HoJo is a Mormon!

Post by Metal Bubba »

For those of you old enough to remember Howard Jones and his string of hits in the 80s, you surely remember the urban legend that he is a Mormon. Now that he'll be making an appearance on BYUtv's "The Song That Changed My Life", will the true believers finally be vindicated?

Personally, being a big fan of Alice Cooper, I look forward to the show where he reveals he's Mormon too.

When is the show?

I have always enjoyed his "No One is To Blame."

Sometime in the next couple weeks. I barely caught the commercial during the Weber State game. But it piqued my interest for sure. His album "Dream Into Action" is one of my favorite pop albums of the 80s. I still have it on CD, even though I lost the tape before I went on my mission.

Does he smell like sex like all the HoJo motels do?

Sad to say - I haven't even heard of him. I spent the eighties raising kids and working. I was completely ignorant of anything happening in music and pop culture at the time. Funny how that works. I grew up with the music of the 60's and 70's. Anything after that just kind of melded together into "other stuff". Maybe I should get out more! :blush:

Alice Cooper's grandfather was an apostle/leader of one of the sects that broke off when Joseph Smith died. I think they followed Sidney Rigdon.
