Reverend Billy's 9/11 Peace Revival
Reverend Billy's 9/11 Peace RevivalMonday night September 11th at 6 PM, join us in song and fabulous prayer in the Spiegeltent at the South Street Seaport. The award-winning "Stop Shopping Gospel Choir" backs the Reverend in an evening of appreciation for those who have found a way to Peace from our tragedy of five years ago. Peace candidates such as Malachy McCourt and Jonathan Tasini will speak between hot gospel hits like "Back Away From That Wal-Mart" and "The Beatitudes of Buylessness."The Spiegeltent, an antique European tent once used by Marlene Dietrich for her Blue Angel hymn "Falling in Love Again," is rounded by teak and stained glass. Set up behind the Fulton Fish Market, it is the stage for some 90 artists performing in August and September. The 9/11 Peace Revival will be the 5th of a series of eight shows for the Church, concluding on October 1st. This fall will see the release of What Would Jesus Buy? (Reverend Billy Saves Christmas from the Shopocalypse), Morgan Spurlock's second feature film after Super Size Me. The film will be released before Buy Nothing Day, the high holy day of the Stop Shopping Church. A book of the same title, written by the Reverend, is also forthcoming from Public Affairs Books.
