It should be noted that Mr. Shann Ray is most certainly a so-called "Born-Again" Christian and his readings are accompanied by uncomfortable Christian Praise and Worship style songs sung by his guitar-strumming wife. Perhaps Mr. Paul Constant and Mr. Dave Eggers were unaware that this was the case, hence their endorsement. But in my opinion, in case you are are prepared to drink away the bad memories with double shots of whiskey do not waste your time going to hear Mr. Ray.
He was one of the reasons I went to the HS basketball games when I was in middle school **SWOON!!**
