 This week on Dr. Blogstein’s
Radio Happy Hour:

Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson is the drummer for the influential hip hop band The Roots.

With the premiere of “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” on March 2, 2009, The Roots joined host Jimmy Fallon as one of the coolest house bands in late night television history.

 Randy “Father Felony” Radic, who has a long history with Dr. Blogstein, returns to the Radio Happy Hour to promote his new book A Priest in Hell:  Gangs, Murderers and Snitching in a California Jail.

Radic, a former pastor at First Congregational Church in Ripon, CA, served time in prison after pleading guilty to felony grand theft by embezzlement after selling his church without the congregation’s knowledge.

Lorna Scott is most often recognized as James McAvoy’s stapler-yielding boss-from hell in the 2008 summer blockbuster, “Wanted“  which just came out on DVD a few months ago.

Since, the veteran character actress is quickly becoming a household name with a bevy of high-profile projects completed in the last year including her newest, a starring role in the new Bob Saget series, “Surviving Suburbia¸” which premiered on ABC Monday, April 6th at 9:30 p.m. following “Dancing With The Stars.”

Dr. Blogstein and Jane will welcome Robert Salaam to the show. Salaam, who evidently didn’t have a hard enough life growing up in America as a black man, decided to further complicate things by converting to Islam. We’ll shoot the Shiite with him about his religion, the War on Terror and his views on the Muslim characters being portrayed on Fox’s 24.

Joe Franscella, Managing Editor of The Ripon Record will share exclusive and breaking news concerning “Father Felony“ Randall Radic before it hits the morning paper.

Also, Dr. Blogstein and Jane will reveal which of the story endings that they listed here and there are indeed true and which were just made up.

Plus, much, much more including your calls at 646-652-4804.

Join us Tuesday night at 9PM ET or 3AM Belgium time. And if you miss us then, we’re forever archived at Blog Talk Radio. You’re not going to want to miss this!

Well, I suppose when you deal with a ruthless enemy of “Truth, Justice and the American Way” you’re bound to get burned. I learned that first hand this morning when a press release came across my desk in the Dr. Blogstein Newsroom.

(RIPON, CA) Disgraced California Pastor, Randall “Father Felony” Radic, announced today that he signed a deal with Ephemera Bound publishers of Fargo, ND to publish his memoir, “The Sound of Meat”. The book will be released on June 30, 2007.

Radic, who made national news back in 2005 for fraudulently selling the deed to church out from under his congregation, had been on a quest for nearly a year to get his life story published.

His goal of getting published took a step in the right direction when web sensation Dr. Blogstein made public an introductory email that Radic had sent him.

What followed were several appearances on www.DrBlogstein.com, including an exclusive interview last July. Radic’s story was also picked up by respected publishing blogs Grumpy Old Bookman and Books, Inq.

Up until now, “The Sound of Meat” was only available as an e-book through Cool Publications.

Its time, folks, that “Friend of Blogstein” Randall Radic, he who was convicted of selling the church that he worked for but didn’t own, gets his tome published. To do so, Radic needs a literary agent.

I’ve written about Radic a few times before (here, here, and here) and find this man increasingly interesting. He’s a creep, a scoundrel and a dirtbag but at the same time he’s charming, sophisticated and very intelligent. He has all the makings of an awesome, grade “A” cult leader.

But, to his credit, instead of building a compound, collecting wives and fathering a flock of government persecution, Radic has used his intellect to pen his scandalous life story children who grow up to be his followers and ultimately go down in a blaze of glory to escape. (This, by the way, was quite possibly the longest sentence I’ve ever written!)

His book, The Sound of Meat, is available in e-book format but really should be published as an actual book, mainly because who really buys e-books? I’ve read his work as he was kind enough to send me a copy and its nothing short of amazing. The dude can flat-out write. (and I’m not the only one who thinks so.)

According to his memoir, the dude can also attract the ladies, so its little wonder that his career as clergy never really went very smoothly.

The sad thing is that unless we get this guy a literary agent who takes the time to believe in this project, the world will never be entertained by this story. And what irritates the hell out of me is that with all the trouble Father Felony is having as he tries to get his amazing story published, Rutger Hauer has his autobiography coming out in February. Who the hell cares a lick about Rutger goddamn Hauer?!?

UPDATE! 9/12/06 Read an exclusive excerpt of The Sound Of Meat.
