Famous band with Arkansas tie makes fun of an even more famous band with Arkansas ties

If you're good at the Internet, you've probably seen this music video by Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. It's a parody of bands like Green Day (which features locals Jason White and Jeff Matika) who turn albums into musicals.

Hot Springs native Chris Wilson is the hirsute Pharamist. He plays a priest in the parody musical. "He died because he didn't believe in the power of punk," he lip syncs.
