Jesus Christ Superstar

Our latest Sunday afternoon was spent watching this movie that first came out in 1973. We actually went to the theatre to see it then. I thought it was going to be sacraligious and I didn't particularly want to see it but it was great. This is one of my favorite movies of all time.

If you haven't seen this movie, give it a try. For a rock opera, it is one of the best and some of the music just gives you goosebumps. It sure beats the pants off Mass for shut-ins.

Just a taste of the super lyrics. If you've seen the movie, you'll find yourself singing - if not, you 're missing out!


Jesus in Garden of Getheseme talking to God:

Why, then, am I scared to finish what I started? What you started! God, I didn't start it!

God, thy will is hard. But you hold every card. I will drink your cup of poison, nail me to your cross and break me, bleed me, beat me, kill me! Take me now, before I change my mind!

I love - love - love this movie. I watched it everyday...remember?!?

"What's the buzz - tell me whats a happenin'"

"I see much clearer now...all to well I can see, where we all soon will be"

"Add a touch of hate to Rome - we will have a home of our own"

Man - now I am going to be singing this all day.....
