An ordained pastor of the American Lutheran Church, Rydgren laid out a heady trip of lysergic spiritual philosophy. Sincere, profund and yet deeply playful. Brother Johns mesmeric baritone waxed poetic about the big questions - Love, S3X, D3ath, W4r and Dr_gs (and Gods place in it all) - over a backbeat of fuzz guitars sitars, avant choirs and go-go drums.
From 1966 onwards Brother John broadcast his widely syndicated radio show "Silhouette" across the U.S.A. (and Vietnam), speaking directly to the Hippies, Heads and Jesus-Freaks in an engaging flower-power-patter.
