I’m no religious fanatic by any means, and believe me, if the Catholic Church could toss me in a cell for irreverence, it would, since I tend to make fun of its ongoing hypocrisy…however, Jesus, when I think about it, is my kinda guy.

Dating Jesus
We know he cooks since he made brunch for his friends the Apostles, a great name for a rock band by the way. He could be the front man, since he looks the part, long wavy hair, rail thin, like any hot rock and roller, and did love to sing, a cappela remember, belting out hymns when the mood struck and remember, it’s pretty much how he got the name, Jesus Christ Superstar.
Now, if he’d just lose those sandals, then we’d be talkin’.

Oh Susannah, definitely a rock star, but not a head banger. I recall seeing Jesus Christ Superstar at SPAC back in 1971. I could be wrong, things were a bit fuzzy back then, ha ha!
You know how to pick them,

That was a great play. I’ve seen it more than once. A silly piece that came from who knows where. Things just appear on the page Skinny, making even you wonder, who wrote them, through you. 🙂

Oh no … The Vatican is certainly going to toss you into the brink for this one. Interestingly, I recently learned that Harrison Ford is a good carpenter. He picked up the love for woodworking from his father. Oh … another just like Jesus. I’m sure he didn’t send the WP Gnomes into this post, but maybe it was the Vatican. (Take a look to see what they did.)

Hi Frank, top of the mornin to ya. I’m waiting for the Pope to call now. Speaking of H Ford, when he was in the film Witness, there’s a barn or house raising scene, and he did some of the actual building, giving HANDY man, all new meaning. 🙂

I remember that movie! I learned the tidbit in an interview I saw last week – possibly on CBS Sunday Morning. Good luck with that call!

I always saw him as a van owner. Into hemp, transcendental meditation, candles and fondue brunches. He votes green, eats vegan and curses intelligently.
I once wrote somewhere that he and Jerry Garcia would’ve been best friends.

They had the same hair style and both could sing. Yeah, I agree with that.

What a great post, Susannah. I am far from religious and am against organised religions of all sorts but let’s face it, the gist of what they all preach, when we remove all the brouhaha and money laundering I mean collecting, is love.
Now, JC – when one digs on rock stars – is a cut above. Can’t deny that!

Yes, I think he was cool and maybe a little too magnanimous about a few things but, all in all, he tried to do the right thing always hitting the right note. I have no idea who I’m channeling. His lawyer maybe. 🤔

Yes, he was judged for being kind, and let’s face it, kindness breeds bully behavior, alliteration not intended. I see it in my own life. People think I’m weak and can be had, for lack of a better phrase. It’s not the case, and when I stand up, the shock is 3-ply. But, bullies nowadays, who rant and Tweet, I hate to admit, seem to reign. It’s puzzling, so you can see why JC had so much trouble. Plus, he forgave everybody. I can see him having drinks with Trump saying…forgive him father, he knows not what he do…of course that’s the hip-hop version. 🙂

That he was. And it does, doesn’t it? Blows, if you ask me…
And now? This tweeting age? It has given permission to all and sundry to behave like troglodytes.
And yeah, he probably would have been kinder to Trump than he deserves

Our oldest son sang in “Jesus Christ, Superstar” in 1971. Loved it. Jesus Christ is absolutely the best in my life…and yes, I am very religious – don’t believe I would be dubbed a fanatic though. He didn’t just try to always do the right thing…He absolutely never stubbed a toe which was difficult to do wearing sandals. Catholicism isn’t the only act in town…it’s just one of many and there are some good apples out there among many of the money mills. When you allow JC to be your GPS you can be like Allstate and know you’re in good hands. I wish I could tell you what He has done in my life…it is absolutely amazing. He is the ultimate friend for life. Good read, Susannah. P.S. Don’t worry about the Pope…God has his number.

I used to. I have stools with my initials engraved. There actually was a bar across from my old place called, The Madison Pub, that, if you were a regular in fancy schamcy script, put your name on the wall. After 60 years, they’ve razed the whole block, alas…including all those names. Many were much more illustrious than mine…Rex Harrison, Peter O’Toole, Jack Kennedy before he was the prez. Oh well…c’est la vie.
