We received a photo of The Besmirchers‘ frontman Lenny Mental counter-protesting a man of God at the Fourth Avenue Winter Street Fair, but don’t click through if you’re offended by strong language.
Regular folks like you and me just walked on by, ignoring these religious people damning the innocent atheists, masturbators, faggots, freaks, dykes, cameltoes, abortionist, feminists and pre-marital sexers to hell for eternity. But not Lenny. Lenny said what’s on everybody’s mind, but did it with a sharpie and a neon-hued sign.
Punk rock will never die because Lenny won’t let it.

I have a new hero! Thanks Lenny!
Thank you, Lenny! A Tucson icon.
Wasn’t be part of the original “gutterpunk” movement? He’s a tucson legend!
Lenny Mental is such a badass dude. Fuck yeah!
The Jesus Freak misspelled Atheists on his sign…
Awesome!!!!!!!!
He misspelled ‘masturbators’ too. All that jaggin’ off has ruined his eyes.
That God dude had his fly down when we walked by! Pretty sure he’s going to hell for that!
Keep Tucson Lenny!!!
Dikes? I can go further and say I’m in favor of all forms of defensive embankments, whether for noise-abatement or weather-related protection.
I had to deal with these guys three days there, they did not like me wearing a Marijuana is Safer than Alcohol tee shirt and collecting signatures for Safer Arizona’s cannabis and hemp legalization measure. I studied the bible for years and went to a Baptist college in the 80’s they could never give me chapter and verse when asked. They preach hate which is a sin. These people turn more people from god then they turn to god.
We heard this preacher twice while we were busking on Saturday. Told him he needed better lyrics. Just a troll with a cross.
Lenny, always loved you when I was in Tucson (my teen years-age 21 in the scene) now I have a heartfelt respect for you. Love that you quoted scripture.
LENNY RULES! The scripture he guoted was a nice touch. But “I love…” says it all.
Wow, great sign and a great Punker!
I have to share the photo on my FB!
Good on you Lenny!
Why did that guy attack drunkards on his sign? What did I do?
Burnie, for one, you keep shilling Dos Equis. C’mon, bro.
