"Equal parts music and literature, a Pure Imagination episode is as likely to disturb the soul as it is to incite laughter, like a double-bill of Sufjan Stevens and David Sedaris."
-P. Scott Cunningham, Miami New Times

"While the other office peons languish through the Working Week in their muted wools and tweeds you perform your job with zest and pizzazz and a smoky, slow-cooked flavor, and everywhere you go there is the aroma of Hickory Brown Sugar and Success. Why wait for the weekend to enjoy yourself? Every day can be Saturday when you are smothered in barbecue sauce."

Matt! Just got back from the live show/book release (it was fantastic) and i had 2 questions for you. 1) I forgot to get cash ( like a loser) and I wanted to inquire as to whether your book is available online or a bookstore or even sweat?
2)When can I expect to hear the new 4th season of pure imagination?
Keep up the great work and thanks in advance Freddy.

In 27 days, it's all over.
The drilling ban that has kept so much of our shores free and clean of oil spills for the last 27 years will expire on Sept. 30 unless Congress takes action.
We have to make our voices heard now -- or almost all of our nation's coastal waters will be declared open for new drilling.
If you haven't already sent your no-new-drilling message to Congress, please do it today by clicking the link below. If you have already sent your message, you can still help by clicking here to spread the word to your friends and neighbors.
