An interview with Brock in 1998…. Interviewer: Let me ask you about some of the songs, like “Jesus Christ was an Only Child”? Brock: It’s not true, he had a brother. He did have a brother. Interviewer: Like Elvis? Brock: I don’t know, maybe like Elvis. I don’t know much about the Elvis story. His mom had a kid with old Joseph. Interviewer: I don’t know too much about Bible stories. Brock: It’s all just allegorical shit, you know? Just a bunch of stories with little messages, you know? Might as well be Dr. Seuss. I spent some time in this Christian gospel cult when I was a kid. My family was part of this thing called Grace Gospel. It’s a branch off of — there’s a main church in Texas, the Branch Davidians were a crazier branch, and then the one we were part of was a crazy (but not psychopathic) branch of the thing. I was around religion a little with that. It’s just interesting to me. I’ve been an atheist for quite a while — I’m getting a little more agnostic as I get older and more superstitious, but I’m trying to figure out where they do put atheists in heaven, where you end up working. Probably just washing halos and stuff like that. Baking manna. Cleaning out meat trucks at the gates of Hell. |

@[A:41895] modest mouse fan I found it again. Interviewer: Let me ask you about some of the songs, like “Jesus Christ was an Only Child”? Isaac: It’s not true, he had a brother. He did have a brother. Interviewer: Like Elvis? Isaac: I don’t know, maybe like Elvis. I don’t know much about the Elvis story. His mom had a kid with old Joseph. I don’t know too much about Bible stories. It’s all just allegorical shit, you know? Just a bunch of stories with little messages, you know? Might as well be Dr. Seuss.

| Wingnut Dishwashers Union – Proudhon In Manhattan Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| Pretty straight-forward. Pat’s beliefs about what it means in practice to be an anarchist in America today.\n\nI really feel this song is the sweet spot of all his music. Still young but almost mature. Still drunk but almost sober. Still angry at the world but almost accepting of it. | |
