"On Scatterbrain, McIntire addresses the ups and downs of a working comic's life. The bulk of the album is all laughs -- solid material on everything from having kids to the war on terror, killer stuff from one of Boston's most reliable comedy veterans -- but it's the bonus track, the one labeled "Nagasaki," that's getting the most attention. The nearly half-hour track is nothing short of a complete hell gig..."

Nick Zaino
The Boston Globe

"If Tim set out to reveal more about himself and be vulnerable on his new CD, Scatterbrain, he succeeded. He pulls off the delicate trick of turning inward without losing his persona. He is still The Reverend. Now, rather than pointing the finger at others, he's pointing it at himself. Instead of looking at obscure news stories and making them universal, he takes something universal, the birth of a child, and makes it his...It's smart and fearless. Mr. Hicks, this is Mr. Cosby."

Conspiracy Lite

I am currently working my way through Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, which I am hereby dubbing "Focault's Pendulum for Dummies." That's probably not entirely fair, but I still haven't forgiven Mr. Brown (echoes of Reservoir Dogs) for taking the Priory of Sion mainstream.

For about a decade, I've been interested in the Priory, the Bloodline of Jesus, the Knights Templar, the Masons, Egyptian symbology, secret societies, the Rosicrucians, and so forth. I've bought dozens of books from bunches of sketchy bookstores, combed the web for some seriously freaky sites, and grooved on the conspiracy of it all at 3:00 am. And now, there it all is, just laid out for the good ladies of Oprah's Book Club. It's like when your favorite band becomes an overnight sensation, and suddenly 12-year old girls at the mall are rocking out to YOUR MUSIC. All that said, it's a good read. He certainly knows what he's talking about, even if his plot is a little stock so far. I get the impression this book was written with an eye towards selling the screen rights easily.
