The Rev Gonna Work Your A@$ Up!

The Reverend Al Green sounds like he'll offer up some kind of entertainment at Chet Culver's Iowa One Gala Thursday night.

Here's what he told the Cedar Rapids Gazette:

"Oh yeah! We gonna work your ass up and down, boy! We gonna curl your hair all over, boy!’’ says Green, calling from his home in Memphis, Tenn. ‘‘My band has been doing this show for eight years, and they are just baaaaaad! They’re TIGHT! Tight, tight, tight, tight, tight. TIGHT!"
