I dunno what they said later, but when it happened he was not happy with the show. And he was on Jimmy Kimmel very recently, too, still not too happy about the South Park stuff.

And from a Scientologist's perspective, I suppose his reasoning made sense. They didn't satirize Scientology, they flat out insulted it. However, Scientology is insult-worthy. So...

AVC: They did just do an episode that made fun of your religion, Scientology. Did that bother you?
IH: Well, I talked to Matt and Trey about that. They didn't let me know until it was done. I said, "Guys, you have it all wrong. We're not like that. I know that's your thing, but get your information correct, because somebody might believe that shit, you know?" But I understand what they're doing. I told them to take a couple of Scientology courses, and understand what we do. [Laughs.]




That was the interview I was trying to find. He probably was more vocally upset about it after a few auditing sessions.

Goodbye Isaac. Your version of Jimmy Webb's "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" absolves you of any Scientology shenanigans.

Damn what's going on? Rest in peace Chef.

I was actually mad about his passing. Like Bernie Mack dying started that fire, but this was the gas canister that exploded.

Seriously bummed, R.I.P.

Shit, have we all got to pretend we liked Isaac Hayes now?

I can't keep up:( .

Oi. None of that.

I always appreciate these threads about news events because I live in a mountainside bunker where there's no cable, internet, or phone.

Ha ha ha. It's called, um, death. I hear it happens once in a lifetime.

He deserves an oscar for his role in Robin Hood: Men In Tights

isaac hayes was a soul master, but I prefer Curtis Mayfield.

He gets the ignorance award for not knowing about how racist L. Ron Hubbard was.

you gots that right

I think the "Man" (from Don't Be A Menace)did it.

Thank fuck for that, or else Will Smith would claim first dibs!


Anyway, ignorant Scientology moron or not, I still love the theme from Shaft. Also, I still owe it to the man to post the "original" for that Wu-Tang youtube in my first post.

Velvet Monkeys vs. Issac Hayes, 1986...


Could there have been a more profoundly prescient tribute?
