Faith's Famous Forebear

Paul was being modest when he merely mentioned that John Morton signed the Declaration of Independence, and held various legal offices. If you check out the internet you will find he had a long and illustrious life with numerous achievements. For example: he was one of the founding members of a "stringed quartet" known as the Electric Eels.

One of the things I love about the internet is how you can get off on a tangent and follow it forever. I've been checking out this John Morton of the Electric Eels. He formed a band that was anti-everything before punk was invented. Critics seeking the word that best describes their music settled on the term "obnoxious". They only performed 6 times and each performance ended in violence and police arrests. The big debate on the internet revolves around whether The Electric Eels were "truly inept" musically or whether they were faking ineptness for the sake of art. Now you can find ads on the internet for John D. Morton offering his services in graphic design. He is the John Morton who wreaked havoc as the founder of the white supremacist, pro-nazi, hate everything Electric Eels.
