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?

Hmmm, I know I don't but Erik might have it. I wouldn't mind seeing it again. I saw part of the movie on TV a few years ago but haven't seen it again since. Now I have What's the Buzz running thru my head...

We got to see JCS with Ted Neely and Carl Anderson. It was awesome!

Easter Sunday we were in a coffee shop in Utah and the owner had JCS playing - since he couldn't go to Mass. It was great!

I just queued it up on the Sonos.

I'm JEALOUS! There's a lovely tribute by Ted for Carl on some website, maybe a Carl Anderson website...don't remember.

You posted about that guy having JCS playing on Easter Sunday. I thought that was very cool. I can see that I won't have to perform solo at the TD get together!

How about those opening and closing scenes in the movie, where they're getting off the bus, so exhuberant (sp?), and then getting back on, so subdued, and diminished in number...got the chills again.

[Veronica]

I don't think I've ever seen the movie.

I'm so not car savvy....

Ok, I am supposed to be in my car right now on my way to the Perth MTB XC race...Why Am i here you ask? My car won't start for some reason-I called Ian & we tried to figure out what's gone wrong.
Here's what i can see on the right hand side of my dashboard-engine oil light on, battery light on-We think it's flooded but aren't sure. We don't have roadside assistance & will now have to wait for a few hours until my neighbour wakes up to help me out... . I'm on hold with the RAC though..

ARGHTHTHTHTHHT...what have i done to our car????

What kind of noise does it make?

It either doesn't have a spark, battery is dead, alternator isn't working, or isn't getting fuel.

I am not an auto mechanic, but I used to be married to one! TG for roadside assistance.

Good luck...

[crazycanuck]

Thanks Nanci...

Ian & I were on the phone trying to figure out what the engine isn't doing. I can tell you there's no spark in the engine but sounds like it wants to start-if that makes any sense..

I'm waiting for ian to call me & let me know theré's an RAC roadside assistance gent/woman on thier way...

I am keeping my fingers crossed that I can still go mtn biking this afternoon...Otherwise just another boring road ride...

Good luck, CC. At least you're "stranded" at home. Hope you get to go have fun with your friends.

V--the movie's worth renting. Let me know if you see it, and what you think.

We just watched 50 First Dates. I don't very often watch movies. This one was cute.

I suck at bike maintenance. Bleu is all shiny clean, with brand new Kool Stop brake pads. I can't get the wheels on correctly so they spin. Once I re-fasten the brakes, (v-brakes) the wheels don't turn at all.

I may end up at the LBS...

I have never had this problem before - could it be the Kool Stops?
