Reverend at last — April fools
Roger Glover has been ordained as a Minister in the Eucumenical Church of Pragmatic Absolute, writes our long time contributor who happens to be a member of the church.
When we reached for a comment from Roger himself, he said:
I’m most definitely not quitting music. I’ve been thinking about a second career on the side for a while now. Being a spiritual person all my life, this looked like a natural progression of things for me.
Reverend Glover is now authorized to officiate wedding, baptisms, bar mitzvahs, handfastings, samskaras, and other sacraments. Requests for service bookings are now accepted for a nominal fee plus travel expenses (if applicable).
Thanks to Hubert Jesslilt for the info.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
April Fools, haha

April 1st, 2014 at 00:39It doesn’t beat yours, Giorgi, if that is what it was… still waiting for the source but I think you’re pulling the leg for now. 😉 And what’s wrong with being an ordained minister? I’m one myself.
April 1st, 2014 at 00:41I can certify that. I’ll never forget with Larry presided over my wedding ceremony.
April 1st, 2014 at 00:56But sadly Roger becomes a minister two years too late. If Jon was still around, it would be the most requested pair for weddings.

April 1st, 2014 at 09:37Wow. Instead of a meet and greet give away…now the band can run a contest to get married with Deep Purple and charge $300 bucks for the privilege…minus flowers, tips and rings.
Happy April Fools Day!
April 1st, 2014 at 09:47Kind of weak April fools joke. The idea is to come up with something that might be believable. This is not close.

April 1st, 2014 at 10:53What a great news this is! Being a spiritual person myself, I warmly congratulate my fellow minister Glover for his spiritual journey from the dark alleys of rock’n’roll to this holy mission.

April 1st, 2014 at 14:20Good One. Nice and subtle.
Man, I actually was sucked into believing this one. Totally forgot about the date (I’m Retired). Here I was all excited to be seeing Roger in Biloxi in August and asking him to renew our Vows. He’d probably do it anyway, ordained or not. And he’ll supply the Heineken….. LOL.
