Holy Saturday Night at the Oldies

First off, six definite de-couplings of rock and roll from sex and drugs.

Norman Greenbaum, Spirit in the Sky

Johnny Cash, Personal Jesus. This is one powerful song.

Clapton and Winwood, Presence of the Lord. 

Billy Preston, My Sweet Lord

George Harrison, Hear Me Lord

George Harrison, All Things Must Pass.  Harrison was the Beatle with depth. Lennon the radical, McCartney the romantic, Starr the regular guy.

Bonus cuts

Stanley Bros., Rank Strangers

Bob Dylan, Gospel Plow

Bob Dylan, See that My Grave is Kept Clean

Bob Dylan, Father of Night

Iris Dement, Will the Circle be Unbroken?

Andrea Bocelli and Alison Krauss, Amazing Grace

Bob Dylan, Not Dark Yet

..............................

JSO sends us to Will You Remember Me? by the Pine Box Boys. The dessicated soul of the secularist is incapable of understanding religion.  He thinks he will eradicate it. But religion, like philosophy, always buries its undertakers.

Finally, The Presidential Message on Holy Week, 2025. Quite a change from that 'good Catholic' Joe Biden's Transgender Visibility Day of last Easter.  And if memory serves, Hillary spouted some equally offensive nonsense the year before that, but what she spouted I have forgotten.

Another from Dylan: Gotta Serve Somemebody.

Thanks, Malcolm. I'm surprised I forgot it. From the "Slow Train Coming" album.
