On Gun Violence — All Comments Are Welcome

TheRevTim — Mon, 09 Jan 2017 14:44:45 +0000

Worst of 2016: Rampant Gun Violence in the United States by Tim Walker 2016 has finally ended. It will be remembered, and not fondly, for many things — a year we elected a reality TV star as our President, a year in which a lot of popular celebrities left us, a year in which the […]

Hap and Leonard

TheRevTim — Wed, 04 Jan 2017 05:17:54 +0000

For more years than I’d care to remember now, Mike South and I have been reading and enjoying Joe R. Lansdale’s “Hap & Leonard” series of books. While I was living in Porn Valley back in 2004, I began picking up the paperbacks and mailing them to Mike one at a time, in order, so […]

The Good Ol’ Southern Belle

TheRevTim — Mon, 02 Jan 2017 00:35:22 +0000

Felicia Fox, my wife, first started dancing at a club in Dayton, Ohio (under a different name) in 1992. I met her at the Dayton airport in October of 1994 — we worked together, she was driving a forklift and hadn’t danced in over a year at that point. After we moved in together, she […]

Just Trying to Get This In Before the Rush….

TheRevTim — Thu, 29 Dec 2016 20:36:17 +0000

I’ll be brief here. I just want to say how much I’ll miss this venue, and all of the great people who have commented here over the years, those from inside and outside the industry. I’ll miss reading my buddy Mike South’s garbled phrases and tortured syntax on a regular basis (not that I won’t […]

Conspiracies, “Truthers”, and the Post-Truth Era

TheRevTim — Tue, 20 Dec 2016 04:14:36 +0000

Welcome to Life After Truth, my friends. There is no ‘Real’ anymore. Facts no longer matter, if they ever really did. Opinion, innuendo, memes, and social media posts, created on a whim and a dare, are the forces that apparently are able to sway nations, voters, laws, and governments in this modern world we inhabit. […]

One Nation, Under Donald

TheRevTim — Wed, 02 Nov 2016 03:45:52 +0000

By Tim Walker “It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.” That is George Orwell’s line, of course, straight out of his novel “1984,” and it makes me pause as I set down my paperback and look at the clock. I was 19 years old back in the year […]

Getting Older

TheRevTim — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 01:10:15 +0000

I was in Speedway today, getting ready to pay for my gas, when I saw this total goofball standing in line. The guy was probably mid-40’s, with long grey hair pulled back in a ponytail, an Iron Maiden t-shirt and a pair of old blue jeans with one of the knees blown out. To make matters worse, he was wearing Chuck […]

Thanks for the Mammaries

TheRevTim — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 02:07:39 +0000

I just wanted to thank Lindsey Lovehands for using my Flamingo Showclub office as her private dressing room this past week. Seeing her standing buck naked in my office was about as close to a religious experience as I’ve been since I saw the Joe Jackson Band perform at the El Rey Theater in Los Angeles in March 2003. […]

Real Man Rules

TheRevTim — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 14:15:50 +0000

My buddy, who has made a career out of trying to turn me into a real man, was giving me more guidance via IM last night while I was lying on the living room floor with my laptop watching “High Plains Drifter”. I try, Mike — really I do. When your examples of real men […]
