Did Spellchecker/Suggestions change GOD to BOB. As in God's your Uncle!

Or did you mean Mr Smith?   Haha

Bob Smith Sings Chav Songs Of The Lord -let the crowdfunding begin.

 

Liam will want to duet. A very Burberry Christmas?

God and religion were the basis of our humanity's artistic and cultural expression. This had not changed in thousands of years. Modern art is basically a way to store and launder wealth.

 

As a society, we value little modern art because it's of little value.

Bit off topic but I liked Devo’s take on religion when they would play as Dove the Band of Love. They would chastise Devo for their devil music. Excellent version of Serve Somebody by Booji boy and there own song I saw Jesus. They would play as a separate band before their own gigs. Get paid as two separate bands.

It's true that Western art was influenced and sponsored by religion because that's where the money was. However artistic and cultural expression pre-dates Christ by at least 8,000 years. Art and musical instruments have been found from the Early Neolithic period.

Jimmy Jesus was a gangster. ????

Several news items recently claiming that:

- Jesus never existed

- Virgin birth never happened

- Died and resurected from the dead has no basis in fact whatever.

 

And over many years the claims that Jesus, god, the bible all very negative about gay folks / gay activities (and other items) are not mentioned anywhere in the bible.

 

My bible/idol is my nightly can of Chang, brings me great pleasure and I can see the evidence.

I saw them New Years Eve '77. They were at their Devo-ist.

 

If you liked Devo, you must like the other great D-band, The Divynals. At some point, we'll have to get into Nick Cave's baffling religiosity to get back on track.

There was also the less commercially successful (it's all down to the record label) 5 Blind Boys of Mississippi.

 

I always hoped for a blind-off pro-wrestling match between them.

Devo in 77. Impressed. Hardcore volume 1 and 2 are worth a listen if not heard before. 

To me being an Australian the Divinyls are a different kettle of fish. Some good songs though. 

Brother went to same Anglican school as Nick Cave. Not a strongly religious school but maybe an influence. It is hard to understand how some fall into faith. Prince too.

speaking of jesus and wrestling, hulk hogan is preachin' it. 

but maybe it's because he's had a tough life?

70 yrs old and 25 surgeries.

In the South, White Gospel is called Southern Gospel -to reassure any Dollywood attendees in doubt.

 

Elvis was probably the last white southerner to willingly listen to Black Gospel. 90% of what we call show biz comes out of Black Gospel and Minstrel shows.

Elvis had an album out of gospel songs
I think it was simply called "Elvis sings gospel"
It was out of this world! Amazing

Yeah, it's a 2 cd set. His backing group, the Jordanaires, were very collaborative. Carl Perkins led the session. Sold millions.

 

This is the best known song :

 

 

 

But for Elvis-Inspirational, nothing tops this:

If you love Jesus so much, marry him and then give him the bill for your fancy church dresses and hats. ????

Jesus saves, but Messi scores on the rebound!

 

Some religious music like requiems where I don't understand the words is good with me! - Gospel music - can't stand it!

Actually a hood, tore up the desert in his Triumph and hung around the Cross (maybe only Sydneyites get that reference).

Jevohah's Witnesses, tho, not exactly known for killer tunes.

 

Apart from the many negative aspects of religion, most of the art I like has roots in it, just like most of the music I like. The search to know the spirit is eternal.

What spirit?  I just want to be a good person.
Religion is evil.

Is that the religion where the god arrives on Earth via a spaceship? Nuff said.
