For all the Copeland wannabes out there, I'd like to amend the category name slightly:

"Best unhinged performance by a Batshit Crazy Televangelist." Think of it as a Razzie for charlatans.

To further encourage them (not that they need encouragement), the annual winner will receive a gold-plated statuette of a dollar sign.

to support his life-style and that of his family. He laughs all the way to the bank. It is time for new laws to be passed regarding taxes on religious institutions. It does not involve in any way the denial of religious freedom. It just makes them pay for the same freedoms the rest of us pay for.

His mimicking the phrasing, tempo and accents of the spoken material is brilliant! Brings to mind two things: David Byrne and Brian Eno’s “My Life in the Bush of Ghosts” used radio recordings of southern preachers to create brilliant music collages. “Help Me Somebody” is my favourite, almost makes me wanna go to church!



Much less commercial, more in the vein of electronic or experimental music is the Quebec guitarist Rene Lussier whose album “Le Tresor de la Langue” (Treasures of the Language?) used audio clips of French speakers accompanied by guitar mimicking the cadences of the speaker. The first part of this clip is the infamous speech by Charles De Gaulle at the height of FLQ separatist tensions where he shouted to the crowd “Vive le Quebec libre” (long live a free Quebec”.

yeah, for some reason, people love making fools of themselves over charlatans and KC is one of the biggest ever. Right up there with Trump.
