A Strange Thing Mystifying (5.00 / 1) (#47)
by ruffian on Tue Apr 01, 2008 at 04:09:00 PM EST
Sunday I found myself humming some songs from JC Superstar for no apparent reason, then when I started singing the words too, I realized why.  Not to stretch the point too far, but go back and play the whole record if you have it.  Very amusing in light of what is going on today.

And leave it at that.

It's actually held up very well over time.  Sometimes I revisit songs or movies and wonder what I ever saw in them.  JCSuperstar - still good and still sharp.

of star making/breaking we are in, even though it was written in 1970 or so.  It has just intensified since then.

I didn't 'get' much of that when I loved it as a jr. high-school kid. Just thought it was an interesting way to look at the story of Jesus - I had a progressive nun music teacher that played it to us at Catholic school. Still have my brown double album.
