"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."

My College Degree Pays Off

It was my turn to put Jude to bed last night, which in theory means we change his diaper, put on his pajamas, and then lie in mama and daddy's bed under the covers while I read him three books and he snuggles on my shoulder. In reality, it means *I* lie under the covers reading books about tow trucks or puffins while he runs all over the room and throws things around like a little midget psychopath.

But last night, while running around, he found an old copy of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight that I had tucked in the nightstand (shut up - I am not a nerd), and for some reason he asked me to read it. So I do, and it's written in iambic pentameter (translated from the original old English), and he's rivted by it. Riveted. So I really beef up my voice, rumbling it really low and dramatic, using everything the College of Santa Fe theater department taught me about speaking verse, and he just snugged himself up against me, sucked his thumb, and we stayed like that for well over 25 minutes. We left off right after the Green Knight challenges King Arthur to a contest. I'm sure Jude has no idea what's going on, but good form insists that I leave it a cliffhanger.
