Reverend Billy & the Church of Stop Shopping in Seattle March 4th

28 02 2008

One of the true joys this past holiday season for me was getting together with some friends and watching the movie What Would Jesus Buy? From his site Reverend Billy lays his cause: “Reverend Billy and the Stop Shopping Gospel Choir believe that Consumerism is overwhelming our lives. The corporations want us to have experiences only through their products. Our neighborhoods, “commons” places like stoops and parks and streets and libraries, are disappearing into the corporatized world of big boxes and chain stores.”Sounds reasonable, the movie documents Reverend Billys tour and the madness that surrounds the Holiday Season, sure it’s nearing May but consumerisim goes beyond Christmas, the principles in this movie are not only sound but are presented in a hilarious manner wich make it so good things can come.Well, The Rev and The Church of Stop Shopping will be in Seattle March 4th at the UW Hub… should be fun
