Utter, absolute genius.  The next dimension in musical boundaries.  It should be a chart hit if you could sell it; how the hell do you divvy up the dough, I wonder.

I was born in November, 1991, the day Freddie Mercury died. And my Momma believed that every man should be straight, but still I just cried, cried, cried...

And fuck Phil Collins.

She tore a muscle "somewhere near Maryland."  Took me a minute to get that one.  Tricky, Dick!

Posted this on FB too, but for posterity: the original promo clip for Murray Head's "Superstar" when it was originally released as a single in late 1969 (more than a year before the "JCS" LP appeared).  This was basically Webber & Rice's "pitch" to Decca Records when they were trying to sell the idea of a rock opera about the Passion.

You've GOTTA (especially Gaz) check this out: a version of "The River Is Wide" from 1967 (2 years before The GrassRoots had their hit with it) by a group called the Forum.  Very Walker Bros/Phil Spector-y. NTM and something of a revelation:

Wow, this was a find - thank you!  I far prefer the Grass Roots' steam-clean of the arrangement.  This one's a little gaudy-oh!
