    (was a catchy tune but even then hated the lyrics)

    Not really – Greenbaum’s hit did kinda sorta coincide with the whole Jesus freak movement. I always think of Larry Norman and Randy Stonehill being the pioneers of christian rock (think Norman passed not long ago); there were a number of secular songs which were co-opted as being generally spiritual (Spirit in the Sky, My Sweet Lord) – but the lyrics/message weren’t really gospel, so I rockin’ bible thumpers didn’t approve.

    (more worthless info from my midwest childhood)

  2. How are you gonna get mad cow from a transfusion from British vegetarians (underline, ital, boldface, etc.)? C’mon, DIBS, you’re a more logical fellow than that.

    P.S. I think I’ve been to that Thai place. Excellent. Several good ones in the area but 2 blocks west of 9th on 47 sounds like the really good one we’ve been to, too.
