Johnny Appleseed stayed celibate because two ghost women promised a wild threesome in heaven.
As heard by us
Johnny Appleseed is rendered through odd details and ghost-sex banter, giving the portrait a shaggy, absurd edge.
Johnny Appleseed is treated less like a tidy folk hero than a stack of strange, concrete details. He carries Swedenborg's books in satchels, tears out pages for families, shows up preaching uninvited, and, when he is worn out, lies down on the floor.
Why you'd press play
You want Johnny Appleseed history with the wheels already halfway off.
