Plot Summary Alfred Eaker's Jesus And Her Gospel Of Yes was definitely a trip. As in a journey. the non-stop bombardment of images and anti-rhetoric was liberating and exhausting simultaneously. It reminded me of Hobbs' Roseland (and other psychedelic Something Weird titles), the Sub-Genius film Arise!, Kenneth Anger, and the low-rent lunacy of Michael D Moore (the 'other' Michael Moore)... all fused into one jaw-dropping melange. craziness of the first order...and that is a recommendation.
