Flashback: Visit from "What's Your Name?"

Anyone remember Jesus look-alike Carl Joseph, the barefoot evangelist who wondered around the Linglestown area in 2000 only packing his cotton robe and Bible? He was referred to in the media as "What's Your Name?"

I went to hear him give a speech before a packed house at Holy Name of Jesus' gymnasium.

According to a Toledo Blade article published last spring, Carl is still doing his thing in Alabama, but he is now leading a stationary life due to knee problems from many years of pounding the pavement without shoes.

He is the subject of a documentary film entitled The Jesus Guy. CLICK HERE to view a nicely done Web site on the film.

The Web site includes a film trailer (QuickTime file). It features comments by Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta, who has received national media attention for his tough stance against illegal immigrants.
