   where Doc had the band play that song before he preached? It seemed like   
   dozens of people got up in a panic to flee out of there. He must have known   
   there were a lot of guests    
   that day and was suspicious about them. Maybe a group of some affiliation   
   booked reservations to check Doc out that day? I suspect they actually thought   
   John was singing fuck instead funk. It was a good laugh.

   I remember the song too, from the first time he had them sing it, and do not   
   remember anyone leaving.  I do remember an attitude of general agreement, like   
   a collective 'yeah', get the funk out.  And, of course, funk was meant to be   
   interpreted as get    
   the fuck out, Scott used to hold up several fingers and say this is multiples   
   of the one finger salute.  He was a little boy in way over his head... what is   
   that, 'the Peter Principle', rising to the level of one's incompetence, he   
   certainly did, and he    
   dug a hole for himself and just kept digging.  Melissa keeps digging the hole   
   he left for her.  The only one who got 'it' after thirty five years, 'it'   
   never having been defined, what ever it is...  Angry angry people they are   
   thinking the world owes    
   them for their existence for which everyone must pay.
