A three-panel picture of Brother Russell, his character Melba Jackson, & his character Howard Gently.
Corporate Standardized Programming (Episode XIII)


On this program: a three-hour long tribute to Brother Russell, who died May 17. The culture-jammer & prank caller known for his subversive recordings was one of my oldest & dearest friends & a brilliant musician as well, so in addition to some of his more well-known recordings, I include songs he wrote & performed, as well as some collaborations, which were never released. In addition, in his later years he appeared on my show Self Help Radio as my spiritual advisor the Rev Dr Howard Gently, in improvised interviews, a few of which are included here. The last hour of the show is music he chose for a different radio show last year. He will be greatly missed.

The image above contains two images, purportedly of his characters Melba Jackson (on the left) & Howard Gently (on the right). They are in the public domain. The photograph of Russell in the middle was taken by me in or around 1994.

Many of his prank calls are available still at his Bandcamp page.
