WHEN GEORGE COMES AROUND:

When the Man Comes Around (Bommer, via lgf)

Verges on idolatry, but what a great song from Johnny Cash.

Who could have ever imagined how appropriate the "kick against the pricks" reference would be?

Ditto. I *love* that song.

At least he didn't cast a golden Bush statue and sacrifice oxen to it. As a latitudinarian, I respect that.

oj,
Top of the 5th, step one in breaking the "Curse of the Bambin" is inching closer to completion.
Bethatasitmay, from the liner notes from which the song was taken:
“I spent more time on this song than any I ever wrote. It’s based, loosely, on the book of Revelation, with a couple of lines, or a chorus, from other biblical sources. I must have written three dozen pages of lyrics, then painfully weeded it down to the song you have here.”
