"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

"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."

Some Thoughts on Gay Marriage

As we steam into the presidential campaign, it looks like both sides are going to try to make some political hay out of gay marriage. Massachusetts is well on the way to legalizing it, and of course, the hubbub is starting.

I don't quite understand the opposition. Conservatives seem to think that legalizing marriage for homosexuals will somehow erode the notion of heterosexuality. Let me give you my two cents. Since I got married, I've lost weight, begun wearing more stylish clothes that fit better, hosted a myriad of dinner parties, bought and installed window treatments, learned to make a champagne cocktail, received and used Aveda and Nivea skin care products, started wearing organic bay rum cologne, and argued with my wife over scented candles. Near as I can tell, marriage pretty much makes you gay. Seems like the institution is doing a fine job of eroding my heterosexuality all by itself.

I'm also curious now that the Commonwealth has given gay marriage a green light, how many versions of this conversation are going on around the state:

Guy 1: We can finally get married! You always said you'd marry me if they allowed it.

Guy 2: Uh, yeah, about that...look, over there! (Dashes out)

And if two dudes get married, how do they decide which one stops giving blowjobs?
