I collected every side project there was, however I never owned this one though I borrowed it from th radio station where I worked. I looooooooved it. It was like seeing who Gordon really is, like in some of the songs on Hallowed Ground---Jesus walking on the Water and It's Gonna Rain. He was the other stuff, too, but seriously, he was being real on this.Dianahttp://www.examiner.com/x-36822-LA-Rock-Music-Examinernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-73715109475178327072009-07-05T21:16:14.390-05:002009-07-05T21:16:14.390-05:00You, sir, are one fortunate man.

The audience was made up of all the local punks & alternative crowd. I really don't they knew what to make of it.
