What should Al do now?

Since it looks like the NYE show will be a shambles and Jourgensen is now reduced to begging for money, what would be his best move?

  • Retire the name Ministry, but keep working under various guises.
  • Make amends with the Book Club and go on tour.
  • Keep on touring/recording as Ministry, but do specialist tours (e.g play a classic album in it’s entirety).

I think 2 and 3 have possibilities.

Ministry last played Chicago less than a year ago, so maybe he’d have more luck touring in cities that haven’t had a Ministry show in a while. Ministry hasn’t performed in Ottawa since 2006 or Montreal since 2008, so I think it could generate some excitement if they came back here.

Creatively, he’s done. Playing one of the classic albums live would stir up some interest. Depends on the album though. Likely Psalm 69. I think he’s chased away a lot of his fanbase though.

You think he could/would mend fences with the book club?

Only #3 is a possibility.

Isn’t he a History professor now?
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Marry someone rich, who was a ministry fan from way back. I think that’s his best hope right now.

No, but if he wants money over pride he will.

he should just do video game scores now. it’s probably the only way he can make a living. doesn’t even have to be for xbox or ps4, could be for games that are on your phone. he can probably do something loud and fast for a car racing game for instance.

his options are very limited, and the clock is ticking.

Pfff, What He Say is awesome. Best shit off of WS. I love mimicking the chorus when I can’t understand someone.

I would pay good money to see Al pay What He Say. R2, are you in?

Sure. I’d pay to see that too.

I think Al should buy a bro-bar. He could fill the walls with all Ministry and other assorted memorabilia and decor. And he could have a great time retelling stories about roadies raping ostriches and saying how he could suck his own hog. I would hope the Ministry burger gets prominent place on the menu.

It costs money to buy things.

This is why the rich wife makes so much sense. He marries a rich woman and then can open the bro-bar of his dreams!

Well, maybe he can parlay that moronic Patreon thing into something that actually works . . . .

For $20 a month or so, you get a VIP card for Al’s Bro Bar. This will get you discounts on food, some coupons, a free meal on your birthday, signed napkins, etc. They can use the income as up front capital to pay the lease and supplies needed to help keep things going.

AL’S BRO BAR PRESENTS THE FILTH PIG!!!
(Free pair of tickets to the concert if you finish the pig in 30 minutes or less)

2 pound mega Kielbasa sausage is laid on a bed of corned beef pastrami and served on a long jalapeno cheese bun which has been thoroughly spread with horseradish on one side and whole seed spicy brown mustard on the other. Topped with sautéed onions, mushrooms, sauerkraut, and slices of habanero. Hot dog is then covered with gruyere cheese and baked until slightly crispy on top and topped finally with crumbles of maple-smoked bacon.
