Paul Thorn: Joanie, the Jehovah's Witness Stripper

I shot about 40 minutes of Paul's show from Delbert's 11th cruise. I am slowly trying to transfer tapes to hard drives and this is what is up on the queue.

[@stephaniesunderland1974]

I was a JW. Oh the stories I could tell. You could write a whole album. Thank you Paul✌🏻

[@dannalhobart]

I was raised as a Jehovah's Witness, and I knew plenty of teens and young adults in the congregation who were living double lives. The song rings totally true. I loved it.

[@julier1080]

Not just the teens, I used to buy tools from this old guy with a truck (like snap on style, but not that brand). He would cuss like a sailor. Found out later on he was a JW when he showed up at the door! Lol

[@user-be9lt4sx2r]

I was raised as a JW, I love this.

[@oceanamoore3564]

One of the BEST SONGS EVER. "If you can't get a Jehovah Wittness to talk to You, You might ought to shine up your social skills"❤❤

[@richardedwards7780]

As a JW I have to agree with this!!

[@Wolfie66]

I heard this on XM on my way home from work today and laughed my ass off!

[@amyroberts9254]

I LOVE THE WAY HE TALKS AND TELLS HIS STORIES!!!!!!!!GOOD MUSIC

[@charlestriplett6819]

Agreed. Your comment reminds me of a line in a song..."..I can't stand the way he sings but I love to hear him talk..."

We Love Paul Thorne at the King Biscuit Blues Fest Every Year!!!

[@russhoelscher9546]

Love this guy, can't stop humming or laughing, got out my kazoo! Can now play Joanie. Temporarily Forever Mine's next. Outstanding songwriter.

[@JEppsLars]

Wow. This is really good. Wish I'd heard this years ago

[@victoriahowell8462]

I have fallen in love with this man's talent, skill and love of story telling. Very glad his music made it's way to my life.

To think the wormy guy is still working at a tire shop in Biloxi....

[@Dr.LessCharacter]

Hey their fellow human I think that's PCish but had to stop when I saw Paul. My parents saw him many times & #sad4a47yroldboy my Dad passed from what Lil don wants to start selling to MAGOT, asbestos, WTF he really is a conservative he wants to lift us to a Civil War & reintroduce what has killed many nonsmoker & smoker Father's I know that were in the School system. So I betting around 1855 to 1930s my hero! Makin Amerca Greedy Again well top 1% of billionaires anyway! Oh damn I just realized UR POOR TOO! Dang that was a good time anyway!

Not sure what brought me here, but grateful! Great upload! ty ty

[@cynthiahendrix6491]

I love his stories that then become songs! Great guy! Won't miss his show when he comes to town!

[@Gweidemann]

I attended a Paul Thorn concert at a small intimate venue in Fort Wayne a few years ago. Really enjoyed his presentation and manner of delivery of his music to us in the audience. Also bought his "Pimps and Preachers" CD and like a bunch of those tunes he wrote, recorded, and performs.

[@kcglide]

I had a chance to see Paul live in Corinth MS. Opted to go back to Tupelo and J R's. Missed a great opportunity.

[@bryanfindley1438]

post as many as you can... I think PAUL is quite a talent BIG TIME AS A SONGWRITER, and of course AS A LIVE SHOW

[@MrJimmysez]

We would never let him play our town because Bald Paul seems like a self admitted pervert and asshole...spread the word! If I ever needed a tire repair in Corbin, Kentucky and saw that Bald Paul Thorn was the flunkie they sent, I would drive on the rim to the next town.

[@len2842]

@Skjeren Kristjenson ; many speak in obvious ignorance' there are perverts within all organizations, enemies of the Almighty choose to ignore that' what is the underlying reasons.. ? within the schools, clubs of various sorts' even in government' and sports as well' the difference is that Gods organization "the only one that is known by Gods name as its banner" the "one" that does what Jesus taught his followers to do' actually disciplines and excommunicate non repentant wrong doers. Judas Iscariot is a strong example of one that knew what he did was very wrong" and instead of taking up a fruitless attack on God' and his people..

[@len2842]

@Skjeren Kristjenson what name are they known by foremost' its foolish to blame and defame ones creator for bad that people do' if Noah went along with the rest of the world in his time' that would have been the end for all mankind' but' the God that Noah worshipped made a way out' for him.. The same God made it possible for anyone to gain everlasting life in a cleansed world and the wicked ones will be done away with' Psalms 37:9-11; what salvation is there in debase entertainment/ songs.. the many organization that refuse to know Jehovah do not appreciate the truth that Jesus was sent to make available to all wanting to leave the wicked ways of satans world and adapt to the Christ like personality.. truth sets us free from the bondage of lies' I hope all the best for you' and yours'

[@muddyruckus]

HA HA! Awesome. Great story telling and great energy, not to mention your voice and song. Excellent!

[@lindeezz]

Voice reminds me of Mitch Hedberg :)

[@MrJimmysez]

@@lindeezz Voice reminds me of a sick pervert let out of the prison psych ward a year too soon. Bald Paul, the pimp of a vulnerable teen girl, gets uglier every day. Satan chooses queer puppets, uses them. Sick Paul's ugly. Like a worm? Best gig "Paul the Bald" ever had was knocking the teeth out of hogs in Buford, Georgia before they hit the feedlot, so I hear. Allegedly.

[@leahcim3360]

First time I heard this tune ... Daddy started laughing.. not clapping. Lmao

[@chemistryinstruments7156]

Jehovah's witnesses talked to me, so it's true.

[@ccatdaddy64]

This song made me laugh. It is also very sad because if it is not actually a true story, it is a true commentary of how things are.financially for many folks. I made more money as an 18 y/o janitor back in the 80's than what I can make now as 40 something y/o man. If it was not for my pension from law-enforcement, I would be in a dire circumstance. The young gal might rather do anything else to make a decent wage, but it is not available and poverty is a lousy option.

That was fucking fantastic. So many things going on in this song. Daddy's gonna kill her for daring to get naked but hypocritically going in to see the strippers anyway.

About 3 years ago I brought home a little blue heeler puppy. At that time the JWs were coming up here about once a month and I would ask them to leave and after a bit of hemming and hawing and such they would go. About 6 months later I realized my little pup doesn't like visitors so I put up "beware of dog" signs where my driveway leaves the main dirt road. They came up here a few days later and my dog happened to be out and the lady drove right past the signs, came up the driveway and got out of the car with three of her JW lady friends. My dog lit into her before she had got five feet from the car. You have never seen people dive for a car faster than that day. It was a warm day so they had the car windows down when they got out and the dog tried to go through the car window to get one of them. They peeled out of my driveway so fast, spraying gravel and I could hear them screaming "drive! drive! drive!"...that was two and a half years ago now and they haven't been back since. I did let my dog keep the strip of clothing she ripped off the one lady's arm through the car window as her little chew toy for a while. Moral of the story, get yourself a good blue heeler, they don't like JWs either.
