Church and the Common Jam Band

So I was supposed to be in church today. Well, they got me good, becuase I was, but my mind was 1,000,000 miles away...or at least at the gas station at the end of the block.

I was sitting in church today, and I hadn't been there for longer than five minutes when Miss Rita got "the holy ghost". I mean jumping up, screaming having almost a convulsory fit. "HALLELUJAH!", "THANK YOU JESUS!", etc.

My mom held her hat. It was red. I kinda wanted to wear it. It was really cute.

And then, the organist/musician dude starts egging her on. And by egging her on I mean playing music more conducive to getting the holy ghost. Something a little more upbeat. This went on for quite a bit, well at least long enough for me to start "thinking" again.

And that got me to thinking: where did jam bands come from?

I think they (like everything else) originated in the baptist church. Those solos can go on FOREVER. Just like the preachers and the extended shouting portions.

Juuust saying.

I guess that's all from me.

This is going to be the longest 9 months of my life. And I 'm not even pregnant.
