Lee M. Bartow, AKA Theologian Prime (Theologian, Annihilvs Power Electronix)

SPB: Do you have a favorite type of van or bus?

Bartow: Here I am with my friend and bandmate Fade Kainer's van, while stopping for a leg stretch in Vermont en route to Montreal in June 2015. This 2003 Ford E350 has been modified with a welded steel cage where the last two benches used to be, perfect for the countless touring bands who have used this vehicle to crisscross North America a great many times. This van has taken me to Montreal three times and up and down the east coast more times than I can recall. It's taken me from New York to Chicago, from Austin, Texas to Pittsburgh and home to New York again. This is my favourite van in the world, and some day I hope to own one just like it.
