Sketch Erickson ‎– "Sketch Sounds Off" (FourMost Productions ‎– FM-6919CS) 1971



Join the "Decency Rebellion" with some clueless bastard called 'Sketch' Erickson, on a holy crusade to not rest until he turns all teenagers away from religion. He uses unintentional reverse psychology to make christians look like thee most idiotic, completly naff, joyless stiffs that they undoubtedly are.
I love that sketch,by Sketch himself, on the back cover of our hero chatting casually with a 'Teenager'.If there was ever a better capture of the word and meaning of 'Patronizing' then I wanna see it.
If any teen actually listened to this absurd album, they would have become an athiest within the first thirty seconds.
The distinctly ungroovy Sketch, lets Pop Culture have it with both barrels pointing at himself.How Pop art is rubbish,pop music is lustful propaganda from Satan,while tactically admiting that there are actually some 'good' movies,art,and music.....i don't believe you Sketch;he hates all of it,and probably teenagers too.
The only way to break through the shallowness of the pop world is to be a follower of Jesus Christ,says Sketch.....there simply is no other way.
This Religious spoken-word LP with hilariously dated skits about how you can't tell the boys from the girls anymore,and more embarassingly rigid thinking, is essential listening for all you Satan worshipping pop fans everywhere.
By now Sketch has probably discovered, as he slipped away from this mortal coil, that nothing happens after the last round-up.Its just a pity he's not around to burn this ridiculous LP before he returns to  the oblivion from whence he,and we all, sprung.

Ol’ Sketch looks like he could have had his pick of those rose cheeked little cherubs on the cover. See how he makes that little girl tingle? (brrrrrrr…. creepy has a new personae) Why, that disgruntled teen on the back could well have been me. Why oh why didn’t I listen and, you know, repent, give him all my worldly possessions and follow him? It’s too late now; https://www.theledger.com/article/LK/20031103/News/608122461/LL/ Can’t even view the corpse. Dang! I’d concede every point he cared to make about pop culture, then and now, but the whole package provides able evidence that this profit was obviously sketchy enough to earn the name. I went to a local thrift shop today and thumbed my way through five large crates containing scores of christian albums and none where nearly as eye-catching as this. Can’t wait to give it a spin and transform my misguided, meaningless life. I’ll letcha know if it takes.

Its never too late to offer yourself to the lord. Depends which lord i suppose? In the UK there"s lots of Lords.....you can find them hanging around the toilets and bushes on Hamstead Heath every evening,after a hard day running the country in the house of lords.
I'll only believe Sketch is really dead if they produce a body. I believe he"s still roaming the earth looking for souls to steal.He can't steal mine unfortunatly as i'm a white man and have no soul; probably the only thing i have in common with the late Sketch.

Well, it's a well known fact that a soul can get you in a lot of trouble. I had mine removed after it got infected. It cold have killed me otherwise.

Sketch was one of several traveling evangelists I saw as a teenager who gave extensive presentations about the Satanic influences behind popular music and culture. At the time, and for years afterward, my response was basically the same as the rest of this page. But it has become evident that, whatever their personal motives may have been, they didn't know how right they were. Many, many celebs are gender inverted, in politics they don't even hide it anymore. And a sickening number of the elites in entertainment, sports, politics, media, and religion, have for a long time been consuming adrenochrome obtained from the blood of children who are tortured and abused in Satanic rituals. It goes all the way up to the perverted popes, and the lid is even now being blown off, they're unmasking the whole Satanic cabal that's been poisoning everything and attempting to genetically modify and socially engineer all of us. Some have already been tried and hung and replaced with doubles, to ease public awareness into the truth and prevent societal collapse. It's all coming down. It's OK of you think I'm nuts. It sounds nuts. It IS nuts. But you'll see it yourself. Greetings from the new Republic. #THEGREATAWAKENING

Well, Amomymous...i'm not gonna dismiss you as some kinda nut,as there is a certain amount of truth in there,especially as the world does seem to be turning upside down. Rebellion has been replaced with new internet born methods of rejecting yer elders,who are frightened to death of gender politics,and being berated at every opportunity by their judgmental offspring in this new distorted version of political correctness. We are frightened of our kids,like in The Village Of The Damned (check the film out original version please).....We Know What You're Thinking ,they say... My daughter thinks i'm a bigot because i don't indulge in non-binary punctuation or grammar. Of course she has come out as Non-Binary too....and doesn't speak to me no more.
Don't believe in Satan however, as i'm an agnostic...this is all man made nonsense that the fashionista's of the 21st century Internet ruled have swallowed as real. The Machines are doing it.....and the laughing Robots gleefully store the falling birth rate stats on a special hard drive.
Dunno about blood from babies, but there are stem cells in fetus's waiting for harvest.....just sayin'.
