Elsewhere: Mo' folk, Mo' rock!

For readers who have enjoyed the Mormon folk songs that have appeared on A Motley Vision, check out Justin Butterfield's blog Mormon Wasp for the lyrics to a song called The Reformation. Written by LDS convert Philip Margetts in 1856, it includes the priceless lines: " God bless the wife that strives/ And aids her husband all she can/ T' obtain a dozen wives." In addition, Justin has a more recent post on Mormon polygamy folklore. Good stuff.

In response to John Hesch's A Motley Vision interview, LDS musician and blogger Mark Hansen has some comments (and a call to arms!) on his Mo' Boy Blog about the lack of good Mormon rock and dance music.

ALSO: Here at A Motley Vision, Typophile's Jared Benson has contributed an analysis of the font choices for the cover of the Doubleday edition of the Book of Mormon (scroll down to comments section).
