Musician Sean Altman is 'Taller, Than Jesus' By Emily Hulme April 15 2008 Singer Sean Altman considers himself a secular Jew, but is nonetheless passionate about his culture. Just in time for Passover, he's released an album celebrating his heritage. But lest you think he's getting too deep, keep in mind that his act is called Jewmongous, and the album, "Taller Than Jesus," includes songs titled, "Be My Little Shabbos Goy" and "They Tried to Kill Us (We Survived, Let's Eat)."
