Ben Twisted returns fire, grazes target
The sensitive comedic artist known as Ben Twisted, inexplicably stung by remarks I clearly meant as supportive and encouraging, has issued a rebuttal on his own blog.
I only happened to mention Ben as an afterthought during a frank, recent discussion of Steve Wheatley’s fine, fine power-pop podcast, the daily Dalecast.
But Ben, a West Virginia coal miner who strums guitar in his spare time, was surprised by this unfamiliar blast of publicity. Took it all wrong. Had plenty to say in return. Used words you use when you’re hurt, wanna hurt back.
In the interest of fairness, I present Ben’s remarks here, unedited (except to correct the more egregious grammatical errors. He is from West Virginia, after all):
Ben Twisted Diagnosed With Turetzky Syndrome
Ben Twisted gets slapped by the long arm of a two-bit guitar-playin thinks-he’s-funnyman by the name of Ken Turetzky. Runnin his yapper (with seemingly no shutoff valve) from the security of his far-away home in Dallas, Texas, Ken avoids a good-ol’ West Virginia buttkickin’ for rambling on about Dalecast (which is, of course, Ben’s favorite podcast), and saying of its host:
On podcast and radio stream alike, Steve continues to promote new artists, such as up-and-coming loser Ben Twisted, of Eat More People and Vasectomy fame.
Yet Ken continues to pump out such never-to-be classics as The Ballad Of Morris The Cat and dares to show his face on YouTube videos like Why Don’t You Get a Job (a question you want to ask him after hearing Ken sing).
I’d go on, but Ken’s story is just too pathetic and sad.
OK, all jokes aside. I’ve gotta admit — I like these crazy f*ckers. Steve plays the hell out of my tracks on Dalecast, and Ken makes me laugh. Sure, I laugh AT him instead of WITH him, but hey…that still counts. Right?
Rock on my friends. Thanks for mentioning my name.
What did I tell you? Guy’s crazy, right?
