From Night Clubs to Christ: ACCORDION HELL

[nil desperandum]

7. Entertaining Stuff!!

For his next record, Van Impe takes on one of the real bastions of evil of the early 1970s: the rock and roll musical, Jesus Christ Superstar. Rather than an updated retelling of Biblical stories, Van Impe says, "Superstar is a new Christ, a false Christ and perhaps the preparatory forerunner of the one the Bible calls, the antichrist." Or just a bunch of hippies singing about Jesus, whichever.

For some reason I always thought the bastion of evil in the early 70s was the Nixon administration...I learned something new I guess...although I must confess I was a young man when Nixon was president so I had a first hand view of that crew of miscreants.
