Temple Beautiful is named after a long closed rock and roll club which was between Bill Graham’s iconic Fillmore and the tragic storefront church founded by the Reverend Jim Jones. According to Prophet, “These songs off my new record. It’s a very SF-centric record. I’ve been tapping into the history, the weirdness, the energy and spontaneity that brought me here in the first place.”

All the songs are SF related somehow. There are the people and there is the history that flows through all of us here. There is the music too. And the characters including Laughing Sal, the Tonkin Gulf, Willie Mays, Red Man, Jim Jones, Dan White and many more.
