"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."

True Story

From a local comic comes this resounding endorsement of Poor Impulse Control:

"True story.

I was coming back to a funeral for a friend in Springfield, and got caught in a speed trap doing 85 on the Mass Pike.

The cop came up to my window and said "Sir, do you realize how fast you, oh, sorry father."

It took an extreme effort not to do a double take.

"Excuse me?", I replied, feigning nonchalance.

"Well, Father, I am sorry to have to pull you over but you were going a little fast there. It must have been those CDs you were listening to. "

I looked around, and realized. I was wearing a black suit, pants and shirt all black. I had the directions to the funeral folded on the seat next to me that looked from a distance a lot like a priest collar. On the seat next to the paper, was my CD player with three CDs in plain view.

One was the Reverend Horton Heat "Forgive the Sinners", but my CD player blocked it just right, so you could only see "The Reverend" and "Forgive the Sinners".

Next to that was the Cd of my friends punk band "Father Jack's Dilemna."

And there in plain view was The Reverend Tim McIntire "Poor Impulse Control".

I came back to my senses. "Yes, they are quite good for the mind and spirit."

"Ah, well, Father, just slow down okay. I won't ticket you, but take it easy."

"Thank you."

"That Reverend Tim McIntire, I never heard of him. Is he good?"

"He a Protestant, but he can really move a crowd." "

Thanks, JJ...you made my day!
