Dog Called Man by Cloud
Imagine a 40 foot Dog terrorizing a town by eating its religion. That’s the starting point for, “A Dog Called Man” by Abraham Cloud. Sounds a little like Bob Dylan being backed by REM. But remember, “The Missionaries left on Ferries bound for foreign sanctuaries. ” Find it on the CD, “Voyage To Afghanistan.”

Voyage to Afghanistan by Abraham Cloud
Although I don’t think you can reach it by boat , maybe that’s the point. A “Voyage To Afghanistan” is an impossible dream. An unreachable goal. An unthinkable thought.
