Song of the Day – Alexander Ebert – Truth
Alexander Ebert, lead singer of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, has a solo album coming out on March 1. I find this curious for several reasons (although I will only list two). First, I thought the lead singer of Edward Sharpe was, you know, Edward Sharpe, a later day messianic figure. In fact, my extensive research has revealed that Edward Sharpe is merely a fictional messianic figure created by Alexander while in rehab. I’m glad that’s been cleared up as I prefer my cult leaders to have a sense of self-deprecating irony. Nonetheless, I offer this tune with some resistance as I don’t like the idea of a leader leaving his cult, fictitious or otherwise. It’s hard to take a cult like that seriously (although, I suspect and fear, it might just be the kind of sleight of hand that could lure in more unsuspecting followers).
