with Art form Everclear, and his explaination of what his new video is about? If so, what do you think of what he had to saty? sounded like a bunch of BS to me.

Ok, so this Video depicts a man wearing a crown of thorns, betting on horses with names from the bible. So many would think he was dipicting Jese, here is transcribed in the dialogue between Art and Bill
The Factor had Art Alexakis, lead singer for the rock band Everclear, on the show to talk about his controversial new video. The Factor described the video: "Everclear has released a video that is designed to offend at least some followers of Jesus. In this video, esus is portrayed as having an orgy, meeting strippers, knocking out an old lady, stealing her necklace, stealing from a homeless man, drinking, driving at the same time." Alexakis did not agree with the Factor's portrayal: "It's not Jesus. This is a breakup song that I used to show a different face of hate. Everybody who goes through a breakup goes through a place where you're sad, where you're feeling lonesome, when you're feeling hate. Well, this is the part when you're feeling hate.

Everybody who goes through a breakup goes through a place where you're sad, where you're feeling lonesome, when you're feeling hate. Well, this is the part when you're feeling hate. But what we wanted to show in this video is a different face of hate. We could have gone political or we could have gone religious. The actor is wearing a crown of thorns, because he's a representation of what Jesus could be, if he had made the wrong choice." The Factor wasn't buying the explanation: "It's your opinion and you're entitled to it. You believe that this song has no relation to Jesus, the deity that millions of Americans believe in, it has no relationship to
Him at all."

Yes I saw it Art was the double talker this time around. He said that the guy being nailed to the cross wearing crown of thorns and betted on a horse race named barabus in the video had nothing to do with Jesus?? Come on who else is the video refering to then at the begining he said it did depict Jesus but only what happens if Jesus made the wrong choices....Come on we all know Jesus would have never made the wrong choices...People look up the actual transcripts and read it. Art is a singer with out professionalism and lack of education you should have watched the way he answered he hated being not in charge...He's just a big rock star kid.....

Maybe you could bother to tell us what he said for those of us without the opportunity to watch O'Reilly. Speaking of which, O'Reilly is only good for a laugh, he commands no respect.

He danced around the questions with double-talk. I think he was just messing with O'Reilly.

I believe your opinion of "Everclear" is correct, he needs to seek out a toilet.
