...outburst was the talk of the town for days afterward. Some thought he had gone too far on the politics and gore, though even some of the town's most conservative citizens were sympathetic. "Coming back from a place like that, everybody understands," says Tim Clark, music and outreach minister at the mayor's church, Bradford Baptist.
