Meet Reverend Billy.
Fifteen years ago, he was known to the world as developing performance artist Bill Talen. Over time — and with the help of several friends — Talen developed a persona whose mode of preaching mirrored that of a televangelist; only this reverend styled his blond-highlighted hair in a pompadour, and his sermons couldn’t have differed more from his telegenic predecessors.
Thanks for being a member.
