"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."

Nader

Anyone who knows me knows that I was an ardent Nader supporter in 2000. I was a true believer all the way, and I'm quite sure I was outspoken to the point of obnoxiousness about it. That said, let me react to Nader's announcement that he is running again in 2004:

Fuck you, Ralph, you pinhead. I don't necessarily buy that you cost Gore the election (me, I blame Tipper's bad karma for the PMRC), but smarter people than me say you did, and even if there's a CHANCE you could act as a spoiler this time around, you have a moral imperative to sit this one out. In 2000, the time was right to prove a point, a valid point, about the corporate hijacking of our democracy. But in 2004, it's about keeping a cabal of evil scumfucks from bombing the living shit out of a bunch of brown people so their rich buddies can make more dough while they strip us of even more civil liberties and ruin this democracy even further. Announcing so late as you did means you can't even CLAIM to be mounting a viable campaign this time, and I can only think you're doing it to piss James Carville off so bad that his bald little noggin explodes and you get him back for all the shitty things he said about you. Could you do us a favor and just kick him in the balls and leave this election alone? By the way, I'm still registered Green thanks to your movement last time around -- what a colossal mistake that was! I spent about 6 meetings being amazed that grown-ups could be that politically naive before I packed it in and went back to using Sunday afternoons for Civ III.

Ralph, my man with the bicycle-hard thighs and second-hand suits, if you want to help fix this democracy, use your manic energy and bigass brain to help get instant run-off voting in this country. Until that happens, you're simply being a prick, and there's a bunch of kids in Syria who stand to get blown to fucking pieces this time around, and your "candidacy" will actually add to the senselessness of it when it does happen.

But thanks for the seat belts.
