Gertrude Behanna - God Isn’t Dead!

Posted on May 29, 2006 by goatboy

God Cover

Here is the "highly personal story" of Mrs. Gertrude Behanna, a story of alcohol, drug addiction, three broken marriages and attempted suicide. Just look at Gertrude, doesn't she exude the aura of misbehavior and a youth gone wild?! But who am I to know. Maybe God healed her visage of all that was ugly and wrong and replaced it with the happiness pictured here. Besides, she must have been bad - just look at the syringe and tormented sillouette in the lower right hand corner of the sleeve. I haven't listened to this whole story yet, but I have listened to enough to know that Gertrude was quite a card, and managed to entertain and crack her audience up numerous times.

I made a mothers day card out of parts of that cover. Specifically, the tormented sillouette.

I’ve always loved this cover. Totally demonic.

i might be confusing this record with another one, but isn’t amy sedaris’s charater in strangers with candy party based on mrs. behanna?

I have this record- it changed my life. Just kidding. But I do have it. Do you have any Jerry Falwell lps? They’re fun too.

No, no Falwell LPs, although I would think of picking some up if I came across them. Especially if they had covers nearly this amusing!

I am new to this sight. I’ll have to get my 12 year old to teach me how to scan covers & then I can send over some samples. Got some strange ones.
The scuzzier the junk stores the more likely to find them, for some reason.

i picked up this record in a thrift store in sacramento a few weeks ago along with another record by her called “women — be women!” which details how women should focus their lives on being wives and mothers. the cover isn’t as cool as this one, but features a rather unflattering drawing of our dear gert.
