Okay.....
Check this out; an advertisement for a book endorsing total abstinence from alcohol with a dance track behind it. I am reminded of a friend who admitted that people took drugs at raves because the music was so bad, so I must contemplate the reality that there is something of a mixed message by Mr. Lumpkin. Not to mention, there's a bit of inconsistency on the part of those endorsing the book, mostly Baptists who ordinarily....don't dance any more than they admit drinking.
And I've got to remember the tune Lumpkin chose reminds me a lot of this little ditty by the Dead Milkmen. Somehow it seems a lot more appropriate than it ought to be.
