I hope it's in a store in town here. I don't want to have to wait over a week for it to arrive by mail.

I agree. Matter of fact I'm gonna call my friendly neighborhood Family bookstore tomorrow to see if they have it on order and, if not, to do so post haste.

Nazarene Crying Towel in hand
I am listening to my copy of "Nazarene Crying Towel," which will be releasing next Tuesday March 25th. I'll post a bit more about it later. There are some great liner notes by Terry about each song and the disc as a whole.

NCT an explanation by TST
The liner notes aren't tied to each song but are interspersed throughout the cd booklet between the lyrics. The notes are entitled, "The Nazarene Crying Towel (an explanation).
Following are some of the liner notes explaining The Nazarene Crying Towel printed in the CD booklet:
One of my earliest and most vivid memories concerning our family's churchgoing experiences is by no means a pleasant one. It's early evening at the Downy Nazarene Church midweek service, and I'm a very young child sitting in a church pew staring in wide-eyed disbelief and horror as my mother and grandmother, along with a small group of fellow parishioners, are falling to their knees, sobbing and wailing and vehemently crying out for God's forgiveness. Today I see this surreal scene as a kind of emotional frenzy of despair...a guttural disgorge of pent up guilt, shame, and remorse. I didn't understand then what much of the tumult was about, but I do remember thinking that God had to be a pretty mean and angry person to cause my Mom and my Grandma such misery. I want them to stop. I want desperately to comfort them, to hold them and tell them everything will be all right, but a kind of paralyzing force that is a fear previously unknown to me renders me immobile. This was my initiation into the world of unbridled religious zealotry, and it was like encountering a towering wall of fire whose awesome intensity kept me from attempting to save those it was about to consume. The experience was at once riveting, bewildering, mysterious, and altogether frightening. I could only look on helplessly as two of the people I loved most in the world threw themselves into the roaring blaze of fervent lamentation and were burned beyond recognition....
The liner notes are more extensive. This is simply the first section.

I'm so excited. I called our local Family Christian Bookstores yesterday to see if they would be carrying this. They told me they had two in stock. I was put on hold and when the lady came back, she said, "I guess our computer is wrong. Check back in a couple of days." She told me it would be $16.98. And here I was so excited thinking that maybe a couple had gotten out before the release date.
Posted by afterglow on 03-22-2003 at23:33:
So, should we buy it from the local bookstore as a way to keep them buying the Dogs, or should we buy it from the Dogs site so more money goes to the guys, or look for the cheapest place to buy it?
Posted by joey on 03-23-2003 at01:46:
so-called Christ-ian bookstores give me the creeps....
usually the amount you pay for shipping added to the price to buy it at the webstores is still less than what those places charge....
and my understanding is that more goes to the band that way......

Joey, Joey. There is no better place to support the Chinese military than your local Christian bookstore. Many of those adorable angels and scripture-bearing leprechauns (50% off this week) are made by the Red Chinese. You can make Jesus and the ghost of Mao smile at the same time.

there's probably more truth to that than most of us would want to think
