Congrats! You soooo deserved that Twix! I'm sure you burned off twice that number of calories!

Anybody remember the movie, Jesus Christ Superstar? It came out the summer I turned 13 (1973). I saw it 12 times in the theatre. Ted Neely (Jesus) was touring in Tommy that year, and did an appearance at the theatre. I have his autograph somewhere.

Today I was looking for a CD, and pulled out the soundtrack. I know every word to every song. When we have that TD reunion, I can perform the entire rock opera, solo, if requested. I own the DVD, of course. This story still moves me so much.

About 10 years ago, I went to see it on stage. Ted Neely and Carl Anderson were touring with the company. Ted Neely couldn't perform that night. Carl Anderson was magnificent. He's since died of cancer. Ted Neely's understudy actually sang beautifully, with a better voice than Ted's, objectively. But I really regret not getting to see Ted and Carl sing together one more time.

We can do a duet Lise. I was 13 when it came out too - loved it. I still have the album and listen to it every so often.

COOL!
Those songs give me chills. I can see every scene as they play, too.

It's funny that you mentioned it today because I was singing a couple of songs from the album on the beach yesterday. My BIL asked why and I said I don't know, they just popped into my head.. One of my faves is "So, you are the Christ, you're the great Jesus Christ. Show me that you're divine. Change my water into wine..." - and also "What's the buzz?" and of course, "I don't know how to love him". Hmmm, it's making me wanna go find my CD...

I love the juxtaposition of "What's the buzz, tell me what's a happenin'" with "When do we ride in to Jerusalem?" Then Ted Neeley's voice soars over them: "Why should you want to know?!" So many of those songs run through my mind, at odd times. Do you have the DVD?
