Pure Imagination

About Me

"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."
