Reverend Billy on Fog Town Network--Bill Talen

Bill Talen's performance art recalls Andy Kaufman (Foreign Man) and predates Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat). Today he raises the stakes by infusing Rev. Billy with zealous anti-corporate activism. (See Rev. Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping) http://www.revbilly.com/ In 1993, years before taking on heavyweights like Starbucks and Victoria's Secret, he tangled with a fledgling Fog Town Network. This brilliant "sermon" from FTN#12 was delivered unscripted on our first live show. The impact of his performance was visible both on the trembling teen hula dancers poised on the next stage, and their dumbfounded parents in the audience. Hearing Rev. Billy testify are FTN's first host Marc Kasky, his dog Alexander, and Steve Hollis as Santa. (That's the same Marc Kasky who would one day himself tangle with Nike--in court.
