Underoath Mom 0 - Me 1

I have a funny story for you if you don't mind. I don't know if you're too familiar with the band Underoath or The Almost, both of them are from my home town. One of the members Aaron Gillispe frequents a bar that local bands play at in a little town called Tarpon Springs, FL. So last weekend my band was playing at this bar with quite a few christian bands. I believe us and a NY style Hardcore band were the only bands that weren't. I my self am a LaVeyan Satanist and many of the lyrics I write are about those sort of ideals.

So Aaron is there promoting his new clothing line, he's not playing, he's just feeding off the scene, like the grammy award nominated sleaze needs anymore money. So I have a favorite shirt that has a picture of Mary holding the shroud of Jesus, her eyes are barred out and it says below the picture "Boycott this Product." I find out that his wife, younger brother and mother are at the show. Our merch guy has this shtick where he says, want a free shirt? An hands them a sticker and puts it on their shirts, pretty funny.

His mom and Brother don't get that I am in the band puts it on. So we play and get off the stage, his mom comes up to me pulls me aside "What does that shirt mean to you?", I tell her I don't believe in god and religion is an industry, simple enough. She asks how I think we got here, I tell her big bang and Darwin. So the rest of the night she gives me the most dirty looks, she stands behind a corner looking right at me like she want's to confront me the whole night. She goes driving off, I notice she STILL had our sticker on our shirt, tell the guys that weren't there about it and we all get a good laugh.

Still the speech and you aren't smart enough to take it off.
