Rockin Hassid

Does anyone know who this guy is? Is he the same guy called “Curley Oxide” in that “This American Life” Episode about the Hassid who turns into a rock star? Is it just a fake?

    Sorry for a last comment, but I just listened to your podcast.

    I think I know who you’re talking about. His name starts with “T” doesn’t it? What a fucking hypocritical cunt. Dump him as a friend, stat. How the fuck could you be considered a misogynist? Where would that even come from?

    If it’s for your use of the word “cunt”, then he has no idea about what feminism is. Cunt has been adopted by feminists for decades and is considered to be a very liberating term for women everywhere. And you seem to have many female friends that enjoy the show, so what the fuck is his problem?

    So go fuck yourself “T”!

    There is a podcast available at PRX.org about Matisyahu (“rockin hassid”). The piece, titled “Hassidic Reggae” is by Aaron Henkin from October 4th, 2004. Jane’s right; He’s pretty good.
