Those are guest passes for Suwannee Hulaween, a music festival here in North Florida. Looks like Glo went to do something relatively fun, for once.

Now I'm unsettled by the fact that I may have been in the same place as Gloria.
 
@VikingBoyBilly This is just fucking sad, dude.

You are the first person I've met with a German televangelist fetish. Congratulations.

Actually, I'd say Günter is more of a musical evangelist than a televangelist, as this concept of religious shows on TV doesn't really exist in Germany (especially not in the 70s when he started out, there where only a few state-run TV channels in Germany back then).

Günter's main method for converting the heathens was singing Christian songs and writing books about it.

Günter singing a Christian song to the tune of Hatikvah:

He's a better singer/musician than his offspring:
(she just doesn't have any flow at all)
 
Wait a minute.

Looks suspiciously like someone I've seen before...

It's a coincidence, but a happy one nonetheless. He honestly looks like David Tennant if he went crazy and started to play the guitar.

Why is the photo mirrored? Does she want to fool people into thinking that she was in the driver's seat?

Joke's on you, it was only mirrored in order not to confuse people. In reality, the photo was taken in UK and she actually is sitting in the driver's seat. #jetsetting #rollingincash #gloriaalsohasaferrariinitaly #dumbfantheory
 
I wonder how Gunther's efforts to distribute the Maradonia movie are going, I'd love for him to have something announced for this month like he said they would but I'd imagine the odds of that are extremely low.

Also Waterman was telling me that the main appeal for him is the Maradonia books themselves. He seems to think there's an absolute tonne of ironic laughs to be had and can't understand why we focus so much on Gloria, the person, instead of Maradonia. I have no idea why he leaves the comments he does though, I guess what he says makes him laugh at how brilliant and witty he is. Whether he realises or not that nobody else shares the same enthusiasm for his jokes is beyond me.

This coming from the man whose magnum opus is an Ed Edd n' Eddy/Twilight crossover. Oh wait, it's meant to be ironic.

I doubt Gloria can play any musical instrument

I'm rather sure he was able to strum along on it while singing religious songs.

During the Hippie era in the 1970s, a large number of protestant revival movements sprung up all across Europe. While these movements didn't agree with many of the values and ideas of the Hippies (that is, most of them opposed smoking weed and the more conservative ones were adamantly against free love), they still tried to copy the look and feel of the Hippie movement because it was the cool and modern thing to do. As Hippies are known for playing guitars or ukuleles to accompany their singing while traveling the world, the protestant revivalists adopted this type of instrument too. Günter probably started out in this social environment.

Even today, in Germany there exists the well-known stereotype of the young and hip protestant preacher who wears sandals and other Hippie-inspired articles of clothing, likes to sit around campfires with teenagers while playing happy Jesus songs on his guitar and spouts sentences like: "Hey y'all, know who's cool? Jesus is cool, cuz he's my coolest homie!! Jesus is one hyper-awesome kewl space cowboy!!!"

Holy fuck. Just like how almost every photo that Glo-Glo posts has been PhotoShopped (or taken from somewhere else) that song is the most completely AutoTuned and ProTooled piece of crap I've ever listened to.

Is there anything about Glo-Glo that is real?

We've got those types in the States as well. Some Catholic churches even still have guitar masses here!

And of course, you guys kind of got the whole guitar-strumming longhaired-vagabond thing going with the Wandervogel. (Although the thought of Herr Tesch skinny-dipping in some Alpine lake doesn't bring to mind a very pleasant image....)

I'll be brutally honest, he's obviously never read past the first five chapters of the first book. The lols dry up after the first five and generally the book becomes a slog to get through because of the terrible and bland description. There are a few to be had for certain but to become obsessed with it's shittiness makes you significantly more autistic than most. Even I,despite my strange obsession for this series, have breaks and certainly don't have the time to ween my way into Tesch's facebook group to leave ironic comments.

In answer to the last sentence, he thinks he's hilarious. No one else does though.
