I was sorry to see the strange and verbally surreal, stream of consciousness HBO show "John of Cincinnati" cancelled. It was a very interesting brew of down and out characters - drifters, grifters, dealers, addicts, porn stars, surf bums and hustlers of every stripe mixed in a way that suggested there was a spiritual life below the surface.
Perhaps John who speaks like the alien in "Starman" may have a pipeline to his father, who if not God, is pretty high up in the hierarchy or is he an alien or just mentally challenged?
After a lot of crazy stuff happens, Sean, fourteen, a champion surfer and son of an ex-surf champ disappears and so does John. SPOILER- We fear for the worse, but then like a spiritual blast through the veil comes - Watch the video. Lookout for "John of Cincinnati" on DVD.
