Bradlee Dean is the founder and executive director of the non-profit teen ministry with the inordinately long name You Can Run But You Cannot Hide International. He hosts a nationally syndicated radio show, The Sons of Liberty. He produced a documentary, My War, to “give understanding and clarity of who our Founders were and their true intentions when they established this Judeo-Christian nation.” He’s the drummer for the band Junkyard Prophet, which plays hard, funky, loud, and fast Christian rapcore-nu metal music. Wikipedia tells us that Heaven’s Metal, a Christian heavy metal magazine, named Junkyard Prophet the second best unsigned band in the 1990s. Michele Bachmann was sprayed with glitter in Minnesota by a gay-rights activist who was upset with Bachmann’s support for Dean and his ministry. On the other hand, Dean has been quoted as describing former President George W. Bush as a “punk, lyin’ stinkin’ kid,” while maintaining former Vice-President Dick Cheney is a “straight-up liar” who “will be in Hell pretty soon.”
So, are we surprised that the group performs behind a chain-link protective fence (above) reminiscent of the “Rawhide” scene from the Blues Brothers movie? In this instance, form follows function, and no one can criticize that kind of style.
