The Reverend Ike I recall was based in New York. I would like to think that he is still there. We have enough crazy’s out here and all are from other areas other than California!

Pie in the sky! Mrs. Jones sent me her welfare check and the next morning she had a brand new pink Cadillac parked in front of her apartment! What did Mrs. Jones do for rent, food or gasoline? No se nada!


>Do you recall a guy called 'Reverend Ike'? I'm sure the Californians will (if they're old enough). He operated in Los Angeles, and he had a throne made that he sat on and on the front of the chair back above his head, a crown was painted. I saw him interviewed on tv once, and the interviewer asked him if he didn't feel a little guilty driving his Caddy into very poor neighbourhoods to preach and take donations. His answer? "The best way to help poor people is to not be one of 'em."

Wants you. To give your money. To me."
