I’m not sure what Tina Turner was talking about when she sang “We Don’t Need Another Hero.” Are you crazy, Tina Turner! We need SO MANY other heroes! We’re running through the heroes we’ve got at breakneck speed. More heroes, please. Can we get some new heroes in here. Heroes, STAT! (That last one was a doctor talking to a nurse about heroes.) Tomorrow, of course, we will have to start all over again and get another hero (which, I’m sorry, Tina, that we definitely NEED) because we will already have used up today’s hero, but for today, at least, let us just enjoy him. His name is T.V. John and he is here to save us. HELLO, T.V. JOHN, THANK YOU FOR SAVING US!
Previous Hero: Mark Gormley. (Via DangerousMinds.)

**Son of Gabe, ask your parents about Seinfeld.
Gabe doesn’t watch Seinfeld. Too modern.
You mean that girl from the K Mart commercial?
I get the reference, physically I’m 13, emotionally I’m 37.
you’re like Manny from Modern Family
Maybe I should change my name to “Son of Sofia Vergara”.
That would make the thoughts you’re going to start having soon horribly inappropriate.
Ever get that thing where the reply button dissapears from the bottom of the page? Anyway this a reply to facetaco

I met a guy named T.V. John once. I found him on Craigslist. I think that was a different kind of TV, though.
TeleVangelist?
Texas Vision, actually – from San Antonio
that’s right – it is NOT transvestite
You guys, I’m worried about Morrissey.
Sorry guys, can’t talk right now. I have 15,000 shares of Maxern Records to buy!!!!
Well dont buy now, TV John already signed with Interscope
Shit. SELL SELL SELL!!!

So that’s where Daniel Johnston went
Dad?
Yes, son?
Did I ever tell you he’s my hero? I’m literally the wind beneath his wings.
You’re the wind beneath his sweat-wicking shorts.
from his website:
Known to musicians as “the dream man”, John’s claim to fame is having recorded over 3,000 songs accappella from his dreams without his knowing how to play a musical instrument. Acclaimed as “the most interesting personality of our time”, T.V. John started having songs come to him in dreams after God spoke to him in a dream in 1985. These “dream songs” provide the inspiration for all songs performed by The Legendary Band.
Prehistoric Guy Who Invented the Concept of Music:
“I’m… I’m so sorry. If I had known it would eventually lead to this I never would have… I’m just so, so sorry.”
“Music is the voice of God.” ~Al Jolson
“Spies Everywhere” is clearly the best song. Of all songs. I really like the lyric, “the furniture has ears, the furniture has ears,” at which point a circle is drawn around an elephant, because, of course it is.
Yes! I was coming to comment on the elephant!
Also, I think there’s a duet to be had between this guy and the goth kids from that Jogger video. They seem like they’d all get along so well.
the beauty of the scene at the line “camera’s are watching” is that he is probably just dancing on the street to no music and there are passers-by taking video of “dude dancing on the street” thus further illustrating the pervasiveness of our surveillance culture.
you got it!
I love how in the 3rd video he helpfully circles the baby elephant as a potential spy. Spies everywhere you guys!
I know Mark Gormley. And you, sir, are no Mark Gormley.
I could dye my gray hair light brown, grow a mustache and put on a pair of glasses – and then I WOULD look just like a twin brother!
Wow.
I got nothing against this guy. He’s probably really happy! He’s doing something that makes him happy (hopefully! If this makes him unhappy I’m not certain why he would do it,) and doesn’t (technically) hurt anyone. I think we should all be lucky enough to find something that makes us feel that (apparent) level of joy. You know, other than a stranglewank.
I’m not a punk, it’s plain to see, but I am happy as I can be!
I can’t be the only one that thinks “No Pay, No Play” sounds like a Velvet Underground demo.
Thanks – all my songs are demos
When Superman flew I still didn’t believe a man could fly. But now I do.
