Old "Puff Piece" on Sullivan's Dog from La Crosse Tribune Newspaper

   I did the best I could to keep the resolution on the picture high so that people may see this. It's from way back in the day. I must have been a high school junior at the time. I blotted out the contact phone number for booking, suffice to say our drummer's home phone number was included in the original article!

I have better arguments than your arguments for Mosaic authorship of Deuteronomy

     I'm working on a blog post for the Reformer where I will defend Mosaic authorship of Deuteronomy (meaning I will defend the fact that Moses wrote it).  It should be a fairly thorough series of posts to first dismantle opposing scholarship on the point, and then provide the positive case for Mosaic authorship. It breaks my heart that anyone could read Deuteronomy, especially after they study and test the veracity of Genesis through Numbers, and end up concluding somehow that Moses was not the main contributor (so that is not to say there were not other redactors involved in the writing. I would support the "supplementary" point of view of Deuteronomy. Moses was the main writer). The book Deuteronomy is loaded with Moses's care, concern, and love for his people- a love from God indeed. I think people who read it and think that Moses did not write Deuteronomy have a very sinister problem with themselves that they should look at. Nonetheless, I am making somewhat an...

Numbers 16- Moses's "Threatening Course of Conduct"

   In Numbers chapter 16 Moses commits a "threatening course of conduct" in modern legal terms. He tells, possibly approaches, Korah and his company twice with the same request that they "meet him tomorrow at the doorway of the tent of meeting with censers with fire in them" to see who in fact was holy. Then he also communicated repeatedly with Dathan and Abiram, and threateningly suggested the earth may swallow them up and they would descend straight into Sheol. Don't you think so? And as Israel's political leader he was still under their law, as well. So if that was somehow wrong under Mosaic law, his judges and leaders would have dealt with him (kind of like what happened anyway in the rebellion of Korah). Now do you think our laws are messed up or not? link to Numbers 16:   https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?version=NASB&search=Numbers%2016 I will need to expand on these ideas. I just wanted to get the word out. A more thorough analysis is defi...

Why does "Lowzer" video have one thumbs down and that's it?

    A live video of Sullivan's Dog "Lowzer" has been on my youtube channel TheDavidisaiah since around the time I started the channel. But the video was shot in 1994 and transferred to digital in 2010. I don't just put videos up for no reason. There must be something good or noteworthy about them in order for me to be compelled to place them on the internet for public viewing. "Lowzer" is not the worst songwriting accomplishment- especially by 1994 standards. It is just that this video is the only surviving recording I know of from the original group of which I was one of the guitar players. So while the recording quality, balance, and vocals are the not the best that they could be, it is the only recording of a not bad song. The recording has other positive attributes- the instrumental work, the freaky-deaky outro, and the stage lighting for example. If I had to say what would really help it, I would say that our lead singer Dan should have not backed away ...
