Shades of John Lennon...anybody heard of any LP and CD bonfires yet? I bet the
only folks that get their knickers twisted is the televangelists...
I'm really starting to believe that most of the general public is too busy with
their own personal soap operas to even worry about it. Most of 'em probably
feel the same about politics...if it doesn't have to do with Lost or Desparate
Housewives, they don't care.
On the other end of the pop vs. religion spectrum, I hear there's something
called the "U2charist" that's gaining popularity in the Episcopailian
churches...I kid you not...
