you can name as many as you want!
i like that Al Green is so popular. i met him!
he has a church in memphis called the first tabernacle of god, it's kinda in the ghetto. anyway, he's a cool old guy and he won't sing any of his secular songs in church BUT a retired judge was there and he put a fifty in the plate with a note asking if he would sing just a little of love and happiness, and he did but it was really just a little. oh and all the paintings are F&%$ing classic; they're all of the rapture with cars crashing and dead bodies everywhere. i'll never forget that.
