HBO Series Big Love Celebrates Christmas
I’m a huge fan of the HBO series Big Love, and I just about laughed myself silly when I stumbled across its latest promotion for the fourth season.
If you aren’t familiar with the series, it revolves around multiple families that practice “The Principle”: an old-style form of Mormonism that believes in polygamy. One group is a new style polygamy that lives a modern life, the other is a compound of multiple families known as Juniper Creek. The families in the compound are all creepy and generally unpleasant, but they believe they follow the truer form of The Principle.
All that aside, Roman Grant is The Prophet of Juniper Creek, and is played brilliantly by Harry Dean Stanton. Roman has many plots to make money, and has dabbled in music. Well, in this new promotion for the series, it is suggested that a Juniper Creek Christmas album has released. You can actually download the 8 tracks for free from the HBO site, or just sample the one song below. If you are familiar with the series, this is just laugh out loud funny. Enjoy!
