Promoting skepticism and reason without boundaries or sacred cows.
With Apologies to Paul Simon

And nuts to you, Mr. Robertson,
You think Jesus loves you more than we could know. No, no, no.
Up yours please, Mr. Robertson,
Heaven holds no place for those who say pray for pay. Hey, hey, hey.

We'd like to know what it is that makes you think the way you do.
We'd like to help you learn to be more sane.
Look around you, all you see are people just like you.
Stroll around the town until you see the pain.

And nuts to you, Mr. Robertson,
You think Jesus loves you more than we could know. No, no, no.
Up yours please, Mr. Robertson,
Heaven holds no place for those who say pray for pay. Hey, hey, hey

Hiding in a mansion where no one ever goes,
Put it on TV with your cameras.
It's a little secret, just the Robertson's affair,
Most of all, you've got to hide it from the law.

What did you do, Mr. Robertson?
You think Jesus loves you more than we could know. No, no, no.
Up yours please, Mr. Robertson,
Heaven holds no place for those who say pray for pay. Hey, hey, hey.

Sitting in your office on a Sunday afternoon,
Going to the candidate's debate.
Laugh about it, lie about it when your head's in the noose.
Any way you look at it you lose.

Where have you gone, Federal Communications Committee,
A nation turns its hopeful eyes to you.
What's that you say, Federal Communications Committee,
You won't lift a finger to fine a man of God.

What about him? Simon wrote the song by himself.

I have the sheet music. It says "Words and Music by Paul Simon."

I made a couple of changes.

Yea, but Art inspired him.  I liked them better as a duo.

I was hoping for opinions on whether or not the FCC will fine him.

No.  But I can be wrong.

Why not, because he's a preacher?

No, because he is a fruit loop and no one (seriously) listens to him.

Are you calling for government censorship?

I love the changes you made. Great. Very clever. Naa, no one's gonna hold him accountable, and certainly not the FCC. They won't because he is a darling among the Christian righties. I've yet to hear any one of them lambast him for his remarks. They just make excuses. But, then again, I haven't listened to much of anything lately. Just this past wednesday, I sprained the shit outta my ankle, and I'm stoned on vicodins.

Aren't the sort of things he said against FCC regulations?

Are you calling for government censorship?


I just want fairness. I want the same rules applied to him that have been applied to Howard Stern and others who have violated FCC regulations.

I love the changes you made. Great. Very clever.


Thanks.

Some people have been calling for the FCC to investigate. We'll see.

I'm not familiar with the FCC rules. Could you show me where what he said violated them?
