Jesus Christ's am talk show out of LA

This morning I had to drive back across the border to shoot a wedding with my friend Kristen Peelle. I left pretty early to avoid any major traffic. Trent was heading north too, and pulled over at the end of our street to tell me about this program his listens to on Sunday mornings. He reluctanly gave me the station telling me it would just make me angry. I tuned in anway and was amazed to be listening to The Jesus Show, "with you holy host, Jesus Christ."
It was what can only be described as an interesting experience. This man referred to himself as Jesus, answering theological questions and helping to solve life's problems with scripture. It was not, as I initally assumed, a born again fanatic show. He was playing lots of secular music ncluding the Yeah, Yeah Yeahs, and the original Depeche Mode Personal Jesus. And he was clearly read and educated, and spoke Hebrew. Much of what he said had to do with seeing the difference between the perscriptions of scripture and the descriptions of the time of Jesus' (his) life.
It kept me going through the border traffic. It was kind of like going to church, right?
