May 2022 Vinyl Spin Challenge - A Crash Course for the Ravers

Day 20 - Modern Love
God and Man / No Religion
Play something (anti-)religious or spiritual

Growing up in SoCal in the 70's, we didn't have a traditional church due to theological disagreements, more of a hippie church. Our congregation met in an attic and had a traditional mass from a Jesuit priest, but the songs were more 70's folk-rock fare. Like Jeremiah Was A Bullfrog, Jesus is Just Alright, and plenty of Cat Stevens.

I've long since strayed from the church, but songs like Morning Has Broken bring me right back.

God sometimes you just don't come through
God sometimes you just don't come through
Do you need a woman to look after you
God sometimes you just don't come through

Playing something Religious/Spiritual…easy. Playing something Satanic…a cinch. Playing something that is… Anti-Religious? That’s a bit tougher. I think This album is almost unbearably cynical about the human condition and that it encompasses (including religion).

FRIGHTENED Rabbit- The midnight organ fight
So I tried to go for bad religion or "the blood, the body, the machine" by the thermals, but decided to go for this for heads roll off.
"
Jesus is just a Spanish boy's name
How come one man got so much fame?
To enemy, it's pointless to anybody
That doesn't have faith
Give me the cloth and I'll wipe my face
When it's all gone
Something carries on
And it's not morbid at all
Just that nature's had enough of you
When my blood stops
Someone else's will thaw
When my head rolls off
Someone else's will turn
And while I'm alive, I'll make tiny changes to earth"
