to their hotel. He followed the exit signs, and when he reached street level, the guard (who appeared as an angel) raised the gate (which was a flaming sword), and Adam drove off the lot into the bright sun, dazzled by the excess of light. PARTING GUEST And for our parting guest: Eternal peace and rest! ALBUM ART CONCEPT Television City will come with a booklet of Catholic church-style stained-glass “stills” inspired by each of the songs – a man driving down the highway, a woman watching TV, the set of “Who’s Your Neighbor?”, etc. BIBLIOGRAPHY Deleuze, Gilles and Hugh Tomlinson.
