Doing my X Catholic upbringing duty on Good Friday.......watching Jesus Christ Superstar!!!!!!

The music is fantastic, oh right Andrew Lloyd Webber. Just started and forget a lot of it. So far it’s been great. Happy Easter season to you all.

I started watching "Barabbas" earlier today but got bored...I may look for "Godspell" later, I like that one too. "Ten Commandments" is almost four hours long so, no to that one. We'll see...

still don’t know how my mom and dad did it for 6 kids......all Catholic schools. ALL OF US. Only my dad worked....sold local advertising for the Madison, Wi area. I still don’t know how they could afford all 6 kids going to 12 years of catholic education. Mom, dad, my favorite brother, and my sister are gone, but the two older brothers are very religious, me and my youngest brother, not so much.......

Saw the stage production in New York and in Philly with the original cast just an amazing score.

“Pilate’s Dream”, and the lyric near the end when Caiaphas sings to Judas: “You’ll be remembered forever for this!” Likely not in a way either of them imagined until it was too late.
