about

The Lying Pastor: I’m not sure I have to explain how organized religions tend to neglect their constituents in the throws of their own greed and ambivalence, but the people keep lining up so the saints can kiss their hand or baby. This song was just too perfect to not include in my choice of covers. If we’d gone the opposite with this album and done all originals in Spanish I’d probably include this cover anyway – One Juana Molina’s song’s are excellent- 2 the message and concept work so well. Were the American’s flocking to exploit Marías spiritual services at fault for flocking? Or, María for allowing strangers into her community? Or was it because she was greedy? Or was it just because she was a woman? All of these questions seemed to justify her treatment at the time. None of these questions are humane- all of them human.
