Ellis Paul and Steve Poltz Re-Enact The Weirdest News Story of the Day

by theshark

Before you do anything, watch this clip of our man Ellis Paul talking about the first song he ever wrote:

Well versed in Ellis’ first jingle? Good. Now check out this confession from self confessed Chuck Norris and Patrick Swayze fanatic Steve Poltz:

Interesting clips, right? But what’s the connection? And why did I insist that you watch them before reading onward? Well this morning I got an email from a crazed fan with a link to this story that she found on The Smoking Gun.

First of all, well done, crazed fan. Pure comedy gold. And bonus creepy mugshot to boot! So I read the story, had a good chuckle, copied the mugshot to my desktop for future Photoshopping purposes, and then logged on to Uncensored Interview. Here’s where the stars aligned perfectly, and for the first time in my life, I started believing in a higher power: The first two clips that I happen to randomly click on and watch were the above Ellis Paul and Steve Poltz ditties, which, when combined, eerily retell The Smoking Gun story with scary accuracy.

Take Ellis’ first song:
“A small time farm boy (Dude was from a small Pennsylvania town, and could easily have access to farming equipment)
Headed off to FIGHT for FREEDOM (FOUGHT with his brother [actually stabbed is the better word] over which Democratic nominee would best lead the country to FREEDOM)

Now rewatch the Steve Poltz clip. Yeah, he just talked about having things shoved into his chest, ribcage, and stomach. What did the guy in the story do to his brother? Stabbed the motherfucker right in the stomach.

So there you have it, Uncensored Interview is not only THE repository for all things Indie, it also predicts the future!
