I looked that album up...jfc
Never look up music albums made by white American Christians in the 1960s. You will regret it.
Movies, on the other hand...
Yeah, TIL.
Is that budget Burt Reynolds?
He's pre-Burt's fame, I think.
It's the Plan 9 From Outer Space of Christian Movies: If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do?
The director, Ron Ormond, made a bunch of cheap exploitation films in Hollywood before finding Jesus in the message of Mississippi evangelical reverend Estus T. Pirkle. Why? I have no idea. He's not especially charismatic and he sounds like an idiot.
But Ron moved down to Mississippi and decided to keep making exploitation movies, but make them Jesusy. He made four of them with the Rev, but that one is the funniest.
You can see the whole thing on the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/if-footmen-tire-you-what-will-horses-do-1971-dir.-ron-ormond-final-reconstruction-hd-267159565
Also, there was an LP version of Pirkle's sermon delivered in the film. That version was sampled by the band Negativland for what is probably the song they're most well-known for, Christianity is Stupid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vrt6o81ku5o
I hear that one guy died..
Hell, even his NAME is goddamn atrocious to the point that it's impossible to take him seriously 😂
What's amazing is that a significant number of people did take him seriously. I honestly do not understand why.
It sounds like a Victorian gentleman being coy about a genital wart:
"I shan't be going out this eve, old chap. I'm afraid I've got an estus on my pirkle."
